What is your favorite Protein shake.Preparing for my pre op fast...

nectar by Syntrax.

Best Flavors = Roadside Lemonaide and Fuzzy Navel (tastes like TANG)

Both are great Breakfast substitutions.

Hi I'm new here. I had my band in 2010. It slipped in 2011 so had it repositioned. Then 2012 the port flipped. I am still the same weight as I was before the band. I am scheduled for surgery on December 11th. So nervous as worried this won't work either. Anyone else felt like this?

Hey everyone. Band to bypass this week (Nov 26th). I just want this band out now! 2 surgeries and it is still not working - leaking, slipped and causing all sorts of problems to my insides. Onwards and upwards come Thurs though. I have heard and been warned that pain at the port area is the worse as they have to kind of dig it out - yuck!!! xx

Lap band 2010, problems from beginning. Finally had it removed and revised to rny on 10/26. Was a very difficult surgery and so far has been a tough recovery for me. I've kept a daily journal to remind me of this journey. I'm hoping someday I can look back without pain and be happy that I've healed and been successful. Even more so, I hope I can get over the anger I have for the Dr. that did the lap band then left me swinging in the breeze with no help. But anyway, each day gets better and some heal faster than others, so good luck and keep a journal and keep us all posted!

Revised this past Monday from lap band (2007). Doing well, more pain from them digging g at the port due to scaring, but overall okay. Hopefully the time will pass fast for your surgery date.

Band placed in 2005...did fair for a while-- lost 110 then it seemed to stop working and I gained 60 back. Then over 2011 onward the fire backwash and reflux made my life miserable. FINALLY got the band out last spring and then gastric bypass on 11/9/15. Now I have NO REFLUX!!!! Recovery was a bit slow--way way exhausted!!

So far down #21 and feeling good!

I'm using nectar vanilla torte, premier chocolate, nectar unflavored and nectar strawberry-kiwi.

Blendering ham and turkey, tuna with some mayo--going HIGH Protein and LOW carbs!! Without the acid I can even eat a bit of blenderized salsa and not regret it!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
