Awesome you got your date a couple weeks after mine. We are nearly Sleeve twins LOL! I have also been preparing and found myself also very spiritually enveloped! My prayers will be with your on your day, please say a few for me as well on May 10th. I go do the testing on Friday this week. Nervous, yes...but ready.

Been gone for a bit, but plan on being here at least 3 times a week for research, support, encoragement, and just plain keeping in touch!

BIG DAY TOMORROW!!!!! See you all next on the SLEEVED SIDE! =)

Congrats on your pregnancy Tiff! I have been gone for awhile but am planning on being around more now.

DeeDee thanks for your comment on my blog. I will keep you all posted. Right now the big thing is getting my head in gear with what is to come. I know it isn't until May, but it means I have a chance to lose weight and get used to some pro-shakes, bars and other beginning foods. I thought about even making a few puree foods to see what I would like. Do you have any suggestions on what you liked?

Everything went well, until I got home and tried crushing my multivitamin. I threw up, something I tried very hard not to do. Oh well, I learned not to do that. I am down 4.5kgs this week already - like 10lbs!

Gonna start 2011 right.

Hey Barb, I so needed to hear you say that to me, because I have been debating this surgery this past week. I will be in Colorado from the 10th to the 29th of April. I am so excited!

Hey Barb, just wondering how you are doing? How goes the diet and weight loss? Holding you in my prayers. Rob

Hey Barb!! Nice pic =) I just got back to Norway and had a extremely busy schedule in Colorado. LOL...ya you heard me a schedule on vacation. I am SO SORRY I did not get to meet you. That would have made my day. I had nearly no internet action the whole time. I am going under the knife next Monday. Gonna post a blog or something about it. It is crunch time and I am both nervous and excited. I already feel myself looking at food different. Again...I am so so very sorry I did not get to meet you in Colorado. Maybe next year. As for that storm, I had to pick up my wife in all the hail and tornado warnings from DIA. Fun.

Hey Barb!! Yeah, it has been awhile since I updated here. I am doing good. I think I may be having difficulty getting enough in. I have to remember to eat. Weird LOL! I am down 50lbs since May. I am toning up and feel like I am doing good. The diabetes is GONE! Your pic is gorgeous!!

Hey Barbara, I am from Pueblo origionally. I have a brother that lives in Denver and a sister in Colorado Springs. My Dad worked on the high school in Monument. So cool to hear from a fellow Stater. Look forward to following your journey to a skinnier you. Good luck and good health!!

Hey Christie! I am doing well 1 week out. 13lbs down this week and I am finally getting in all my fluids. I am not timing my meals just yet, because I am trying to get the protein in as well LOL! I do get at least 5 in during my liquid stages in form of protein shakes and soups. I am getting stronger daily. Like I said, I wish you the absolute BEST!! See ya on the lesser side of you =D

Hey DeeDee, nice new pic =) Remember to post when you have put that final pound to rest. I am rooting for ya!!!

Hey DeeDee, thanks again for another resource. I look forward to checking it out today.

Hey Linda, it has been awhile since we chatted. How are things going? I am one week out now from surgery and feeling pretty good. Just stopping by to say HI!

Hey Linda. I was just reading your entry here for the 10th of January...happy belated birthday btw. I see you now include some "real" foods even snacks in your diet. I guess I was afraid to even think I could have that even a year after surgery. So many things consume my mind right now though. I guess that is normal.

Hey Loser, Happy Birthday!! And, Good luck on your surgery on Monday. I have til May to get prepared. Working hard on the mental aspect already. Not sure how limited you are really, today, I mean. But I hope that you can celebrate your birthday with a little taste of something you like. Good luck!

Hey man, welcome to the Forum. So, when was your surgery date? I see you have lost a lot already. I am now down 20lbs 2 weeks post op =D

Hey there friend =) How is everything going on your end?

Hey there, I am so so glad to hear you made it through all of it ok. I take Somac 20 mgs...curious if it will be crushable. I need to ask. HEY, I got my DATE...finally. LOL...I am so impatient. My Sleeve is on May 7th. About a week after I get back from my visit to the USA. Otherwise I am down in weight and eating a lot less and reducing introducing myself to various new foods hehe.

Hey there, was wondering what the protein powder you found was called? I will be visiting the USA in April and I thought about buying some supplies there so it isn't so costly. Here one protein drink(bottle) costs like 5 dollars. I think they said I could get 3 "meals" out of it.

Hey there! You got a pic up! YAY! I have only pictured you as a dancing doll =) I had gone up and down with this decision - especially this past week, but now I made my decision and am not backing down. My boss, who is an avid traininer, has been trying to sway me from getting it done, but she doesn't know all that I had gone through this past 5 years. I am looking forward to this surgery now, and am trying my best to prepare my head for it. Your words are kinda and encouraging. Thank you so so much! I am so glad that you are doing good!!

Hey there!! Thnaks for the friend request! How is it going?

Hey Tiff!!!! You look great in your pics!! WTG! I cannot wait to look so good =D Well, not in a dress HAHA! Anyway, just came by to say THANK YOU for being an AWESOME friend and support. Rob
