Recommended Posts

I'm 8 months post op! I feel great today!!

I've had so many struggles and haven't lost as much weight as I probably should have.. I got my band April 11th 2014.. My port flipped and I had to have it flipped back on June 30th 2014. Then just a few weeks ago. (December 2nd) I had hernia surgery! Everything seemed to be pulling me down!! I could go to the gym in those times after the surgeries. Having to wait 2-4 weeks before being able to work out again. I was so frustrated. I remember crying cause I just felt like "when will this give so I can loss they weight!" But I'm doing good now and will be going back to the gym after New Years! I'm happy to say I went from 317lbs down to 251lbs in this 8 months! I know it could be more but for all the crap I had to go through I think I'm doing ok!! I'm very proud of myself for the first time in years! Watching myself get into smaller jeans is thrilling!! I went from a size 26 Jean to a 18-20 Jean and from a 4-5XL shirt to a 2xl. I use to beat myself up about my numbers but I looked at myself today and could finally see that beautiful women in there!! Merry Christmas all!!

ChristineZ, Congrats on your journey!! Yes you have had a few hiccups along the way but you are still healthier than before. You are doing a TERRIFIC job and how you feel about yourself is all that matters. My surgery was May 27 and I too have had some struggles. We are all conquers of being overweight one day one step one hour one minute to becoming the diva/stud that has been trapped within us for years. Hugs to you and all of us for moving forward even when hiccups in life try to discourage press on and forward we continue.

      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.
