I THOUGHT I was the only one



Recommended Posts

Better than I think I have a right to expect but NO where near where i thought i would be. I lost 135 within the first year and then nothing. In fact i have put back on aobut 15 but i have been stable for quite a while. I work out in a gym and do a lot of outdoor activities an d for the most part I am healthy. I would like to lose the rest of the weight but I guess it is just not as important as I thought it was :) If I stop and think back a coupple of years I guess I would have to admit that this is WAY different. How you doing?

I was banded on March 7, so close enough. I've lost 88 total and put 17 back on since the new year... Then I've had to have a complete unfill due to possible slippage... now we're starting fills again and I'm trying to get back on track. I started at 290.

And I agree, everything is WAY different, for the best. No regrets.

I was banded March 1, 2006 and lost about 80 pounds in the first 6 months....and then nothing, then gained 20 back,...and now lost 15 of that in the last 6 months. I just got unfilled because I got clogged up and couldn't even get Water down...must have eaten something that was chewed well. I'm getting refilled right after Labor Day and am trying to get myself psyched up to really lose this tool to its full potential. I still have such a long way to go....but at least I'm getting back on the wagon

      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.
