Attitude... Your secret weapon!



Recommended Posts

Probably the best advice I can give a pre-opper is that in addition to WLS, your attitude will ensure a successful journey.

Moaning and groaning about head hunger, "stalls", working out, etc will only cloud your ability to fully appreciate this "gift" of modern day medicine to those of us struggling with obesity.

I will say, without a doubt, my attitude has been my biggest secret weapon throughout this amazing journey.

Is this easy? No. Am I always feeling fantastic? No. Are there times I wish I could turn to copious amounts of mexican food to drown my sorrows or express my happiness or just because I'm bored? Hell yes!

I make a conscientious decision, minute-by-minute to make this journey the amazing thing I had hoped it to be.

Don't ever hesitate to reach out to me if you need a pep-talk! We are all in this together!

      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.
