I'm 24 years old and I am one Appointment away from picking my date for my procedure. I am kind of afraid, but excited at the same time. This is my second time going thru the entire process. The first time I was so scared I back out, but this time I'm truly ready. I just need some advice and some encouraging words so I won't back out. I have major support from my family and friends, but just trying to prepare my mind is getting harder and harder. Thanks for your help.

@@Latoya1214 You can do this!!! I wish I had done it at your age - instead I waited until my weight sky rocketed to 300 lbs and I had hypertension, degenerative disc disease, sleep apnea, joint pain, and soon (I'm sure) diabetes. I wasted several years of my life and missed out on having children (PCOS). Get your health under control while you still have many more years ahead of you! Good luck and I look forward to seeing your journey continue!

I am in the same boat you are hun. I started 3 years ago but backed out. Now I am 31, got my last appointment in October before surgery. We can do it this time. We have to do it for our health.

      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.
