Well,

Just a little update, as of today I have lost 100.6 pounds and it feels great. I am getting my life back, doing things I have not done in years and looking forward to doing a lot more.

I am getting my Open Water Diver's Cert. renewed next month and plan to spend a lot of time underwater this summer. This is something that I loved to do 15 years ago and lost it to over eating. Friends and family are seeing me crawl under vehicles to do the work myself instead of having to ask my son or nephew to do it. Heck I can even get off the ground without having to grab ahold of something to pull myself up. I'm riding my motorcycle more, life is just great.

The vertical sleeve is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Even if I didn't get any help from my insurance company.

But you know I feel the best thing coming from this is I feel I will be on this Earth a little longer and get to spend more time with my wonderful kids and grandchild.

Once again thanks to all the people on this site for your posts, prayers and friendship.

A special thanks to my sleevebuddy Keys Pirate and her husband Rich for their friendship.

I hope everyone has a great week and good luck on your weight loss journey.

Gary

Hey Carol,

You go girl, 71 lbs is great. Cannot wait to see what our after picture looks like in Sept.

My wife is excited about coming, said she will leave the diving up to us but enjoy being on the boat and getting to see the ocean again.

Wow 71 lbs that is great.

See you guys in Sept.

      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.
