Congrats. I was on Metformin myself, but they released me from the hospital the day after surgery off of it, and that was the main reason for me having the surgery. Wasn't expecting such quick results though. The weight loss is just a bonus. :)

I wanted the surgery for the same reason and it paid off, now the added benefit is losing additional weight...I no longer take meds when I used to take a cocktail of pills!

You illustrate a great point that I have tried to underscore on these message boards.

Too often I hear people use the actual number on the scale as the goal. They get stressed when they lose 4 pounds less than they expected. The number on the scale is TRIVIAL.

You just hit a massive goal, the elimination of the need for diabetic medications. That's a bigger goal than any number on the scale, to me.

My goal is HEALTHY, not a specific weight. Kick the diabetes, kick the high blood pressure, kick the sleep apnea, kick the sore knees ... those are my goals. Not the number on the scale.

Oh, and WAY TO GO!

      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.
