My surgeon is making me do the shots for 2 weeks, lovonox. To prevent what happened to you, go thing you cought it in time, nice work!

I forgot, my surgery is the 28th and blue cross is picking up the tab. Good luck to all of you !

Hello to all, this is what I did, take from this what you will and I'm not looking for a pat on the back! I just passing on what ive leaned from the other that have gone before me. . Once you have decided your going to have WLS why wait to start the changes? The sooner you start the better off you will be. There are so many changes that are required, starting with just these few I'm going to list but there is no reason to wait to make these changes. Soda diet or other NO more,Drinking with meals Water or anything NO more, chewing food until its mush a MUST for the rest of your life,5 min between bite well this one is hard as you are still eating full size meals but please try it a few times a week. Tracking food intake and Protein with a app of some sort I use my fittness pal this is a must for so many reasons, sipping water not gulping it 1oz at a time , not drinking 30 min before or after meals, Vitamins start taking something if you don't just to get in the habit, exercse start walking I'm up to 3 miles a day take 45 min. The things I've just listed are for the rest of your life. Here's what these changes did for me pre op, I've lost 50lbs in two months, my surgeon moved my date up one month and bumped someone else out of my way cuz they wernt doing what was needed. If you think this is easy to make so many changes that you have have a lifetime doing think again . Skinny out!

Very well said !

Well it's my turn, march 28th I'm joining the loser bench. Down 50 pre op I'm hitting the ground running ! Sent from my iPad using VST

Testing I think I'm doing this correctly

Gastric sleeve .com It a little different format I bounce back and forth.

Yes I read every last one of your post's, I'm glad I did, I have been reading daly for two and three hours a day on this site and one other for the past two months. I feel as informed as one could be without knowing first hand. I want to thank everyone of you for leading the way,your trail blazers and I truly thank you for making this life changing event possible for me. Without all of you Telling the story of your journey I could not make the disicion I have. It's the right choice for me. Surgery date early march.

Ok well it's jan 25, 2012 this thread was from July 2011. I'm doing it in march, but TAMz how do you feel now? You took a verbal beating though out this post. I'm so glad I found this thread from 7 months ago, how's everybody doing?

To The girl from costa Mesa , just a FYI the GNC in fountain valley has most of the isopure products, she carrys the pre mixed drinks in the bottle, and the powders, also the owner seams to have a clue. Just so you know it over on brookhurst and Ellis

Dude you rock I've been working on this for a short time now, I can't wait to join you! I have the same thoughts of myself that you did in your PAST life body. I can't wait for the ladies I'm going to kill it! Thanks for making my day, I'm going for a walk.

I couldn't agree more it's like the vet's lead the newbie's, then the newbies start to become vets ,and the cycle progresses forward. We all learn and get smarter together. The body's shrink, and the minds get stronger. Truly cool and awesome system!

Thanks for leading the way for the rest of us, this go's for all of you. You lead now then in a few months we start to be leaders and the cycle moves forward!

Well said I couldnt agree more!
