I was wondering if any of you were able to successfully visualize your thinner self before you had the surgery or soon after surgery? 1 week pre-op and I'm struggling with what my slimmer body will look and feel like.

well at work we have this curved front pop machine, and it makes me look a lot thinner, I go and stand there sometimes ;-)

but I could not imagine how much my life would change for the better long before my appearance drastically changed.

I have an extremely hard time with this. I have been overweight since I was eight years old, so I have absolutely no clue what I will look like. The best guess I have is that I will look similar to my mom.

I've always believed that if you can see it, you can be it - so I'm rattled that some days I have trouble seeing it.

One of the reasons that I had the surgery was because I had this in inner experience, this inner unfolding. It was something my subconscious may just for me. I saw myself thin, wearing red, dancing ecstatically near a smoking bonfire. I could feel my own joy. I could feel my own liberation. It was and I was, glorious! This help give me the courage to do what was necessary.

      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.
