Good Morning Everyone,

I have just started the process to get the surgery done. Of course I am in my 1 month and my insurance require a 6 month "I CAN CHANGE" process before they can approve me. I have been overweight my whole life. I am ready to make this change, FOR ME. My family supports me and I actually have my aunt doing the whole process with me since she is also considering it as well. My boyfriend supports me all the way.

I am a 27 year old Puerto Rican female with no children and engaged to an amazing guy. As a typical spanish family we LOVE our CARBS! Right after high school (9 years ago) I have gained 70 lbs. I have gone with so much and upset with myself that I have let myself go. I am ready to change and I am glad I have found this website.

Thank you for reading my Post

Awesome! Thank you =) ....Any recommendation on the shakes?

I would be careful and not go crazy on the shakes because a lot of us have tried and boughten shakes and then our taste buds changed immediately after surgery and it was a waste of money ( there is premier protein which just about everyone on my Facebook groups love they are the pre made ones and the chocolate is so great they are 160 calories 5 grams of carbs and 1 gram of sugar and 30 grams of protein

star1202 thanks for the advice i will def check out the premier shakes i appreciate the help =)

Yoly617 i too am puerto rican and i also think about how hard it's going to be especially around family gatherings ohhh boyyy ...lol...i know we eat alot of foods that are high in carbs ....BUT ....i am sooo ready for this change i want to feel healthy and be here for my babies for many more years and enjoy life with them as long as i can ♥ ....=)
