It's been 9 months since my surgery, I had my ups and downs. At first I felt like I made the biggest mistake in my entire life. But know I couldn't have it another way. I am so happy, and blessed that I made this decision. I've lost bout 130lbs. I am so happy

Thank you very much. Remember everyone is different. And in your case it might be even easier for you than it was for me.

I was never hungry it was more the fact that I saw my entire family eating all this foods, that I couldn't. I got so depressed. I wasn't mentally prepared, and on top of that I have depression.... So that didn't make it any easier. As time pass by I felt better and better. And I was mentally prepared. And I knew that I made the right choice. I saw the difference in me, my personality how I carried myself. I feel amazing.

Thanks for that, can't have been easy on so many levels, but from your pic you look great so it was obviously worth it. Again well done and you, and others on this forum, give me strength for what I must do, can't wait for my 130 but I can see that that is the light at the end of a dark tunnel :-)

      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.
