My wife and I was both sleeved in May of 2013! Its funny how now we realize everything we did revolved around food! Family get togethers cookouts nights out with friends just about everything! It's a bit depressing sometimes watching everyone eat but it's all good we're losing weight and that's what we wanted! We went grocery shopping yesterday and we really read labels and count fat grams and calories etc. I can't believe the junk we used to eat! I'm trying to learn eat to live not live to eat!

I just came from the grocery store. I'm still on full liquids so had cottage cheese, SF popsicles, chicken broth, refried Beans and yogurt in my cart.

The guy behind me was unloading his cart full of non-diet pop, processed meats, chips, etc... Granted he was probably having a cook-out but now that I'm in this mind-set it just all looked kinda gross. I do plan on participating in BBQ's etc... again but hope to make better food choices:)

Since we can only put so much food in our pouch, why not choose the healthiest and tastiest options? Wow, there are some really delicious recipes out there that are both nutritious and low carb/fat, etc. I'm going to still have cookouts, I'll just cook the "heavy fillers" for the guest and make sure I put in a couple of "healthy gourmet dishes" for us body conscious peeps. No need to suffer in our journey.

      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.
