In houston - banding on 7/29



Recommended Posts

Hi all -

I'm being banded soon here in the Houston area. I'm an admin by trade, but I go to school full time as well. (nothing like burning the candle at both ends.)

I've been married for 5 years to an amazing man (though a bit clurless when it comes to Weight issues) and have a stepdaughter that is the absolute light of my life. We are all a little chaotic with some very active hobbies, 2 large dogs and even my mom living with us (asian and in her late 70's) just for good measure.

I have a very diverse set of hobbies. I LOVE music and sing as often as I can (the whole student and work thing) as well as embroidery, weaving, and cooking.

I've kept my 99% of the people I know in the dark when it comes to this. I've dealt with a lot of ridicule (including from dear old mom) so I'm remaining very tight lipped. My husband, and 1 friend who has already been banded know. That is it.

I'm dealing with PCOS issues, and trying to get pregnant. (after surgery and WL) and asthma... (I'm just a mess LOL!)

Hope everyone is doing well... I look forward to hearing from you!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
