So far so good all I have left is my cardiologist and pulmonologist appointments left then its a matter of waiting for GHI so hopefully my surgery should be somewhere in late october yeah just in time for the Holidays! My Bariatric surgeon did mention I might have to take stomach meds along with my plavix so I dont get an ulcer down the road i dont know how I feel about this yet. Thanks Missy hope all is well with you.

Um, well the hubby and kids were pretty amazing too,but I mean the best thing I've done for ME. :D No regrets, i had a very easy time,easy recovery,etc. I really commend you on your choice and wish you all the best!!

If you want something that will make you suffer rny is the way to go. If I take just 1 more bite of food I vomit. If I have high sugar of anything I have dumping. I love it! Not the dumping or vomiting but what happens to me cuz it keeps me focus & I rarely repeat my self. Once I know it didn't agree I try to stay away if no sugar free subtitude or I don't eat oily greasy food I would get so sick.

3 years ago i was slammed with fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis which left me jobless ( i had 3 ) and no energy ro go grocery shopping.

I am 2 1/2 weeks postop and the energy i have is amazing. I spent 4 hours cleaning for graduation and I feel amazing.

If you knew how good i feel and if i only had to add an extra pill it is soooo worth it.

I feel sexy and skinnier and i loved to eat but trading my love of food for a healthy body and prolonging my knee replacement is worth it.

If you take blood pressure, diabetes or cholesterol meds you can kiss them good bye.

Your gift of health is the best gift they could get for christmas.

Just saying.

Missy

Hello.

Again just checking in on you and how the process is going. To see if you have started to collect any items for surgery.

      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.
