How do you feel about having doubts about getting the surgery, preop wise?

I reminded myself that it had been 18 years since I weighed under 200 pounds. No regrets!

My surgery is Monday and yes... I have had doubts. But I remind myself that is can not be worse than feeling poorly all the time. It can certainly not be worse to live longer. I remind myself that I am afraid of change. It's comfortable to remain the same but there is a reason I started down this path and I'm not turning back now. . I hope that helps.

Yea..thanks. As it becomes more possible, it also becomes more fighting. Tough to stay positive, and I really, really thank you all for your support.

My wife fell down a few nights back. Touch and go for a few hours, but she's gonna be OK. ,

When our own mortality slaps you in the face like that, you begin to question, and be afraid of everything.

I'm glad she is going to be ok. You are right about the slap...

But, such slaps can go 2 ways. They can make you afraid of the surgery, but they can also make you afraid to keep living the way you have been.

Each of us has only 1 life. We need to live it well...

      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.
