Yeah! Hi Everyone! I'm back from Monterrey with a beautiful lapband, courtesy of my wonderful doctor! What a time! Everything went beautifully, and then.... while doing "the viewing" my doctor discovered that I had a 5cm hiatal hernia! Wow! He fixed it and then went on to proceed with the lapband installation. Today, 4 days after my surgery, I'm still sore, but, hey... what's a little discomfort compared to how healthy I'm going to be and oh, baby, how good I'm gonna look! cheeky.gif

Thanks for everyone's well wishes. You all are the best! Oh... and if you doctor wants you to go on a liquid diet before the surgery, do it. Mine did and I lost 20 pounds of ugly fat (and I will admit water) prior to surgery. He was so impressed and said that it really does make it easier for the surgeon if you can do that. So now I'm going to find myself a nice looking little ticker and start plotting my weight loss.

Thanks!

      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.
