thought I would create my own account



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I thought I should create my own account instead of using John's as I thought people might get confused when it shows to different tickers. I have posted several times under John's username hence why I kept it sort of the same only added one digit.

Well I am being banded on 4th September by Dr.Copp at Greenslopes. John my husband got banded on the 17th March and has lost heaps of weight and has not had to give up anything so I thought I would take the plunge as like most people here I would lose weight then gain it all back again and more.

I am looking forward to the op and am now currently doing the Optifast stage I must admit this is day 3 and am only now starting to feel better the first two days were really hard(I woke up in the middle of the night feeling really hungry and was feeling a bit lightheaded). Today I feel a lot better.

Sam,

great to see your with your own username!

Yeah the pre-op diet was hard for the first two days - I got the worst headache I've ever had in those two days, but it got easier and easier right up to surgery!

Hi all,

I agree I must admit it is getting easier as the days go by (thank goodness). I also ended up with headaches the first couple of days, but hey painkillers work well it was the wakening up in the middle of the night feeling hungry that got me. I have now started eating a small amount of salad at night to help stop feeling so hungry (no dressings of course) and that has helped heaps.

      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.
