Hello everyone! My name is Morgan, I currently weigh 339lbs and started my weight loss journey back in January of this year. To be honest its been a lifetime journey....

I've always been the chubby friend in the group...the fat friend with the bubbly personality trying to cover up her lack of self worth. I lost 60 pounds back in 2008 and was below 300lbs. I, by some miracle, became pregnant. Unfortunately it was short lived and my first thing to turn to was food. I gained back the 60, plus another 30 since then.

Instead of focusing on my health all I wanted was to get pregnant. I was diagnosed with PCOS back in 2004 and thought that all I would have to do would be to go to a fertility specialist and they would fix it all.

After appointments, tests, poking and prodding I ended up gaining 10 pounds between appointments and it hit me then. I couldn't bring a life into this world living the way I was.

I had a coworker have the sleeve surgery last year around the holidays and decided that 2014 was going to be my year. I started this year, January 6th with my first information session at 375. So far after relearning how to eat and focusing on my caloric intake I'm down 36 pounds. I quit smoking a month ago, haven't drank any carbonated beverages in almost 2 months. I've also started going to zumba classes with my mom.. and I love it!!

I finally see the light at the end of this very long dark tunnel. 4 months and 4 days can't come fast enough!!!!

      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.
