BIG THUNDER WAY TO GO, sounds like you are making positive moves. I am like you when I look in the mirror I don't see THAT fat of a person. Then whamy someone shows me a picture of me and I am like WHOLY COW I AM FAT, my mind likes to play games with me. I am being banded Friday the 13th and thank god. Every year for the last few years I added a few extra pounds. I am at 269 now but who knows when I would have stopped. This site is a great place. Stick with it. We can all do it together.

Hey Collector,

We are being banded on the same day!! There are 2 others. There is a thread for April bandies, "April 2007, Head Start on Spring" and it's great. Lots of support and humor as we all make this journey together.

Why don't you check it out and have your name put on the list and keep us posted of your progress!!!

:clap2:

Thunder and Wendell you guys are an inspiration to us all, it takes a lot of guts to admit it, a lot of nerve to see it, and a lot of effort to move on, I am a big guy myself and Reading your post i could feel your pain, i havent cried in years but all the sudden i teared up, I never saw myself at 350 witch was my biggest weight, i always told myself i would never go above 300, and when i had my children, i said i would lose it, now my son is 6 i am still what i was when he was born, and i can no longer live with the guilt and the pain and the discomfort, I have finally noticed how much i weigh and I am finally doing something about it. When ever the going gets tough just remember everyone supports us on this journey and we will win!!

Big Thunder, I hope you don't mind my response dear. You are eating way too many carbs. When you get banded your main source of food should be Protein. I would cut out the a.m. salad and maybe add a cheese stick. For the afternoon Snacks don't have Cereal have protein. Yogurt, cottage cheese, hard boiled egg, slice of turkey. Trust me when I say, you will feel fuller longer and lose weight. Good luck. You can do this. Be good to yourself. Julie

congrats on taking the right step...

As for your diet thusfar...you're doing fine, just watch your carbs and try to replace them with healthy Proteins as you'll stay full longer. For example, instead of the crackers, try a handful of almonds or walnuts. They provide more nutritionally and are more satisfying.

      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.
