Just hoping this WLS helps



Recommended Posts

I have my 2-week post op appointment Thursday, and I've stepped on the scale a few times and kinda feel like I should've lost more. I'm supposed to be on strictly liquids, buuuuuuut I know I could've done better. I hope to hear good things on Thursday, but I know once I get back home that I'll make myself do better. Also!, I hope once I actually eat eat that I'm really restricted like most.

We all lose at different rates. Man? Woman? I'm 5'31/2". Was 201.5 on surgery date( 3/2/17). Plus I'm 66yo. My metabolism is in reverse!!! I've read where some people lost 30lbs first month. Well, that will not be me...I've lost 8lbs and I think I'm HOT!!! I've never lost this much on all the gazillion diets I''ve tried. This is a new tool and we have to be patient with it. Never mind what the other guy does, be thankful for YOUR pogress. You will be awesome

You got this. We all lose weight differently. I think 2 weeks post op I only lost like 6 pounds.

Our biggest fault is that we compare ourselves to others. Again so much comes into play. Gender, age, predisposition with medical issues you name it. I'm four weeks post op and down 20 pounds. I feel I'm eating nothing compared to my old lifestyle and want to the scale to reflect that. But I know it will come.

      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.
