Hello everyone my name is Victoria had my surgery on 12/3/13 start weight was 270 current weight is 233. No complication no pain no vomiting just trying to follow everything by the book. I still an unable to intake the right amount of Water and still struggle with food. The beginning of this month I started to work out and feel great. Only thing is that everyone notices the result but I don't? Some people also say that my personality has changed not in a bad way buy not in a good way either? I think it may be me adjusting to everything. Not sure if anyone is going through the same thing?

Congrats on your new life change. Oh yes along with your new change everything else will change, friendships, relationships, and how you look at food.

When I woke up from my surgery it was my rebirth I was no longer who I use to be. prior to I was miserable, sad, angry, depressed and now I feel FREE.

people will notices changes before you do that's normal, what you experience during this journey is your new you awakening into something incredible...embrace the new you! I know alot of us have been trapped for so long and when this surgery used as a tool helped us, it released some things that no one can explain....

Take it day by day and enjoy all the things that come along:)

wishing you all the best!:) and welcome to the group you will find a lot of support, recipes, and friends that understand your journey...

It really is you will have ups and downs and victories and stalls and you will cry and laugh but you will change trust me for the better!

More important you will look at food differently. We still will have struggles but we are here for support to lean on one another

My only regret was not doing this sooner, but thank God I did:)

Hi and welcome!!! It's a learning curve that takes a bit of time but no doubt I'm sure u will get there with getting all the intake. It's truly does come with time, trial and error. As for others noticing and not you..I totally get it! The fact is we don't always readily have our brains acknowledge or catch up as fast. It's very helpful for me to look at pics. I started taking pics of my 1st few weeks then on my monthly date of surgery and I've made mini collages with apps and just putting them side by side was insane. Sometimes it took the picture to truly show me more where the baggy and saggy clothes didn't. It's exciting so hold on for the wild ride! Congrats on your surgery and weight loss! Welcome again!

Welcome ;) it's a emotional journey but worth it...everything changes with any changes you make...some are for the good ... We've been trapped so long by our former body and mentality that it's hard for us to catch up . Let alone our family and friends...don't be surprised if you lose some friends along the way ... We all are here for you ;)

      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.
