Ok I went to my first support group and as the night went on the group leader asked a new post op how much she hadReduced a little later another newbie asked why she asked that q in that way instead of asking how much she Lost. The answer was enlightening.

Since we are trying to change ingrained habits behavior modification if you will. Saying you Lost something has the connotation that you would want to Find that something. So she trys to use words that don't have that verbal cue like reduced or eliminated. Those words don't have us looking for the pounds. Interesting huh?

I think the point was that when you say I lost xx pounds semantically it means some where sometime you want to find those pounds and put em back on and no way in hades do I want to find the fat I am going to ELIMINATE OBLITERATE get rid of for the heck ever!

      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.
