After 4 months on maintenance, I'm actually starting to believe that I may have a normal weight for the rest of my life.

I have 4 friends who all lost a lot of weight - 40 to 90 pounds in the last 2 years without WLS and I'm seeing all of them put it all back on.

I think to myself "how sad and thank God that I discovered the WLS Journey"...

I so want to believe this! I'm still in the losing process though. I do have that fear that the weight will creep back on.

@@Christinamo7 ... I was just thinking that in the last 24 hours!

The hugely brave thing we each did was to choose WLS. At 21 months post-op I have almost forgotten the terrors and weirdness I felt when I finally made that decision.

One of the bravest things we can do is to approach a very difficult, hugely important problem from a brand new perspective, throwing away all historically acceptable, common-wisdom approaches that have not solved the problem. It's easy for us blame our prior failures on poor execution of the weight loss emperor's rules. Yet somehow we all found the courage to say that the emperor was naked.

I'm still giving Einstein credit for this brilliant aphorism: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results."

      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.
