15 Lbs Before I Get A Date



Recommended Posts

And now here's my whine- get the cheese. My surgeon requires all patients to lose 5% body weight before even a date gets set! I thought 'no biggie! I'll just drink shakes most of the time'. I really didn't realize how dependent I was on food. What do I do when I'm stressed or upset?! I eat.

So, I've been back and forth on these first 5 pounds lost. And now I'm starting stressed over the last 10! This is a terrible test. Worst one yet. What's with this dang self sabotage!

I've been planning and cooking dinner for my family and then fixing a shake for me. And tonight my boys weren't hungry and hubby was too busy to stop and eat. Screw this! Make dinner I can't eat so no one will eat it?! So my response was eat my bariatric Protein bars because there was nothing sweet in the house.

I just feel even more isolated from my family than before. I feel under so much pressure to just lose the weight. If I had a date, my drive would be stronger. It's hard to bust my hump for a hypothetical.

Sigh. Just a big whine. Having a pretty good pity party I guess

      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...

        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.
