I made an appointment with my psychologist who I saw preop because of the issues I am having with compliments, people noticing my loss, even telling me I need a new work picture, etc. I am actually pretty proud I reached out to ask for help. My appointment is in the morning. I'm nervous because I think a lot of these negative thoughts are interwoven with the passing of my mom. I just don't want to screw up and needed a lifeline. ..

I think that is a terrific idea and a very healthy way to deal with a very big psychological blow. Reaching out for help I am sure was out of your comfort zone. A year ago, mine was to reach for a bowl of ice cream. I give you a world of credit for recognizing that you were struggling and finding a healthy way to deal with it. On this journey we are all going to face challenges like loss and injuries. It is how we deal with them that will determine if we achieve long term success or not. You just stacked the deck in favor of long term success. Your Mom would be proud!

Reconizing the problem and addressing it is a sign you will be ok :-)

You guys are the best!! I just kept thinking with so many changes in my life right now I cannot revert to my old coping mechanism which was food. I lost ny mom, my cat is being put to sleep on friday (he's 20 and kidney failure), I am up for a big job promotion at work and interview on tuesday and have lost over 100 lbs and don't know how to shop or view myself. If a psychologist who is an md can't help me no one can. Lol

Seriously tho realizing all this change is too much and taking the step to ask for help did make me proud. A krispey kreme or chocolate cupcake wont fix it

Good Morning Junies!

Well, I have reached my pre-surgery weight goal! When I began this journey my goal was to reach 150 pounds. My surgeon said that he thought I would 'bottom out' at about 180. This week I have hit 150! I have been increasing my activity and exercise so I have decided to keep going. I am only 5'2", so at 150 by BMI is still in the 'overweight' category. I am going to see if I can get to 130, which will put me at a normal BMI. If I make it, it will also mean that I will have lost 200 pounds.

Here's to new goals!

Yay!!! That is funny because my dr thought I'd bottom out at 180 or 170 due to my metabolism and revision. 146 this morning!!!!

      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.
