I honestly thought I was the only one that did that. . I will do my before and after pics when I can finally get 'Before pics' that I wasn't hiding behind people, or didn't take from a 'favourable' camera angle. Might need friends to send me random/candid pictures

I am cleared for foods but I can only eat every little. I have tried some solids that have come right back up. I am going to try drink more Protein. I must admit them when I drink it it leaves me satisfied for a couple of hours.

Just keep in mind the body can only digest up to 30g of protein at a time. Definitely have to spread it out over the day. Good luck! Gonna be protein shopping very soon;)

MY surgery is on February 15th! Any last minute tips or advise are greatly appreciated! I'm beyond nervous!

I've just hit 5 weeks post op & cant seem to shake this stall for crap! Its been ongoing for about 2 weeks now & it's frustrating but I KNOW I'm not getting in the recommended Protein. Please suggest some protein brands & flavours you use to help get your goal in! I've tried the Syntrax nectar but only Fuzzy Navel & Carribean Cooler. Wasn't a fan of the former, but the latter is really good! I'm not looking for something with a weird after taste or anything like that. Bonus points if I can put it in Water (to make a protein rich "crystal light") or even if it's *truly* unflavoured. (Heard about GENEPRO but don't know much about them) Lay them on me!

I was excited yesterday taking photos for before & future after's. Today I'm just so anxious for tomorrow questioning why I'm making myself do this surgery & putting myself through this??? Nervous for the surgery & anesthesia horrible literally want to cry.

Congratulations & best wishes ????

I have always admired you and have followed your posts. Its great that those who are 4/5/6 years on, can come back and support those who are at the start of maintaining. This isnt a years diet, its a lifetime and hearing the success you have had shows how it can be done. Thank you Kate

Thank you for sharing your life with us, @gowalking! You have been and are an inspiration to me and many others. This is exactly what WLS is all about - our health and improving our lives. I don't know anyone who had WLS purely for vanity reasons. Stay strong! Stay healthy!
