Congrats to you also! I am really excited and believe this will be a great answer. I am currently 199.6 lbs and my goal is to get to 140lbs. The biggest encouragement is hopefully getting away from all the medication I have been put on lately.

Good luck! The only advice I have is bring a pillow for the rive home, if you go over a bump you will have that to surround your stomach. Other then that get a good night's sleep and relax. Congrats on the start to a new and healthier you.

Hi, Best of luck to you. I'm sure you'll do fine. The only thing I can tell you is to make sure you have a loose pair of pants or sweats for the ride home. You'll be somewhat bloated as I was, so the important thing is comfort for your belly.

Well guys, tomorrow was the day one week ago today! I have to say I am doing well. Other then my belly being bruised ( I bruise easily) I already have the staples out and I am on to protien shakes:thumbup::) The only thing that has bothered me a little is the smell of some of those food I love....especially the smell of garlic cooking on anything! Good luck to all....it will be a great beginning!:huh2:

      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.
