losingitforever

Hi all. I am new here but wanted to say I appreciate having this forum to have a place to ask questions and get support. I had lapband in 2011 and lost 125lbs and actually kept it off for 5 years, then got pregnant and band prolapsed and have had trouble ever since. Gained nearly all the weight back[emoji24] but have now been approved to get band removed and have bypass next Friday!! Exciting but also a bit scary. I wasnt sure when (or if) this would ever happen... and now have a new set of colleagues who dont know about my lapband journey so I didnt tell any of my colleagues at work about bypass. Now I am on calendar for this Friday. I am taking 2 weeks off for Christmas but I know I will be losing weight rapidly when i get back. How did you tell your colleagues, or did you? If you did, how did they react?

Get Nectar Protein. Add to crystal light or other food or drink... you can even taste it. Just learn to mix well.

I am getting RNY on 12/20 as well. I am ready to move forward in this journey as well!

I am in same boat. All cleared as of last Wednesday. Now waiting for insurance to ok and get on schedule. Am told December sometime...

You are doing the right things. I dont like the shakes either but make sure they are super cold or blend with ice, if allowed. Blend with a small amount of decaf helps too. You wont care about food anymore... you wont need to enjoy it so much as you will replace other things/activities etc. That you will enjoy more! You will eat to live, not live to eat. Best wishes! You can do it!!
