My sister is an x ray tech. Tells me that she sees a lot of complications like, stomach ulcers, continuing vomiting, preparations, etc.? Is she being an alarmist and just is seeing these things and not the positives are is there a large amount of complications?

It is human nature to focus on the negative if that supports your internal dialog and perspective on issues. Think about it for a moment, the 5 o clock news or the daily paper is predominantly filled with the negative because that is what excites people. Rarely do people get excited over good news as it is too boring and does not make for good entertainment. With all that said, I do believe there is predominantly good in all things versus bad, but the bad seems to get the limelight, especially in a hospital unit where your sister works. The hospital is where people go when there is something very wrong with them. I guess it boils down to a bad conclusion from your sister because she has, statistically, a biased sample set of people (e.g. They are all "hurt" in some way) from which to draw conclusions from. Hope that makes a little sense.

Well said. I think if you hang around here Thomas you will read many wonderful success stories of lives being changed. My husband and I attended 10 years of seminars. We have heard stories for 10 years. We are happy and healthy and loving our new lives being sleeved. Good luck!

      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.
