Hi everyone!

My name is Robyn and im 21. I have been in the process of doing my pre-op appointments and classes so that I can get my insurance aproval. My date is set for Wednesday july 21, and I am VERY nervous. I am also excited too. I start my liver shrinking diet tomorrow and I m excited to see if I lose any weight from it.

Good luck to everyone else who is about to be banded!

Best of luck to you! I'm always excited when I see young people taking this step. I wish it had been an option when I was your age. My life would have been so different if I'd been able to lose the weight at your age.

Again, good luck to you! What are you doing for your pre-op diet?

im the same person just on another username...

My pre op diet is a protien drink for Breakfast, a protien drink for lunch wiht a small piece of fruit, 2 oz cheese or half cup yogurt for a sack, then a small piece of meat and a cup of vegetables and a piece of fat free whole wheat bread. then half an apple or 10 baby carrots for snack later

I hope I do well...Right now Im having a hard time finding protien shakes that I can drink. I have nectar in the crystal blue, which is ok, adn then i added a packet of sugar free crystal light lemonade to it and that made it sweeter. What protien drinks did you drink? do you have any advice for getting through the next 2 weeks?

I am set for my surgery on July 13. I only have to do a liquid diet starting the day before my surgery! I am very nervous - am actually having a little bit of anxiety. :thumbup:

hi, this is my first post here :thumbup:

I expect to have a date soon set for August. I have been nothing but nervous bordering on anxiety for the last couple days...

I suspect that is the norm, all the questions

"what if it doesn't work for me"

"maybe I should do Bypass"

"should I give non-surgical options another shot"

maybe that's just me....:thumbup:

but I suspect nervous is the norm in some form, we are all here for a singular reason and i would be very suspect of someone who was not especially nervous at some point.

Good Luck! :eek:

I'm hoping for a late August surgery date, too and all the same thoughts are going through my head! It helps to read the forums here and hear about other people's progress and that they went through the same thought processes that I'm going through.

      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.
