I have been thinking a lot about the changes that we are all about to take and I know this is the best decision we are making because this means that we are making a difference for our self. Do not let nobody put you down or make u fell bad. A lot of changes are coming. ARE U PREPARE????

I am trying to prepare myself mentally. I still don't know what my family is going to think of me. I know my fiancé doesn't want me to get it. My sister doesn't feel like I need it and has reservations about me doing so, but ultimately my sister said the decision is mine to make and she'll support me with whatever choice I decide. I haven't told my mom/dad. I'm sure my dad will support, but my mom might have something "negative" to say about it.

I went through this process before and I ended up not going through with the surgery because of what people were saying about it and fear. All I kept hearing and sometimes still to this day "you're taking the easy way out, you don't need to do that you can do it on your own". Which led me to believe otherwise.

I am doing this for me and only me. I've tired so hard and for so long just to not be successful. This is my life to live and I am taking it back.

While this is my first time going through the process I have also gotten that same "easy way out" and in truth I struggle with the same feeling. But then you realize this process is not easy it is just a nudge in the right direction. It is still up to you to get your weight down and keep it off. So I would say I'm nervous and a bit scared but ready to take my life back for my obesity.

I made weight loss trackers today

I wish I was as fat as I was the first time I felt fat.

That is a really good idea. Very creative!

The last few weeks have been a bit frustrating, now things are going in the right direction. Talk to the Dr office this week , paperwork is submitted to insurance company now we wait for approval. Hoping to hear very quickly. I'm a little ocd and have to have everything in order before surgery, at home and in my office. I'm often asked if I'm excited, um no, nervous, scared. Just keeping my focus on being healthy.

Thanks! Congratulations to you too! My surgery got scheduled so fast I dont think its quite hit me yet. I only had to wait two days for insurance approval, so I am just trying to let it all sink in haha.

I am glad there are so many of us in September though, at least we are all going to be going through it together.

Thank you, I know right! My doctors office hasn't submitted my paperwork yet. They're going to submit it September 1st which is going to mark my 3 month supervised nurse visits and hope for the 13th. I hope to get an approval before the 13th.

      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...

        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.
