Hi, Just made the decision to get banded. 57 years old and fat for most of them. Have an appointment with Dr. Copp for 4th December. At this stage it looks like I'll have to wait until February or March as I have heard the APRA are taking 8 weeks to approve super payments now.:lol:

You go girl:thumbup:... I'm very happy for you joybell. I too am 57 and was banded on Sept 3rd... good birthday present:eek:... I am so happy I decided to do the lapband and that it was approved by my insurance... thank the lord. I am down 26 lbs as of today and it's been 2 months... I feel so good.. It's amazing the pre-op liquid diet just purges all the junk from your body and felt better then... I have good days and bad but usually the bad are my fault... eating to fast or too much.. It's a whole new way of eating and it takes time to adjust.. Keep us posted. Stay in touch and know you in my prayers.

Sincerely,

MartiXLardy :rolleyes2:

Thank You MartiXLardy.

Told my boss yesterday and she was quite negative as we know a person who did all the wrong things after the operation and messed things up but having witnessed that person's behaviour I know how important it is to follow the dietitian's directions explicitly afterwards.

She also hates me having time off work.:rolleyes2:

I don't know what type of work you do but I had my surgery on Wed and went back to work on Mon....:tt2: sore but I sit at a office job too. Not allot of walking around. Wear the band or girdle they give you it's great support and helped allot. Especially for me with sleeping. It is very important to follow what they say. It makes all the difference in a truly bad :thumbup: experience or great. Also, don't over do the morphine meds. Seriously, makes you sick and you don't need that on top of a surgery...

Your boss should be more supportive. You will be around for a LONG time and then she won't have to do your work :rolleyes2:

To our health :tt1:

      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.
