I thought it was a great article and I think I will try it in my goal of learning basic Spanish. I started duolingo but quit after a few days.

However that is NOT how I changed food habits. Being sleeved was like a huge reset button and I had to rebuild from the liquid phase on up.

Very good article. I have downloaded duolingo and started learning Spanish. Let's see how long I can keep it up. :) Need to think about what other habits I might want to work on!

Thanks for the post!

Great article.

I did a lot of this pre-op when I was preparing for surgery. I focused on things like increasing Water consumption, exercise, and weaning myself off of carbonation and caffeine.

I also did the baby steps thing pre-op re eating habits (eating slower, chewing more, drinking Water, cutting down on caffeine, etc.) and it was so effective. Still do those things right today.

Also used the baby steps approach re ramping up my walking. Literally, "baby steps" will turn you into a daily walker!

And ;) I'm now taking morning French lessons with duolingo. :) Who knew that would be possible. :)

      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.
