Congrats Gelica and Happy Birthday! Don't feel sad about not celebrating your birthday with food or cake. You are starting a new and healthier life and that in itself is worth celebrating. There will be plenty of more birthdays that you can Celebrate. You did something amazing for yourself and a few months from now this will all be in the past.

My surgery is in 3 weeks and I can't wait!! I won't be able to eat food with my family on Christmas or have Vodka on New Year's but you know what, I've been there and done that plenty of years in the past. There will always be next year! :)

Why DON'T you get to celebrate?

Have a great time with your family and friends, and think about this: Food does not need to be the center of attention -- the reason for every celebration!

Celebrate!

I can probably count 2 or 3 times in my lifetime (44 years of age) where I can recollect the kind of cake that was served at an occasion.

Make memories of your celebration with your family and friends...not the cake & ice cream. That cake you were going to eat is going to last about 10 minutes and you won't remember it the next day.

I guess write now I being on Clear Liquids makes me feel like ehh. We always gone to my favorite place for dinner and drinks, but since I am still so tired and weak. I am not going anywhere. Husband even won't let me go anywhere alone cause he has had to catch me from falling cause my body got so weak.

      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.
