Anyone 5'9 and in the 270's i would love to see what that looks like all slim

When is ya surgery????

Oh ok.....i never knew how such of a decision this would be its crazy....i thought slim fast would be enough but i guess not looking at some of the packets Its.like 70 grams a day so i tried to find rhetorically highest one in protein either or ima start them tomorrow 2 shakes and a sensible dinner and see how that works just for practice before the doosy......im still trying to figure out how Ima do ten days of liquids only im slowing dying thinking about it lol

So today i came across myolex protein shake it has 42 grams of protein i wanted to start my intake just in case i don't stomach it well after being sleeved but i have taste it yet i was wondering if the chocolate is any good i heard good things about strawberry and vanilla but of course they didn't have those flavors so i got a 4pack to try...

No im hoping by to be sleeved by June they said it was up to me how fast the process went so i scheduled all my appt for this month ill be done everything required by may 22!!! I wasn't required to do nutrition classes thank goodness but Ima do them anyway on my own time just for the info....*fingerscrossed*

Oh ok shes very nice and and completely honest so far its been great:)

I never seen anyone on here this close to me I live in bristol pa but i will be sleeved by Dr medvetz she used to be in langhorne oa now she's in willingboro has anyone ever had her??? I did a lot of research but not not much came uo on her!!! Although from my own experience in just a short time she was very nice the whole staff was and very attentive quick but very thorough

Don't get discouraged a lot of ppl will do that to you its a shame sometimes its family.....my coworkers told me i was gonna die....straight like that :/ i don't know whether its jealousy or not but what i do kno is THIS IS FOR ME!!!!! I plan on working hard up until surgery and thereafter i will not let anyone get in my way!!!! THIS IS FOR YOU LADY DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE HATERS!!!!

Well ima just pray for the best.....but ur right it is a small price i won't get discouraged right now but.......i will probably die a couple times if and when i lose it

U look great go head girl!!!!!

This was what i needed to get motivated you all look awesome!!!!!!! Can't wait to smile when im looking bk at myself in the mirror i kinda stay away from the camera unless i can get a good angle lol ugh but u are all my inspiration

So everybody winds up losing their hair that stinks but at least i know now that way when it starts to happen ill be prepared i haven't even got a date yet but the more info i get the more nervous i am

Wow yes this what always happens i always have to get ivs in my hand then after a couple days it'll go bad and they have to stick my other hand to get blood then both my hands wind uo swelling up and neither hand is useful anymore im going to try and ask for a person with a good stick bc i really have bad experiences with getting blind drawn and getting iv fluids for overnight stays.....even anesthesia unless its a gas mask is difficult......i don't have anymore blood to give but my egd is the 8th n that will cause for anesthetic so i hope i don't have to be stuck over and over bc i hate it:(

Ok....congratz and that's good glad its coming bk im going to be a lil bit discouraged if u start losing my hair....

Lol oh man yea this is gonna be a journey of ups and downs but i hope not so much bad

Well i pray it get better for u guys and i really hope its not real bad but at least im prepared.....what about lose skin has anybody loss weight and didn't have the lose skin???

Man that's a scary feeling ugh

Aww man that stinks i guess i better get ready to get a crap ton of wigs:( ugh

Oh ok im so scared about that i started taking my vitamins and biotin and i take in a lot of protein in now hope it doesn't fall out i barely have none as is lol

Does everyone lose their hair after surgery im so worried bout this
