Hey! My name is Jessica and I am just starting my weight loss journey. I have been "stalking" these boards for months and have finally gotten the courage to join in.

I have read so many posts and have shared your victories and moments of defeat. .....Thank you all for being so honest.

I have started my 6 month supervised diet and have gone to a seminar, that my surgeon held, this past weekend. I hope to have my surgery in Oct/Nov.

I don't really remember ever not being overweight..... It was just who I was. But now, it is time for a change!!

I am looking forward to sharing my journey with you all.

-Jessica :)

Welcome Jessica! I have got so much positive energy, encouragement, reassurance, and good advice from the folks here. And a few great laughs! I hope you enjoy your journey although of course there will be rough spots. With this group you never need to be alone though! Welcome!

Hi Jessica! I too just joined and have found lots of positive and friendly people that know what this journey entails. We need, especially right before surgery, the reassurance that we are making the right decision. I hope everything goes well and look forward to tagging along on your journey!

So, I'm new here too. Just been lurking around the boards. Lol. I just had my fourth "diet" visit today with my Dr and my seminar is scheduled for 4/12. I'm anxious to find out who my surgeon will be and what hoops he wants me to jump through.

Flutterfly, Dr. Andrew DeWitt will be my surgeon. He is located in a hospital that is a Center of Excellance (Princeton Baptist).

I am a R.N. at the one of sister hospitals (Shelby Baptist) but we are not a Center of Excellance.

      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.
