I am in Portersville, about 45 miles to the north of Pittsburgh. Just getting started on this journey, but I have a huge issue to conquer...I have a sever needle phobia... Don't know what to do to get past that.

I was also sleeved on 11/12/13 and am down 25 pounds. My weight loss has kind of stalled right now and I am a little frustrated. I feel like I am not doing something right. I also get very hungry

Wendyn I have those same feelings too and my weight loss has slowed dramatically but I just figure there is no way we won't lose weight given the amount we are eating. I think our bodies are adjusting to these low calories. I know my body was used to being well fed. This surgery works for so many people, I am just trying to be patient and enjoy the ride. Best of luck to you.

      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.
