jaded

Thanks so much! The sweet stuff was just too much to take!

Does anyone know of a protein powder that I can put in chicken or beef broth? Do they make anything like that? All these sweet shakes and drinks are making me nauseous!!!

We are not looking for cheaper, we are looking for closer to home. I know seminars are good but I have been there and done TONS of research. But I think I'm sticking with my original choice.

I have not received my surgery date yet, but have finished all the major steps. I have had consultations with the surgeon, dietician, psychologist and finance dept. Now that I feel like I am so close, my husband wants me to "shop around". I know we won't find anywhere less expensive but he wants to see if there is somewhere closer to home. We live in the Lubbock area. My problem is when I try to find a surgeon getting information is like pulling teeth! All they want to do is schedule you for more seminars. Why can't there be an easier way to get the info I need?! Anyone in Texas have any recommendations or info on surgeons in my area? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Mine was quick and simple. Mostly I admitted that my overeating was no one's fault but my own and that I knew that my ability to succeed was based on me and not those around me. They do want to make sure you have a good support system, though. I can only speak for myself, but it was quick and painless for me. I hope it goes well, and if you cry, oh well!!! It's healthy and sometimes you just have to let it out! Good luck!

As the best friend of someone who had WLS let me say without judgement or negativity, your friend may be scared and jealous. She is overweight, too. She may feel like if your weight loss surgery is successful, she may lose you. I know I was and still am jealous of my best friend but that hasn't stopped me from being supportive and happy for her. I need to work on getting myself to where I need to be and realize that my hurt feelings are no ones fault but my own. I may be wrrong about your friend, but it's just another perspective.
