    bigbirney got a reaction from Bandista in First Fill after 3 years   
    Long story short. Had surgery about 4 years ago, lost almost 100 pounds in the first year. Then I broke my leg and had emergency surgery, 10 screws and a 6 inch steel plate later I sat around for 4 months and put on half the weight. I was laid off, and then my surgeon moved his practice away from Dallas. A year ago I moved back to Omaha when my dad had a stroke. Finally got my medical records, insurance and can get a fill, which is supposed to be next week.
    I feel like I am starting over, I am not even sure how many days to have fluids and then transition. I am not sure how many CC's are evn in my band. I dont have much restriction unless its a chunk of bread. Where do I start?
    Thanks in advance.

    bigbirney got a reaction from Bandista in Best protein shake for lactose intolerance   
    I have been lactose intolerant for some time, and most Protein Shakes just wreck my stomach, even with almond or cocnut milk. I ahve tried Trader Joes Hemp Protein and Organic protein from costco that is plant based. Is there any others I should look at?
