I remember when I thought to myself "I don't need weight loss surgery, I'm going to try this special diet one more time, and I'll make it!"

I remember when I was worried that I would be the exception, the one who would get weight loss surgery and not lose weight.

I remember when I lost my first 30 pounds and thought "I still feel the same, I still think I look the same, and my clothes still fit. This isn't working!"

I remember when i felt that each pound I lost was going to be my last one, and I'd lose no more.

I remember when I wrote down my goal weight and thought "wow, as if! Oh well, good motivation at least..."

I remember when I would look at other people's post in Bea's challenges who were in the 150s, 140s, 130s, and feeling so behind.

Now, I still can't believe, I'm 5 lbs away from my impossible goal, I really did lose the weight, each pound I lost was not my last one, and I'm no longer doubtful of weight loss surgery not working for me (duhh lol)

Although I'm not yet at goal, I'm very happy, and I wanted to let all of you who currently feel the way I did, that you're going to make it, and you're not going to be the exception to weight loss surgery!

Thank you so much for sharing this....it's like you have been inside my head. Which I might add is not a safe place to be! Especially not alone, or without a flashlight! LOL I will add one more to your list....I thought that no surgery short of brain surgery would work for me. Thanks for your inspiration and Congrats!

      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.
