My surgery date was July 17, 2015.

I was lucky to meet another surgery candidate while at the NUT ed session the day before our surgeries, and we have kept in touch. She only lives 4 hours away from me.

Her journey has been quite different than mine, she went into cardiac arrest on Day 2 and was taken to ICU. Of course the hospital staff couldn't tell me and I was so worried. She stayed in the hospital 5 more days. Meanwhile I was frantically calling her house and leaving messages. When she finally called I was so happy to hear from her!!

She is a nurse so I really appreciate her advice about all things bariatric, and I mail her my larger clothes.

She is kicking my butt in terms of weight lost, I am doing better than she is with exercise.

She no longer has high blood pressure, I no longer have diabetes.

Its a very good connection, I am grateful.

JenyP,

My surgery went very well, I was off pain meds the first day, (except Tylenol for my caffeine withdrawal).

I am down 57 pounds, now. My waist measurement went from 44 to 36.

My bariatric buddy from Eau Claire who went thru at mayo Clinic the same day as I did, tells me she has lost more than 90 pounds.

They say we are all different, and I know she had some pretty scary issues with hers. She's much better now, and no longer has high blood pressure, but is experiencing some shoulder pain.

Me, type II diabetes is under control, and only yoga class makes me ache.

      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.
