Yes I had my surgery on the 21st of August. In Montefiore so far I lost 20lbs the first week, I haven't weight myself after that. I don't own a scale and I don't really want to, because of the stress of seeing it and wanting to weight myself every day...the only reason I know I lost 20lbs is because I went to see my Dr.
I go again this week so I will know how much I've lost since.
I'm planning on joining planet fitness..I just don't want to go on my own but I have to do it.
How about you, did you have surgery yet? If not when?

I'm happy for you! How was this weeks been like? Almost 1 month surgeversary for you!! Did you join the gym? You need to start and later on you will love it. It happen to me, i hated going to the gym alone but I was like if I don't do it who is going to do it for me, no one so I got up one day and went and did that for like 6 months until I completely stop. Hopefully I am having surgery October or November the latest. I'm really hoping October though ;)

I am hoping for October but it seems like another thing is added to the list per specialist. I am getting a sleep study as per pulmonary which I was told in the beginning I didn't need it and now I do..... SMH And I asked in the beginning if it was part of my requirement was told everyone is different and no I did have to get one done. Would have had that done a long time ago. Last two appointments are my Pre-op from my medical provider and Nutritionist both the same day Oct 4th and I'm done God willing. I will be going to get surgery done at Mount Sinai @ St. Lukes. I was suppose to go to Montefiore but my first appointment would have been in October and would have to wait a long time for the surgery. TBH I just want to have surgery this year not next year because I want to start School in January.

      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.
