I understand, I've been fat my whole life. It is weird thinking what it's gonna be like? My date is March 2nd and this month is flying by. I find myself wanting to eat and wanting sugar. I was fine during my 3 month diet. I lost 20 lbs no cravings but now I'm wanting to eat.

I'm also stressing over money and the house. I have to have to have 300 bucks to the doctor on the 12 this month.

You're not crazy for being scared! It's a normal thing to feel especially bc big changes are going to be happening to your body! Think of it as a new beginning. My surgery is tomorrow and it's now just starting to hit me that people are going to be viewing me in a different light because I won't be fat anymore.

I think I was scared until I was knocked out, but there were other emotions too. Confident that I was being taken care of, confident in my body's natural ability to heal and do what it needed to do, confident in my surgical team and family support. Some how the confidence outweighed the fear and I moved forward. I'm 3 weeks out and and still don't believe I did it! You'll do great.

      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.
