Hello... I'm new to BP. Thought I was 100% certain about having surgery (sleeve), but I keep thinking "Am I REALLY doing this?!?!" Have done all evals, except for meeting w/nutritionist. question. Am I normal? Is it normal to be overly certain one day then not the next? Truth is I fear complications but as my hubby said, I could have a heart attack, etc. due to the weight I'm carrying, HBP, diabetes, etc. Thanks for "listening."

From what I've learned on this site, it's totally normal to think one day, "It's a good idea," and "What the heck am I thinking!" the next. I also have diabetes, and also sleep apnea. My doctor told me this weight would take 10 years off my life. Whoa! That's a LOT of time! I don't want to miss so much or have my kids miss me so much for so long.

I went through this too until I had my ekg a couple weeks ago. It showed that I have an enlarged heart due to my weight. That was it right there. ... no more second guessing. I have to have this surgery because my fat is slowly killing me.

I'm in Texas. No date yet. I'm wondering when the doctor will set one.

I'm in Lawton ok and my surgery date is 12 may and i have had my doubts, but then I look at my chest from heart surgery and the doubt goes away.

      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.
