Got my Surgery date January 21st!



Recommended Posts

Getting major surgery is very scary. But think of what brought you to this place. Like the rest of us, probably health issues. Not being able to do much without running out of breath. The results are so worth it. Remember how healthy you will be. I hope you can calm down and relax some. I would never go back. And you will feel the same! Great new year to you. STAY CALM!!!! Contact me anytime, glad to help.

I just got my surgery date today. It will be January 12. I started my liquid diet preop yesterday. Hope I get a better understanding of it as time goes on. I am so overweight I have to have the surgery. i'm not at all afraid, I think it's because I've listened to so many people who've had it and been successful. Fear only complicates my life, so I'll try not to go there. Hope you won't let fear get in your way of a new life opportunity.

I think Pammie has the best attitude and advice for you. Wish I had her advice a year ago!

I did the week preoperative liquids. It prepared me mentally for the ability to "feel" again

food just like any other substance can be used to numb out. Get ready to recover your feeling because once you have surgery you can no longer "eat" your way through them.

      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.
