Change already.....weight and life



Recommended Posts

So I'm about 20 lbs down already. My life has changed. No more puffy bloatedness when i wake up in the morning. No more sore feet in the morning when I wake up and try to walk. No more adjusting my belt and pulling my restrictive undergarment over my stomach roll.

Today I ate at a restaurant and had my first peice of toast, eggs and grits. I HAD to drink Water the whole time, helped it go down. So I'm learning. I'm very thankful.

It's a good feeling when you realize you body is working better. I remember on weight watchers they would say losing 20% would give you a lot of health benefits. Learningintuition, I'm almost 4 months out and i feel sick if I even take a sip of Water with my food. I was told we could not drink and eat at the same time. I guess all doctors are different. Anyways your doing great wiith your weight loss: )

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU!!

And, ain't life grand? I am nearing my 3-month surgiversary, and have lost 30 pounds so far. I am extremely happy about this, and down two sizes in clothes.. woooHooo!!!

I see that there are many here who have dropped much more weight in 3 months, but I am quite happy.. I could never even lose 5 pounds and keep it off before, and this is for LIFE, for REAL.

The other thing I love about my sleeve is that losing weight is quite painless... it is almost impossible to overeat, and my tastes have really changed for the better.

Now I am working on learning to eat CLEAN, eat healthy and eat the right mix of nutrients. What a wonderful new life!!!!

I am so grateful that I found this web site, I never would have had the courage to go through with this surgery, or the knowledge to navigate the insurance foibles all alone.

      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.
