Just waiting for the call to have my surgery!



Recommended Posts

Hi all. My first post. Reading all the threads. They're very helpful. I'm so anxious for my surgery but very scared too. Not sure if my brain is as ready for this lifestyle change as my body is. How have you all dealt with your food addictions?

Wrapping your head around having to let go of the one thing that brought you comfort is very scary. It's been your constant companion and you're forced to let it go cold turkey. However, it is issues within ourselves, not related to food, that we need to discover and deal with. Once that is complete, you have to arm your mind and constantly remind yourself that this addiction is slowly killing you. Arm your mind to protect yourself every time you have a craving, by finding a distraction, walking away, drinking a glass of Water. The power is in your mind, you just have to utilize it. The sleeve makes it easier.

I just had my surgery 3 week ago and my mind still addicted to food.< /p>

Right now I want to eat, and my wife is always telling me to think if all the problems I had and to control the mind.

      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.
