I am really starting to hate "the look." Let me describe and I'm sure many can relate, you see someone they know about surgery or heard whatever... And you smile HI! :) and it comes..... The complete UP & DOWN and back to eye contact before they respond hi. I find it a little uncomfortable. Im only 6 weeks out you can see a change but I'm still big and don't know your expectations to MY wls.

But everyone gives me the looks! Ugh!

I'm in the pre-op stage still...having surgery Wednesday 9/12!!!

But I "like" the look I get when I tell people I'm having surgery or they find out and come ask me; and I get that "concerned" big eye...is that really what you want to do look.

Really people...really?!? Lol

People that don't know what we have to go though just to get approved for WLS and how hard it is after surgery. To bad they can't live in our shoes for a week to see what it's like

      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.
