Yeah, you can totally make that happen. I will not say it will be over before you know it because damn it, it feels like forever, but you will get through this. Just take one day at a time. Don't obsess, and read as much as you can. Know what you are getting into, so you can rock that sleeve! Good luck.

Awesome! You look amazing!

Lol, congrats! Hope you hear an approval soon! Good luck!

Lol, congrats! Hope you hear an approval soon! Good luck!

Congrats to all you July ladies!

Awesome! Glad your surgery went well.

Good luck, I will keep you in my thoughts.

Lol, yeah it is a NSV! You are amazing.

Awesome, Tiffykins. You are looking fabulous!

Yeah, I love EAS brand. OMG, LilMissDiva you are brilliant. I will totally start adding a little protein powder to my drinks to add protein and keep down the carbs. That is brilliant.

I mean, not to be silly or anything, but I always questioned that or how else would RTD protein drinks work?

Looking good! You are such an inspiration Irene. Keep it up!

That's awesome. I can't even imagine being that low yet. Keep it up!

Wow, such a touching story and at least you have your wife to help you all the way through. Good luck on your journey.

Ah, that is something I have been thinking about talking to my PCP about. I don't want my gallbladder out either.

Good luck!

Oh wow, Aetna is really doing a number here. I hope you get it appealed this time. Just stay strong.

Lol, I am sure. I can't even imagine how uncomfortable the drain tube was. But congrats on a first good follow up. I hope there are many to come.

Can't you also use a pill crusher?

You are an amazing person, Meg, with an incredible resiliency and vitality. You are an inspiration. Thank you for posting a little about your story.

I am so sorry things are so rough for you. I do understand a little where you are coming from with hiding the surgery from your husband because I am hiding it from my father with whom I have insurance coverage. He would actually try to kick me off it if he knew what I was trying to do. I wish you all the luck you can get, and hope you stay strong in trying to get your surgery done.

That is awesome! I am so happy for you MeMeMEEE. I only have two more visits left and I am just getting ridiculously excited. It feels like it is so close yet so far.

Congrats! I am sure you must be so excited.

That is fantabulous! Congrats on blowing the weight loss away!

Welcome! I totally understand the lurking. I did it for a month, but becoming involved on the forum is so much more beneficial. Good luck on your journey!
