So as I was talking to someone else about their weight loss from VSG, I came to an almost profound (to me anyways) realization (2 actually).

1. From my highest weight, I have lost almost 50% of my body weight (appx 48%)

2. For the first time in my ENTIRE life, I do not feel like I need to lose any more weight. I have always felt like I needed to lose more, and I have always been heavy, since Kindergarten. Although it is not perfect, for the first time I feel at peace with my body. Something that I never thought was possible and something that I never thought I would ever feel.

Thanks so much! I never thought I was inspiring until people at support groups were asking my advice. Then I realized that people were looking to me, which felt really strange, and still does!

I like that you enjoy my posts. I just try to keep it real! I am normal, I screw up, I sometimes eat things I shouldn't, but I never went into this expecting perfection from myself!

You're real. Just like me and just like everyone else. And it's refreshing that its not all sunshine, rainbows and puppy dogs. No one that I have talked to at my classes have heard of this site. I'm trying to get the word out because let's face it...once a month support group meetings just doesn't cut it for most people. We need more info, more support and something to experience that helps time to fly by as we all wait for our turns robe sleeved.

So again, thanks! You and this site are very important to my journey. Someday I hope to help others as well.

      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.
