Hi everyone,

My 42 birthday present to myself is the first major step to improving my health. I have struggled with my weight all of my life even when I played junior college basketball I was still just shy of 200 pounds. I am a registered nurse who has seen all of awful things that can go wrong being morbidly obese and gastric bypass surgery. I chose life. I chose to live a fruit life, running after my 2 year old miracle toddler. I chose to fight against high blood pressure, fibromyalgia, sleep apnea, and gerd. My loving husband of 8 years supports me in his own way, if you know what I mean. He is also morbidly obese and I pray that he doesn't

become a barrier. I am excited, anxious, and a little freighten but just a little. I hope to find support and friendship.

You have made a grand choice - Be Proud !!!

To know, that one, is morbidly obese,needs to do something & to accept,that we need help:its time -- are two different sides of the spectrum, so you have crossed the most difficult barrier,, so get that surgery, work with your sleeve & get ready to welcome a new you !!!!!

The forums here will tell you all you need to know,more than your doctor & then you being a nurse yourself will be the topping on the cake. So All the Very Best !!!!

All the Very Best

      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.
