What makes someone a veteran?

I love this post. I am 1 year and two months post-op. My doctor told me I have lost the expected amount from the sleeve (125lbs) the rest if up to me. My goal is 200lbs so I have 75 more pounds, I find myself strying. I bounce between the same 5 pounds.

Basically I will always be a work in progress and I'm okay with that.

Cool, I'm a vet! I'm 14 months out and have lost 40kg or 88lbs. My hair is still thin although it is growing back in Patches, and I'vefallen off the wagon somewhat recently- been going through some hectic emotional family stuff and NOT eating how I should. However, I've not put on- just stayed the same. I need to lose about 10 more kgs to be at my desired goal, and I really think I'll do it. I'm exercising which is good but finding it hard to channel the emotional stuff into non- food based outlets just at the moment. Anyone else battling a bit like me?

Welcome! Me too. I just make sure I write everything down... keep track, and plan Snacks and desert, as this keeps me from eating the unplanned snack or desert! Good work, keep it up!

      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.
