I never realized how different people see me until the other day. I'm 13 months out, down 100lbs and have run a half marathon since surgery. I have now seen 2 promotions in work and am reaching out to friends I haven't seen in ages. I have energy to spare! I'm working a 12 hour shift tomoro, then heading over to my parents to be a grunt worker while they declutter to move. I see all this and I think, " well yes, I did this over time and I am proud". My aunt doesn't see me alot, but we are Facebook friends. I saw her the other day and she was talking about how well I'm doing and how inpiring I have become. Inspiring??? Me??? It turns out there was a family discussion about me and how much I have changed since surgery. They can't believe my attitude and the fact that I wear colour now ( I used to be a plain white t kinda girl). I guess I never realized! It's amazing what this surgery gave me. Not only the will to live, but the will to succeed!!

      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.
