Yesterday my 11yr came home from his grandparents and hugged me and said hey mom I can fit my arms all the way around you. I was sad at first thinking I was so big my child couldn't hug me? And then thought not anymore.

I have a 10 yr old daughter and she hasn't ever known me as not fat! My surgery date is june 6 and I can't wait to be able to have that happen to me too ! It makes it all worth it!!

I totally understand my kids have always known me fat, and really started getting to me when my 4yr was telling me I was fat or your belly is big. I would tell him that's not nice , but kids have no filter and are way more truthful than adults.

Yep.. children can be brutal reality checkers at times. God bless them of course, but it still hurts.

OP... This is just NSV #1 with many to come! Yippee!

This thread is my life! My daughter says the same thing! She is 5. I only got hurt when she said that she wants one of my friends to be her mom because she is skinny. Now that I'm losing she gets excited for me when I lose and she plays "the biggest loser" with me and I'm the contestant. Kids definitely are brutally honest.

      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.
