Nanu

I would, but it's the weekend.

Anyone try EnergC powder? Feeling like I'm getting sick and trying to fight it off. It says it's a fizzy drink, but I mixed it and all the fizz went away

Feel like I'm back in Jr Hi.

Floridays, I'm with you. I am 5'5" and my dr wants me at 150, which is on the high level of the normal BMI for my height. I would like to be 135. But, I am 62 and don't want to look even older and drawn, so will have to see. It's hard for me to see how I really look. People will say not to lose any more, but I'm still 15 lbs from 150. Guess, to them, I look different and like I've lost a lot. So far, right at 50 lost, but not at normal BMI.

I found the adult version at CVS. I bought the generic and it works well. It 's just so darn sweet. Good luck, headaches are the worst.

I know Dr. Fox does do the sleeve, but I think True Results is a LB specialty surgery center. I also went to a dr. before I went to Dr. Fox and his staff pushed me toward the sleeve. I was scheduled for VSG and them cancelled. I hope all turns out well!!

I paid right at 10,000. (A bit less) for total surgery, which included 1 year aftercare (fills) and I didn't have to have any pre-testing and he put me on 2 wk South Beach diet prior to surgery. I didn't have to do psych or anything but visit with dietician. He repaired a hernia, which my insurance paid that part and he accepted it. Dr. Fox did mine. I like him very much. I thought you had already made your decision. I first visited another doctor that pushed me toward sleeve. I signed up, but chickened out. Am happy with my decision. Started at 213. Surgery 8/31. Current weight 166. Goal 150 for Dr. 135 for me. Best of luck.

Don't know who is doing your surgery, but I had mine done at TrueResults inRichardson and am very happy. Most doctors I researched in Dallas were all very competent. Good luck!

Oh, Shanna, so nice to hear a positive response about LB. so tiring to hear of the nay-sayers. Thank you, thank you!

Wisconsin cheese powder? Please tell me more!

Not that I remember, Chez. I always get alarmed, usually for no reason. Just don't want any issues with BettyBand. She's been so good to me.

Anyone know why the port area gets sore? I exercise, but that doesn't seem to have a correlation.

I've found that a shrimp cocktail fork works really well for me.

Why is it bad? If you are on solids and it fits into your calorie or volume allowance, it's fine. Of course you could have made a different choice, but don't beat yourself up. Monitor and adjust. It's a lifestyle, not a diet.

Thanks, Cheryl! I needed to hear that! The stress of feeling like you are a failure if you don 't exercise an hour+ a day is wearing on me. I'm afraid it's going to backfire.
