Quit thinking negative thoughts,we have to reset our thoughts to yes I can& yes I will! I had same thought day before surgery &Indian 10 lbs in 5days & I will have stalls but won't get upset @myself &neither should you.

You will lose weight everyone does. Some faster then others but the weight comes off.

Of course you'll lose weight. Think positive thoughts. You'll do great. Follow your program. Don't obsess about the scale and ask for help when you need it. And don't get too caught up in the success stories posted here. Everyone is different. I've "only" lost about 70 pounds in almost eight months. But I feel awesome and am still losing and am very happy to say goodbye to those pounds and SO MANY inches.

I actually do thinking about that too. Or that I will not lose as much as I want.

When I hit my three week stall I thought to myself that this wasn't going to work but I've lost like 20lbs since then. It works I you work it.

I've only known one lady who doesn't appear to be losing weight. She only took a week off work after surgery and was eating fast food (hamburgers and fries and soda) after 2 weeks. YOU MUST DO WHAT YOUR SURGEON AND NUTRITIONIST TELL YOU. If you do, you will lose.

I think most of us had this thought at some point pre-op...but now I'm 5 months post op and can say yes it does work! As long as you follow the rules and use common sense you'll be fine :). Some lose fast, some lose slow, not everyone will be a size 2, but if we do as we're supposed to we will be healthier (which, really, isn't that the goal???). It's so much easier when you're not starving to death all the time. Eating a taco and being full instead of eating 3 tacos with Beans and rice and chips and still wanting more....it's absolutely amazing. Such a gift an amazing opportunity that we have been blessed with!

I had that fear at 1st. When I hit my 1st stall even tho I knew it was coming..it scared me. Nearly 3 months out now and I feel amazing and think its tho best thing I've done for myself!! I think we all have the worry and insecurity. I tell myself now it's in my hands cause I keep working harder with my exercise and religiously log everything I put in my mouth. I am slower than most perhaps but I think it's going great!!!

Im so excited and know it's gonna work but there's just that little fear that, what if it doesn't? But I'm sure in a few months I'll be telling others how well it works instead!

It doesn't sound possible to be full after eating so little. I keep thinking wow, that's all I get to eat later....I'm going to be starving. We'll see...2 days away...just getting nervous, I suppose.

      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.
