Recommended Posts

I'm finding my support system is still intact, but different they don't understand the mental, physical and sometimes emotional changes that come with having the gastric sleeve. So I need a buddy. Would prefer someone in AZ, but I'm open to anyone, female our male, Just need a sleeve buddy.

Not much, just dealing with so much! Are you excited? Are you on the liquid diet phase? How are you doing?

It's ok, it's life. My surgery was Aug 19, the pre-op diet was hard first couple days by the end it was ok. I've lost 35+lbs so far, not bad considering everything going on in my life.

Thanks! It's going well but lately my personal life is just taking a toll, family in the hospital, another my nana diagnosed with cancer. And no the emotional toll is crazy. It's a roller coaster and hard at times.

      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.
