I'm great! I'm always amazed at how little my portion sizes are yet I still feel full. I'm not finding it difficult at all, but my journey has just begun.

Hi! I'm 1 month post op and doing well. Amazed how I'm full on such smaller portions especially compared to before surgery. I got my first fill last week. I can definitely feel food moving from the pouch to the lower stomach--glad the the stomach overall is smaller with the plication!. My birthday is in 3 weeks do I have another (lofty) goal of losing 10 more lbs by then. Hope everyone is doing well!

I'm glad you see everyone is doing so well!

Plication was definitely an awesome decision! I'm rarely hungry! And I've lost 8.5 pounds in 6 days! I know this will start to slow down soon, but I'm just going to enjoy it while it's still happening. I'm at 221.6, and I hope to be in the 100's by the time school starts back at the end of August!

I'm doing great! No fill yet I'm down 17 lbs...changed my diet to low carbs and the weight is starting to drop off. My dr. Says to eat no more than 30g. I'm barely eating a cup of food. I find that I'm full after a meal for a long time. I'm not complaining though! Had homemade chilli for dinner -- it was yummy! Have a great night and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

      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.
