I know how you feel. Two days before, I wanted to scrap the whole thing, eat a dozen fried cheese sticks and sleep through the regret. I didn't and I'm so glad. I had surgery 10 days ago. It's hard and a little frustrating smelling food all the time but I've lost 20 pounds since the pre op diet (which I cheated on like three times) and I'm very glad I put my health first. :) good luck!

I never second guessed my decision to have surgery. I'd tried everything else. I'd lost weight and I'd re-gained weight. I needed this new tool in my tool box. If I'd kept doing what I'd always done (bingeing and dieting) I'd always have the same results. This was a last resort for me. I'd fought this battle for 55 years and even though I knew I would still always have to watch what I eat.. for me the choice was like antibuse for an alcoholic. I needed something to STOP the binge / volume eating. The good news is.... I may choose to eat a slice of pizza some time in the future.... but I'll never be able to eat the whole pie, and polish it off with a pint of Ben and Jerry's for dessert.

I'm the same. I never had trouble losing weight but I could never keep it off. I decided I needed the surgery if I was going to be healthy the next 20 or so years of my life. I'm 62. To be honest, I didn't want to live like this Amy more..,I'd rather be dead. Was sleeved 6-24, have lost 25 including the pre-op diet. I don't think it coming off vet fast. 20 came off before so only 5 lbs in 6 weeks. Yuk! Yesterday and today every time I ate or drank I had a terrible pain...like I needed to burp but couldn't. What's that mean?

Sheila, have you been eating and drinking slowly? I'm a fast eater. The doc told me to eat as slowly as possible to reduce discomfort after meals. Another habit to break!

      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.
