Well there's one thing about it, winning one is the only way that I'd ever have one of those. Money being as tight as it is, winning it would be my only chance! :rolleyes2:

I think that is great. I had my surgery on June 16 and I am down 65 lbs as of now. I was one of the luck ones that did not experience any side affects at all. However, you will do fine and some of the challenges you will face after surgery is you will notice how much food is a focus on everything you do. DO NOT let that get you discouraged, it is just a phase and that too will pass.

For example, I was one week out of surgery and the family wanted to go eat bar-b-que, well I did not want to go in the first place and I ended up going anyway. I sipped on tea and bean juice, it was not that bad. Just remember your goals and keep true to them and flourish as you lose weight, towards a new life.

Hang in there... your new life starts in a few days....

After the surgery, you will notice that food does not taste the same, this will take some time to get adjusted to. I noticed that starches tasted bad, however, that was great it just helped me lose more weight. And after the first fill, you will have to basically force yourself to eat you 3 meals a day. That will not be to hard but you will notice that you will go 4 to 6 hours be you even start to get hungry.

Hang in there......

Wow, I wish I had the same experience as you Keith lol. The first few fills I didn't really notice any difference. With me I can tell a difference with the first fills and the fills I have had more recently. I need to go get a fill now because I'm hungry all the time.

my problem is telling the difference between head hunger and real hunger. I have learned over the past few years that tracking is my personal way of keeping myself on the straight and narrow. The band keeps me feeling full, no doubt about it, but when I am alone I start to graze. It is amazing the choices I make when I graze, not good one that is for sure.

However, the band has kept me on the loosing side now at roughly .25 lbs per week. It all adds up.

Welcome to the board, and congratulations on your success.

      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.
