All these approvals are making me so anxious. I just wanna get things rolling and do this already :). Have my first apt with the surgeon august 29 and I also already scheduled my pulmanologist August 31. Baby steps baby steps.

I just can't wait to write that thread that I'm approved!

This site has been so helpful already I'm so glad I found it!

On another note I do get all nervous and think things like "oh thanksgiving and Christmas are coming, what am I going to eat if I'm sleeves by then". My hubs finally smacked me (not really) and just stated the obvious. He said one day I will be able to eat those things again just a very small portion. He also said eating like that put me in this position and he is so right!

I know the first few weeks will be rough but I can do it!

Happy Saturday everyone.

Everytime I learn of a restriction - like no caffeine or carbonates beverages it took me a couple days to accept it and then it seemed okay when I realized everything I would gain- a new life. You will get through the Holidays as there is much going on besides food. I am scheduled for surgery in 9 days and know this Thanksgiving/Christmas will be different and I am so thankful. Just try to focusing on the long term gains- that really helps me take each step in this journey.

      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.
