    I did not have the 6 month diet. Perhaps you can tell your PCM that the requirements have changed and that you contacted Tricare directly. Maybe he/she will go ahead and refer you! Best of luck...Lisa

    Looking for a buddy/ mentor

    I haven't been banded yet....two more weeks! I do know that you came to the right place!!! I hope your "cheating" isn't often. I am going into this with the thought that if I'm going to go through all of this....I don't want to cheat. I understand that there are ways around the band....but I don't want to know! I wish you all the luck.....and I'd be happy to be a buddy......Lisa

    If I can do it, so can you!

    Thanks for sharing you inspirational story. I tip my hat to you.....a stong woman! I pray you have smooth sailing from now on! YEP....we TOO can do it! Lisa
  15. One great point that my surgeon pointed out.....a lot of people regain the weight years after by stretching out the stomachs (sleeve and bypass) BUT the sleeve has a high rate of people keeping the weight off and can still make restrictions.

    Where's everyone from?

    Boston area....but originally from Biloxi, MS
  17. By chance are you going through Lahey? My Dr. said the same thing. Made me question my choice. I am in Billerica....I would love to have a local partner to go through this with. My surgery date is 8 July. Lisa

  19. Just for additional info.... Unjury shakes average 21 grams protein New Direction averages 26-27 grams protein....they also have MANY different flavors and puddings (like lemon)...I am ordering a bunch of the products for after surgery as well. Flavored waters, capucinos.... all high in protein Thought this might help!

    1 Month Post Op Today!

    You are inspirational Amine......I am 2 weeks away from banding....hope my story is just as positive as yours! Lisa
  21. I did the body by vi shakes last summer but didn't set well for me. I am now using unjury (order on line)...amazingly good! I have a few band friends that use Unjury...all successful and happy with the product. It IS designed for weight loss/bariatric surgery patients. My Dr uses the New Direction shakes for Pre-Op.....tried one....pretty good! Good luck... Lisa
  22. July is coming quick! How is your pre-op diet going? Nerves...? Let's stay connected! Lisa
