Hi Jeanne :) I'm 3 months out from surgery and everything is going great. I'm one of the lucky ones - not a single problem . I just had my first bloodwork done since surgery and my numbers were perfect. I'm building up stamina for walking ,am less out of breath and hardly sweating at all. My joints are getting less painful and stronger every day. Like so many people before me have said... "I wish I would have done this sooner" (I was 68 when I had the sleeve done ) I did my first closet clean out - got rid of my big clothes and all my new clothes are 2 sizes smaller ! I'm just loving every day of this new lifestyle !!! Eating healthy and drinking feels so natural - no problems at all.It's my 2nd and only chance to get this right ! I see you're pre-op .... you'll do great ! How far along are you in the program ?

I actually had the sleeve done on March 20th this year and for the most part I’m doing great! Believe it or not I’ve had seizures since brain surgery in 2009 & have only had 2 since surgery! My heart is doing great, I’ve lost 72 lbs so far. Still not very hungry and some days having trouble getting in enough Protein. No worries tho because I know it’s a process and a daily achievement and I’m feeling great! Lots of new energy, new clothes I had bought long before surgery and can finally wear plus I’ve been to the free boutique in Gainesville and donated a bunch of clothes! Even got a couple of items but they didn’t have much out at the time I went. I’m going to go back there and check it out again because I’m down a few sizes now 😊 loving life 💗

That's fantastic news !!! 72 pounds is unbelievable !!! I'm crossing all my fingers and toes that those seizures will go away for good now that you had the surgery :) As many times as I read the success stories here...I'm still amazed at how many lives were actually saved by this procedure. We're a lucky bunch !

      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.
