A dear friend of mine was just diagnosed with gastric cancer....I'm feeling so guilty for choosing to remove 85% of a healthy stomach....

You are doing this for your health to PREVENT future problems (obesity can increase your chances for some cancers, by the way)! Your stomach may be healthy and cancer-free, but the rest of your body is not. :)

Be thankful for taking that step towards your future and having the opportunity to reverse many years of damage!

I'm sorry for your friend's challenges. It's hard mot to personalize and compare and still, your path and your friend's path are not the same. Having your stomach won't change the path your friend is on. Gentle ease.

Sorry to hear about your friend. Unfortunalety we don't have control over life and you shouldn't feel guilty, just continue to be a good friend with your love and support.

      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.
