If you're anything like me, you'll find a LOT to relate to in this new personal essay from the ever-fabulous author Roxane Gay about her decision to have weight loss surgery earlier this year: https://medium.com/s/unrulybodies/the-body-that-understands-what-fullness-is-f2e40c40cd75

Wow, thank you so much for posting this. I read her memoir "Hunger" last year, and it was brilliant. I love her writing, and she is so raw and open about her experience in a large body. This was an excellent article. I wish her 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...

        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.
