Bummed At People's Reactions



Recommended Posts

The funny thing you can tell friends is that in my case i started at 365, the through diet got down to 215 only to shoot up to 325 then down to 190 then up to 325 then down to 220 then up to 300 before i said enough is enough. While a few friends wished i didnt need the surgery they understood from seeing me yoyo that it is hard to control. I actually dont care how much i loose i just am hoping the sleeve will help me to get back on track quicker when i fall off the wagon so to speak. That plus never wanting to go through this again is a big motivator. Tell your friends to go on a liquid diet for two weeks. At the end of the two weeks they will understand what it feels like to desire certain foods

Justsleeveit....the Kaiser program is really great, you are lucky as you will have a wealth of information, group support, behavioral support, nutritional support...and you will be on a supervised diet with weekly weigh ins to help you get in the groove. I am so grateful I participated in the program! I had surgery 4/6/12 and am feeling so strong and much healthier!!

      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.
