I am excited but scared. I have a lower BMI and many feel I could/should be able to lose without the surgery. I just keep thinking what if something goes wrong???

I understand your concern. I'm a mom of 2 and though my husband is supportive I know he's worried. I just keep telling myself that I'm doing this for all the right reasons. About what people are saying, I have a bmi of 40 but I carry my weight fairly well. People have also told me they thought I could/should do it without the surgery. But, they don't know my struggle. Not in the deep, intimate way that i do. They are saying that on limited info. We have to do what is right for us because this is so personal. We both will do great!

Yeah. Thanks for the encouragement. I know you are right. I think I will feel better when this is all over and all is well.

I'm 5am Pacific Standard Time so though I'm the first of the day for my surgeon it's likely you all will be ahead of me. :)

MARCH 12 for me too! I am in Connecticut but I haven't got my surgery time yet. Start the protien sparing diet tomorrow which is only for 5 days but its going to be hard. 3 oz of Protein 3x a day, 2 quarts of Water and all he sf Jello or pops I can eat. I lost 10lbs already this past week on my liquid/ light meal diet. Summer here I come!!

      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.
