Hello Everyone, this is a report for the diabetes people. So before my surgery I had a hb A1c of 10.2 % and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to have the surgery at all because my sugars ran around 290 everyday and so I am proud to announce that my sugars run around 100 or less now and my hb A1c is 5.2%. Praise the Lord, I never took another metformin once I left the hospital on my surgery day. I went down from 278 to 207 in 6 months. I have had alot of plateus but I am making it. I am so proud of all of us that went this route of trying something to help us out health wise. Alot of people ask why did I have the surgery since I seemed so happy with my weight, Well being happy in your skin is one thing but no one is happy with DIABETES eating away at their insides. I didn't aim to be super skinny but to be super healthy. I am so glad that I can eat fruit again without my sugar running up to 300. I feel free. I would like to loose maybe another 20 pounds in the next 6 months. The dietitian and nurse at the surgeons office said that I am right on track. Good luck to all of you! I will post pictures later today

      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.
