StormWarning

I went to walmart last week to purchase Vitamins etc. While there, I noticed they sell New whey Protein bullets 42g. I bought watermelon and grape flavors which I have not tried yet. I love both flavors so I am really hoping I will not be disappointed although I'm pretty sure that stuff isn't gonna taste like normal things. I think all of these things are going to take some getting use to and patience on our parts. Afterall, we didn't get in our situations from drinking Protein shakes and shooting down bullets. I do not see these online for sell, but you may be able to find in your store. They also had a fruit punch flavor, and they even have other varieties, such as body fortress bullets.

Glad to hear you had such a wonderful experience. And congratulations on your surgery. I wish you all the best in your journey.

Well I am having mine in Mexico so its only costing me 8700. There are others in mexico cheaper but I am going to the doctor that I feel comfortable with, and I met personally. I chose Mexico at first cause I am a self pay without insurance. After my research, I became so comfortable with my doctor that even if I had insurance I would still be going to my doctor.

victoriatxgirl, you are going to do just fine. Stay focused and positive. By the way, if you are from where your name says, we are practically neighbors. Best of luck to you girl. I wish you a smooth and uneventful surgery. Keep us updated when you can.

Yes Ma'am it will be over very quickly, and then you will radiantly shine as your new self starts to emerge. Save me a seat on that bench. I want to be a Loser...lol

Danielle Beadle best of luck to you. I am sure everything will be fine and your surgery will go on as scheduled. Sometimes the liver shrinks without the weight loss. I have seen others mention this. I hope your surgery goes smoothly and your recovery is quick. Keep us updated. Stay positive.

tjloser. I see you are having surgery tomorrow, just wanted to wish you the best of luck. I hope you have a wonderful surgery and a speedy recovery.. BentleyJade . I am scheduled for surgery on August 6th, and I have to do a 14 day liquid diet. That scares the crap out of me, but something that is required so I have to do if I want to move forward in my plans.

ICandothis have you come across the august sleevers post yet? There is one where you can meet all August prospects, and you can get your surgery date put on the list that FutureSkinnyPants is keeping track of. If you haven't been there, stop by later if you get a chance and introduce yourself. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/38113-august-sleevers-where-yas-at/

Congrats on your surgery. You are one step closer to revealing the New You. Best wishes and best of luck on your journey.

WooHoo, Your looking great. All your hard work is paying off, keep rocking that sleeve.

Tomorrow is going to be great!! Just keep you mind focused and it will all be over before you know it. Remember that tomorrow is the beginning of the New You, Best of luck, prayers being sent. keep us updated.

Those staples look great. I know I haven't had VSG surgery yet, but I did however have an open hysterectomy 11 years ago. At first the staples are flush to the skin, but as your body heals and some of the swelling and inflammation leave, and the skin tightens back up, the staples will flush out some. On the other side, its nice to expect one can always laugh with your humor. The laughs make long days go by easier. Thanks.

Oh Patrick, that just made me giggle so hard. I really needed that good laugh. I am sure I will be looking at my pets the same way when that time comes. Keep up all your great work.

Anytime. She's not able to text me cause of the charges. I guess thats something I need to look into. I never thought about roaming, or if it will even apply to me. I need to check my carrier plan. I would hate to not be able to text my friends or get a huge bill because of my texting, Definitely something to check into.

Congratulations! You are doing an awesomely great job. Keep up all the hard work, You will make your goal soon.

So glad to hear that you are doing so well, It only proves further that we heal so much faster when we are in our own beds. I will have a two day stay, but my bed I will be thinking about. Keep up the great work,and I wish you the best of luck. I hope things keep moving smoothly.

So glad to hear from you. Congratulations on your surgery. You are going to do well. Remember all your hard work, will turn into a masterpiece very soon.

I am sure Sweetsusie will get on in due time, but I just thought I would update you all. I received a text from her saying that all was great. We were unable to text cause she is getting charged per text. She said surgery was a breeze and she has no pain at all. I will let her give the full details when she happens to get on. Just wanted you all to know how she was.

Welcome to the boards Rosebee. All the emotions you are experiencing are completely normal. Almost everything can relate to your feelings whether they had surgery yet or not. I thought I had a handle on my emotions until I went shopping for supplies for my surgery, and that put my nerves into overdrive. I haven't told many people myself. My mom was the least supportive and very negative when I told her. That almost crushed me to the point of backing out. My husband who is very supportive kept giving me the strength to move forward. My dad backs me 100% but is worried like any father would be. My Aunt also knows and supports me cause she knows how I have struggled. My best friend, gave me the honey, your not fat enough to have surgery speech. So you will come across those who will stand with you, and those who will stand in your way. To alleviate the that complication I have chosen to not tell anymore people til after my surgery. The negativity can wear a person down and make them weak and I choose to leave that part behind. I wish you all the best on your new journey of life. Any questions you have just hit people up, this is the most friendly, supportive boards I know of. Everyone is willing to share and help in any way they can.

www.unjury.com They have a chicken soup protein mix that you can use during your clear liquids phase. It will mix and suppose to taste just like chicken broth. I cannot vouch for taste as I havent sampled yet.

Congratulations on your success. It sounds like you have everything under control and ready to rock it. 83 lbs in 5 months is awesome. Keep up the hard work, and good luck reaching your ultimate goal for your cruise. You can do this. I can't wait to see what "Amazing" feels like again. Its been so many years. My time is on its way. Best wishes to you..
