I'm 5 Days Post-Op!!!I I can't believe it's done - It's been such a whirlwind.

I had so many doubts up to the very last minute - I have no regrets now. It seems like it was all a little easier than I expected. (Thank G-d!)

For the months leading up to my surgery I read everything I could possibly find on the internet and on this site for hours everyday. It really helped me to know what to expect at every turn.

I also can't believe how much everything I did and was told to do before the surgery really mattered. Every Protein Powder I tested, every baby utensil I bought, the chap stick I brought to the hospital - each and every thing mattered and helped me come home to this new life.

The only thing that was hard to prepare for is the dramatic change in my life that I felt as soon as I was home from the hospital. It's daunting, but I'm digging deep to handle what this week, and the six 6 weeks in total, and everything thereafter will require.

I can't believe I have a sleeve!!!!!!

      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...

        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.
