I'm a single dad to three great kids -- ages 16, 11 and 10. Life has not been easy for them since their mom died four years ago, but they are generally doing great and I am very proud of them. They are probably the primary reason that I had this surgery last July -- I really felt like I needed to get my health under control so that I would be around as long as possible to take care of them and be happy and healthy while doing it.

Anyway, last weekend, I came home from shopping and my son was in front of the house playing basketball. As I came into the house, I stopped to talk to him for a minute or two about who knows what.

A little while later, my older daughter tells me -- "Dad, I was looking at my window and got a little scared to see some strange man talking to Kevin, but then I realized it was you!"

She made my day!

I love it! We should probably have a new thread here called "mistaken identity" as several folks lately have posted stories along the same line where a family member doesn't recognize you because you have lost so much weight! Congratulations....a great NSV!

That's a great NSV. Nothing like being a new person but still you. (If that makes any sense.)

      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.
