Hey Guys, need some advise



Recommended Posts

Hey fellas,

just came here yesterday wanted to bounce something off of you guys to see what everyone things.

As I said, I have completed all my prerequisites and my stuff has/or is being submitted by the surgeon's office to my insurance. I am confident that I will be approved. Last night I started having thoughts about putting the surgery off until after my wedding on 11/1. Summer has always been a very busy time for me, work, 2nd work, and socially. Plus I know I have stag parties being thrown for me and then ultimately my wedding. What do you guys think? I still really want this surgery, I just think that I can make more out of it after this wedding and it would overall work better for me.

Hey BB. I have to agree with Jack. Putting off until November seems to be a pretty long wait. I don't know about you, but with my appetite I could easily have put on 30 lbs in 7 months. You have the chance to lose a substantial amount (I'm a believer that guys lose a lot faster) instead.

Ultimately, it's your choice. Keep us posted, man.

So, let me get this straight: you're planning one of the most important days of your life, when your friends and family will gather from all over the place to Celebrate you, where there'll be hundreds - maybe thousands - of photographs taken of you that will be kept and treasured until after you've shuffled off to heaven, and you're thinking that you WANT to go into it morbidly obese?

That doesn't seem right to me. Take the step, lose the weight, and blow away all those people who haven't seen you for ages!

Think about this. Between now and your wedding.

You will be :eek:nervous:scared2:,:( excited:w00t: which all leads to gaining weight.

So lets say you'll probably gain - 20lbs.

Now me being a male like you. We loose weight faster than woman. In two month I lost now 40lbs.

Now plus you will have another month or so on the band, so lets say 10lbs.

So lets do the math -----20 + 40+ 10 = 70lbs.

That's the difference between waiting until after the wedding, compared to doing it now.

      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.
