Sh*t I've Learned From This Board!



Recommended Posts

I love this site! I get all my questions answered and you all have never steered me wrong. My top 5:

#5 milk of magnesia is the nectar of the gods! That stuff works like nothing else. And with no discomfort.

#4. Stalls happen. Deal with it. The weight will come off. It has no choice. I can't maintain all this fat on my current caloric intake.

#3. Plan your meals ahead of time. If you dont know what you are going to eat, you are more likely to make poor choices.

#2. Never trust a fart! That is one I just took everyone's word for. I have no desire to learn that on my own. I trust you all!

#1. If I think it or have a question about it, put it on the board. Someone out there has experienced it before and knows what to do!

What have you learned?

I had read number 2 on this board many times, but somehow I still wasn't quite prepared for it.

Your number 3 is my number 1. Day in and day out, my success depends on knowing in advance what I'm going to eat next, otherwise there is a jack in the box on every corner just calling my name.

What I've learned...

This too shall pass.

Pain , stall, hunger, gas....you're going to be ok. Others have made it through it.

And I'm NEVER alone. :wub:

I learned the value of NSVs. Sometiimes the scales refuse to show how much progress we're making but there are other ways to see we're headed in the right direction. Too tight pants that are now too big or a compliment from an unexpected source.

#3 is where I've failed before so I've already bought my serving containers to freeze meals that I can then pop into the microwave later in the week.

That is very true! The NSV's should have been number one!

      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.
