How Freakin' Blessed Are We?!



Recommended Posts

I'm more of an observer in everyday life. Same goes for within this community. I'll read posts & comments & chime in when I feel it's beneficial or feel moved by something. Today, I am randomly overwhelmed by thankfulness & wanted to share. I am two & a half months out and down 56 pounds in total since starting the process. 56 f-ing pounds and I'm not even close to being finished.

I am so lucky to have been given this gift. You should feel so lucky too. I read a lot of negativity here. I understand this is a taxing thing both physically and emotionally but you have to be grateful! Look at where you started. Don't get down on yourself for not losing "fast enough" or having a cheat meal. Don't compare your experience to anyone else's!

The power of positivity is real, y'all!! You've got this. You get to have everything you've ever wanted! How exciting is that? Chins up & walk tall, kids. You freakin' rule.

I always wish more people understood that like with anything in life, in order to be successful you need to be in the right frame of mind. Whether it's sports we play, our careers, the way we handle stress, relationships, raising our kids or weight loss surgery, the power of positive thinking can go a long way and people who are more prone to staying positive I have found are more successful.

Nice post :)

How do you know that the sleeve is the right thing to do? I've had my doctor consult, met all requirements just need to get clearance on heart & kidney which I have appts for. I been through breast cancer with numerous surgeries. I'm a diabetic with one kidney. I have been so excited about it all. But 2 weeks ago I came down with pneumonia struggling to get ahold of this mess SO now I'm asking myself - IS it right for me?

      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.
