How Do You Deal With Negative Feedback From Family,friends,coworkers About Being Banded?
Great topic...I get banded on the 12th and Im wondering the same thing. So far the people I told have been supportive but those I havent told Im expecting opposition. Ive been overweight all my life...really...if this helps me lose weight then be happy for me and be supportive. I dont have time to deal with jealous or ignorant people.

Like blend up my food?- Surgery Scheduled For April 12Th!
Hello, that's cool...same date. I have to do two weeks of 2 shakes and one high protein meal per day. I went shopping for shakes today...i bought several different kinds so hopefully they'll all be good. So far the EAS strawberry and chocolate (carb control) are good....and the pure protein vanilla is good as well. I did not like the Muscle Milk Lite...had a weird taste. I also bought jello and pudding at Hi-Health that have a lot of protein in them. Stocked up on regular sugar free jello, pudding and cottage cheese as well. It will be here before we know it.... i still need to get some chewable or liquid vitamins as well. Let me know if you find some yummy shakes and let's keep in touch.- I Love My Band!
Thank you....that is reassuring to hear....cant wait to begin this new journey...April 12th!- Dr Oz Show On Wed

If you dont mind me asking...how much does the surgery cost in Mexico?- Surgery Scheduled For April 12Th!
Hi everyone! Background on me... My name is Nichole and I am 31. I am on day two of my Pre-op diet. I am 4'11" and a half and 234 lbs....heaviest I've ever been. My insurance wont pay for the surgery so my husband, bless his heart, pulled some of the $ out of his retirement, to help pay for the surgery. Im sooo excited. My question so I can start preparing...is it 3 weeks of more protein shakes (& that's it?) Post surgery? I want to get all the stuff now for after and my preop visit is on the 10th so i know I'll get all the info then but that doesn't give me a lot of time to prepare. Any info on post op diet would help. Thanks!! - Omg, Don't Like The Shakes, I'm Sooooo Hungry!!!
