Hi everyone! I'm new at this! I had my surgery last week one week ago today! I am an Italian cook! And I love food, but unfort for me, the Italian side of my family also comes with high Bp, diabetes, ect, so, I took the chance and had the surgery! Was very excited! But now that it's over.. Not so much my friends and support tell me it gets easier, I'm very nervous in ways of what to drink, or eat, since doc says I can have the stage 2, and WOW!! Do I miss the taste of food!!!!!! I thought once the surgery was over it would be diffrent, I know that it will get easier, and I will eventually be able to eat more of my fav's. but I do believe this is the best option for the bariatric surgery! So thanks everyone for welcoming me aboard :)

Don't know about the rest of you but my surgeon only did stomach surgery' date=' not brain surgery. Once a foodie, always a foodie. I still love food even at 28+ months out. Yes, watch food Network and cook up a storm. I just eat smaller satisfying portions. Now, this is a double edged sword being a friend. Easy to go overboard and graze.

I admit, food was my secret (not so secret) friend who I went to for all celebrations, disappointments and boredom. You need to deal with this PRIOR to surgery so you don't break down in front of a buffet like I did a few weeks after surgery bemoaning that I would never gorge again. And I won't.

No one says promises this VSG journey will be easy, WLS is never a cake walk (pun) but I know almost everyone will agree VSG was a good choice. Here, we will hug and cheerlead you on to your many victories ahead.

I love my sleeve and have no regrets.[/quote']

      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.
