Hey there, so happy for you! And Luigi. You're going to be feeling great when that first chunk is off......good luck Thursday. Nervousness and excitement are very natural leading up to the big day. I found it all much easier than I thought it would be. And the result is amazing -- no more appetite monster on my back, all that chatter gone. I eat when I'm hungry and don't eat when I'm not hungry. Still love food, just in much smaller amounts at appropriate intervals. Still eat out, enjoy life and I am able to do so much more now. Best wishes to you for this new chapter in your life.

Congrats Mike! You can totally do it :) one of my goals is to be able to run around with my nephew (16 mths) and not get winded. Yesterday we played non-stop & was way more comfortable breathing than I have been over the past few weeks. Talk about motivation to keep on going!

Your health is critical to your true happiness. And you'll be an amazing example to your grandson on what you goals can accomplish when you stay focused & determined with your eyes on the prize - Bravo!!

Way to go Mike and congratulations on your surgery. We were all a bit nervous when the time finally rolled around, that is only natural. As for your Grandson..my motivation was my 2 grandchildren (a boy and a girl). I can get down on the floor and play with them now. We can go to the park and run and play. Before, I was just too FAT and did not care. You won't be skinny overnight and you didn't get fat overnight either..but you are going to be on your way to a new you and a new Grandpa that's for sure. Good luck in a couple of days and may your journey be filled with love and laughter and lots of time with that very special grandson. "You" are the best gift you could ever give to him.

      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.
