Will I feel normal again?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering If on a regular basis I will be aware of my band. Aside from any complications, ie getting stuck, productive burps (all of which I'm trying to avoid)

No, I am not aware of my band unless I drink or eat too fast. You need to become aware of the "soft signals" of learning how your band will react when you eat or drink anything.

Life with your band does require some time on a "learning curve", and is not difficult.

Best wishes on your journey...

I am not aware of my band until I see my scars and when I am eating............only the planning and chewing part of eating, not the actual eating part. (haven't been stuck yet)

The only time I think about my band is when I am eating....which is the point. ;)

You will feel better than normal. Once you start to lose weight you will feel fantastic!

I rarely think of my band, except when, as everyone else has said, I am eating.

Good luck.

      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.
