Just had surgery dec 31st and I don't feel bad but a little confused I have so many questions running through my mind. Some things are like I wish I never did it and should I get it reversed. Will I have to be like this forever. I started this journey weighing 410 I'm 347 now before surgery but I feel so down and lost. Any advice or ideas please let me know thanks

There are a lot of hormonal changes as a result of having a major surgery. This is not at all unusual, you will start to feel better. One of the things that helped me was to get moving. I started walking on day 3, just one lap at first but it really helped me feel better. I am 2 1/2 months out now and up up to 5 miles. Good luck and let us know how you are doing!

Everyone goes through those feelings of "remorse" at first. It does go away and eventually turns into "why didn't I do this sooner?"!! Take this step by step and make the most of it. And enjoy the journey! Even the bad days.

You'll be great--best of luck.

I am three weeks post-op. My sister did this a year and a half ago and she has been my mentor. My experience is that there are going to be down days when you question your decision. It seems to be part of the journey. I can only go by what my sister has experienced and she says that this is the best thing she has ever done. One day maybe you and I can say the same.

      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.
