I am moving in July I pray I get the key on the 6th I want to go in clean the kitchen and bathroom and begin moving. It will be a mad dash to get it done. I'm lucky that I'm in the same complex but its moving just the same. I have pre-op testing on my mind, having thoughts that they will find something and postpone surgery. But I have to keep pushing on. Hope things work out for you both.

If it continues call your doctor.

Try, try, try again. We all have fallen off the wagon but I like the ride so I get back on. Hang in there. Keep moving forward!

Its the next to the last day in June. Come Monday it will be July! The count down begins. Wednesday is pre-op testing. The 22nd is Sleeve day! Ready: Since 2004 I've been ready to do something about my weight and have been trying hard to get it together. This decision is the best on for me. So I'm ready! Set: the surgery date is set, pre-op testing date is set, mindset is right, life style is going to settle into one that will allow me to set loose the wild child I am. I can go and fit into places, do things I've been to embarrassed to do because of my size, I get it live! Go! Moving forward to a healthier life, long life God willing. I'm so happy I could cry at times. Its the strength I have found in making the changes. I stopped eating bread, I stopped drinking coffee and tea, I do have decafe around but have not touched it. I've never smoked. I've cleaned out my cabinets of foods I know I must avoid, it's nice being able to give the food stuffs to people that can use it. I've donated clothes that I know I can't wear, won't wear and shouldn't wear lol. I'll spend today packing, I'm moving next weekend into a new apartment. So July is truly a new me month. I admit, I'm getting nervous. But my sister that is supporting me in my decision is coming to visit, it will be nice to have family going in and coming out of this procedure. Thank you to everyone that posts and comments on this site, pro or con. The experiences shared have helped a lot. Continued success to everyone on their journeys. Karen

I'm with you on that. I want to be around for a bit longer. I have two grand-nephews, and want to rip and run with them. Lol

Hi, I have one sister that supports me along with a niece then I have one sister that think I should just go on a diet. Right! I haven told a lot of people one good friend knows and they live in Detroit. But we talk a lot. She has the lap band. So that common thread of having a procedure to loose weight helps. I have one week until I begin my pre-op liquid diet. July 22 is just around the corner! I suggest going to support groups in your area. I did and plan to continue. We will have to encourage each other, glad your husband is supporting you. It's an exciting time! Karen

Sweet. I may need to go look at my local store.

Oh! At my gym we call it turbo kick. Got ya. I love it. My favorite class now is kettle bells. My abs are killing me. With surgery and weight loss I will one day see them my 6 pack LOL.

I can't wait to sport my new hot bod in VS.

You look wonderful!

Vent away we are here for you!

Welcome! Enjoy the site there is a lot of information here. I'm a big fan of nectar products. Just found a site for all of the liquid supplements and vitamins. Www.drugstore.com. The products are made by wellesse.

Wonderful congrats to you both!!

Call doctor, if they aren't there go to the ER. Better to be safe than sorry. Keep us posted.

I start my pre-surgery liquid diet in the 8th of July, so I did a test drive of the Protein shakes I purchased and of those I like I have plenty on board and ready.

That's wonderful! All the best on your continued success.

I'm planning to take 3 weeks off, the first to weeks to adjust and the other to vacation wtih family if all goes well.

What's Turbo Jam?

I know! Snap, Crackle, Pop!!!!!!

I drink water all day long, so much so my eyes float. LOL But I will keep it up, once I'm post-op I know I need it. I plan to check you the site you shared Neuanfang. Thanks!

Yesterday was my day, I was on point with my inner skinny girl. I found a dress that did not cling to all of my rolls, it just fell across the body. Not to brag but I looked good, I even rocked my 4 inch sandals! I received so many complements, all the while I as thinking, "Wait til ya see m 100 pounds lighter". To have been successful in keeping the 25 pounds I lost off and working successfully to have more off with weekly excerise classes has been a blessing. Mind you I have no desire to wear skinny girl jeans, but I am looking forward to adjusting my wardrobe. I striveto have a day like yesterday once a week, especially since my clothes are fitting better it should work. Continued success to everyone on this journey. Karen

This was great information! I am getting nervous but so excited on taking this journey. A friend of mine that had the VGS done a year ago has been wonderful in giving me information and advise. They suggested that if I wanted to get my supplements in liquid form to go to www.drugstore.com and to look for products under the brand of Wellesse. I did look and they have B-12, Iron, Multivitiamin, Vitamin D3 in liquid form. The costs, are rather low as well. Once the supplies I have purchased run low I consider ordering from them what I need. But knowing myself I will shop around for the best product and bargin. Lol.
