Hi everyone. I had my vertical sleeve surgery on Sept.1, 2010. At first I had buyer's remorse, but steadily it has gotten better. I am down from 319 to 281 in 6 weeks and life is getting better. My energy is returning and I can go shopping without feeling weak. I even rode a bike for a short distance yesterday for the first time in 10 years! It is amazing how many things I have found I can do since losing just this amount of weight. When I lose 100 lbs. I will probably feel I can jump over the moon...ok maybe not! Looking forward to getting to know everyone on the forum.

Hi JanieL:

I had my sleeve just a couple of days before you. I wouldn't say that I've had buyer's remorse (well, maybe the first day or two because of the pain). But I have definitely "missed" a few things. The kids wanted to go out for Ice Cream yesterday after a full day of running around town. I took them out, didn't get anything for myself, and was instantly in a bad mood. I've never been hungry, so it's difficult to say I'm really suffering. It's really just in my head.

Still, even with the emotional struggles, physically things can't be better, and my emotions will be sure to tag along as things improve. I'm still a happy guy, just have to keep an eye on those mood swings!

Good luck and keep at it.

      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.
