Wow that’s great. I never took measurements and now at a year out I wish I had at least taken pre op measurements.

Awesome!!! I'm new here. Any advice 😬🙏 thinking about getting the surgery. Hows the diet? How are you holding down food? ?

Hi. So first two weeks after surgery i was on a liquid only diet. (this varies greatly from surgeon to surgeon) Getting in the Protein was easy. the fluids are difficult. I started eating solid food yesterday and so far no problems at all. I have had eggs, tuna, Salmon, chili, ect... no issues at all.. Now it does take me about 45 minutes to a hour to finish a small 4oz serving. only thing that sucks about that is food gets cold.

I am actually feeling great. I am actually going to start riding my bicycle hopefully in the next couple weeks. Just gotta get it tuned up. I stopped riding over a year ago due to the weight gain and i was beyond the capacity of the bicycle lol. Sucked too because that bicycle was expensive lol.

I took measurements the night before surgery and haven't measured since. Now I am curious!

I wasn't really sure how often I had planned to measure. Probably every few months, I can already see a drastic change in face in my body when I am naked. haha

I even said to my wife the other day "It's kinda sad to be so fat that you can loose 70lbs and not one person even notice that you have lost weight".

Some people may have noticed and just not said anything. It is becoming less acceptable to say it because someone may be losing because of a medical issue or just uncomfortable with the attention of someone noticing.

I can understand that, but not even people who knew I had surgery.

In their defense, my clothes are so loose and too big that they really might not even be able to tell. haha

Like I mentioned, I only notice it in my face and when I am naked. 🤣🤣

I measured every Wednesday and it was one of my favourite pastimes back then, lol.

And yeah, nobody noticed (or at least didn’t say so out loud) until I lost about 50-60 lbs. Which was fine because soon after that everyone and their mother would say something or other Every. Single. Time. for the next few months. Which got pretty annoying.

Im 3.5 years out now, and me and my weight loss are now old news, thank goodness.

      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.
