So I'm excited to announce that the date has been set for my WLS. I'm excited...and though I wasn't scared a month ago, I think some hesitation has set in being that I've never had any type of surgery before. What are some tools that you used to assist with nervousness?

I know exactly how you feel. I just got my surgery date a couple of days ago. I will have gastric sleeve surgery on March 9. I start my pre opt diet on Monday, Feb 23. After several months of nutrition classes and other preperations I now know when my new life begins. I am excited and nervous. But there is no turning back for me. Just straight ahead, one day at a time.

Journal your reasons for getting the surgery.

Then make a wish list or, as I called mine, "I will..." of all the things you'll do when the weight comes off.

Look at my stats. If you could see your future self 11 months out I promise you, pure joy would replace fear!

Congrats and keep posting!!

      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.
