I am ready to change my eating habits forever! I think the biggest challenge will be getting in the liquids, but after reading that post, I see another reason why it is so important. Thanks for the article.

I just ordered free samples from Chike Nutrition. They send a full serving sized packet of each of their 5 flavors. You just pay shipping.

I am using Dr. Kelly. His assistant (not a coordinator), Omar has been really great. They also fit me in on June 14th. I scheduled it May 27th - so it was a fast track. Here is the contact info: J.Ricardo-R.Kelly.M.D-FACS info@wlsclinic.com www.wlsclinic.com wls-clinic@hotmail.com Tel-Direct (619)793-4869 & (619)955-6771 Cell. (619)395-5347

I decided on Dr. Kelly in Mexico and scheduled it less than 3 weeks out. I was told you do not need a passport to go to Mexico, but need it to come back. StrangelyNormal sounds like she has inside info though! My surgery is $5500 including everything but the airfare.

I'll be with Dr. Kelly June 14th - maybe we will pass in the halls!

I am June 14th too!

June 14th for me - I found two other women here also on the same day. Someone (MinaT) started a June sleevers thread and she kept a log of everyone there - Maybe start a July one to find some buddies?

Welcome, I am pretty new around here too. It's a great support system, everyone is really helpful and kind. I am June 14th in Mexico.

Ditto! Congrats to our June 1st sleevers for getting us started! Hope you are all recovering nicely and we look forward to hearing from you!

I like wearing the workout tanks with the built in bras. The ones I have fit tight against the body, but not so tight as a compression garment. Do you think this would be comfortable post op, or would some that is loose and flowy be better?

I can really see it! Great job!

Glad to hear! I wish you continued good luck!

Well, that says it all - when were you able to drive? I mean short distances - 30 minutes or less.

The only person that knows is my husband. I am happy to have found this site for support. Also happy that I found 2 other people with my surgeon on my date! Am looking forward to meeting them on June 14th!

Online, I usually go to CalorieKing.com. They also have a software program you can try/buy. Also, there is a book. I am not 100% if fresh individual items are in there or if it is more geared toward fast food/chain type of restaurants. Here is the link for the book. http://www.amazon.com/CalorieKing-Calorie-Carbohydrate-Counter-2012/dp/1930448368/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338381830&sr=8-1

Another sleeve sister here for June 14th! I am having surgery with Dr. Kelly - also that day Finding Myself and Goofycathy.

I am scheduled for June 14th, but I ordered the Unjury Chicken Soup today to have for when I get home. What acid reducer are finding is helpful?

Yes, update! I scheduled my surgery for June 14th, maybe I should start one!

Thanks, Sharon! Glad to hear from someone with the same surgeon!

Where are the incisions? I am starting to pack and am trying to avoid things that will touch them.

That is great to hear - I just scheduled mine yesterday! I am so excited!

I haven't but my husband dreamt last night that Shane Victorino had the surgery with my surgeon (Dr. Kelly). He thought, well, if he is good enough for a professional baseball player, then I guess he is good enough for me!

Great job!

I just scheduled my surgery for June 14th yesterday! I must have a few things for the last time! Like this one sushi roll that will not be a part of my diet after. Also, I would love a risotto!

June 14th with Dr. Kelly - just scheduled!!!
