My surgery is three weeks away, it took this month forever to get here. Originally I was scheduled for 8/23, but had to move it because of school. I am ready....ready to walk up stairs and not be winded, ready to not be in pain after work, ready to show my son what I've got on the bball court. My aunt passed away when I was 13, leaving behind her 3 children. She was 33, I don't know what she died from exactly, but I'm sure her weight was a contributing factor. I am now 27 and I have always feared that could be me. When the scale hit 400lbs I started researching, after several failed diets of course. 9/27/12 is my day, I'm ready to be a size healthy!

      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.
