Surgery Is Thursday!!!



Recommended Posts

My surgery is Thursday and I'm so nervous about this journey in my life I'm starting....I have always been the fat sister, friend, co worker, wife, stepmother....without the weight who am I??? I dont know how to be skinny. I actually had a dream last night that I was getting prepped for surgery and before they put me under i freaked out and said.." i cant do this" :ohmy:and I jumped off the table and ran out....I just did my before pics which are in the album I just created and NOW I remember why I'm doing this...I'm flippin huge!! I cant believe I let myself get this big etc. But I am still nervous about who am I if not the fat person.:confused2:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Blessings to all

I SOOOO kwym!!! Not only how not to be the fat girl, but also how to deal with the fact that as we get thin, how to deal with the attention we'll be getting. (It's AMAZING...you stop being invisible when you're not fat anymore.)

      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.
