That was amazing! You are strong, and I know that you will succeed in your journey! Good luck today and always remember why you are doing this!

Congrats on your loss that is amazing progress!!

Q-tee, I just made a pretty good shake. It is the choc gnc whey protein mix and I added in 1 tbsp of peanut butter and 2 1/3 cups of ice and I must say it is pretty good. Yesterday I tried the vanilla and it wasn't that good in my opinion. Hope this helps!

I just downloaded the app on my Iphone for myfitnesspal, and it is amazing! Thank you for telling us about it. You can take your phone and scan a barcode and the nutrition information will pop up, it is the best!!! Thank you again!!

My date has changed! October 12th is the new date, I was kinda nervous to do it on a Friday not knowing if I really could go back on Monday. So I got approved to be off from Wednesday to Monday. Very excited, I won't start my preop diet until the 28th. I am testing some protein powders as I will have to drink two a day. The one I had this morning wasn't that great, it was vanilla whey protien from GNC, but I bought a sample of chocolate as well so I'll keep you updated on that one. Hope everyone has a great day!!! Oh and btw I live in the DFW area in Texas if anyone lives around here let me know.

Hello October bandsters, this is my first post on these forums. I have been wanting the surgery for about 6 years, but my insurance will not pay for it so I needed to save up the money for cash pay. I am happy to report that I got my date today and it is October 14! I am excited and can't wait to be a better me! I will start the pre-op diet sometime next week. I have all of my consult appointment for next week on the same day. I will meet the surgeon, see the dietitian, and then take the pre-op teaching class. I'll keep you guys updated! I'm so glad I found these forums, they have been a lot of help to me!! Thank you to all who have experienced this journey and shared it will us! Jess
