Good luck and blessings to you!

Congrats!!!

I think that you are not suppose to have nuts and seeds until you are about 6 wks. out because they can cause ulcers. You better check with your dietician just to be safe.

Try Chike and Syntax nectar. You can't taste the whey in the Chike but you can in the nectar, but it's tolerable.

I don't know what to say, your post made me cry. I have three children and I know that was hard on you and them. My husband and I both are waiting to be sleeved, and I pray that we won't have any complications. My children are not so happy with our choice to have the surgery they are 13,12 and 10. I keep second guessing myself and wondering if I am making the right decision.

Good luck and blessings to you.

Hi lovetennis the dietician at my Bariatric office told me that even if I am able to get to my goal weight before surgery that I can and should still have the surgery because I have been yo yo dieting for years.

Well Buffy pics really motivated me after I had my surgery to, so here are two pics for you. The first one was on May 16 at my daughters college graduation, I was 334 lbs, and the second pic is almost 3 months post op and down 75 lbs (85 lost now, but I haven't made a new pic) I'm 4 months out now and this is the best decision I have ever made! I hope this helps! Good luck on your journey!

You look amazing!

I sent all of you a friend request. I had to do the 6 month diet monitoring and will be finished with that at the end of January so I should have my sleeve in February. The waiting is driving me nuts.

Guelia1279 you can doctor up your shakes with sugar free syrups. I bought the Premeire Protein chocolate also and put one in the freezer it came out like icecream. I also mixed one with Decaf coffee and it wasn't to bad, and you can add Splenda . Check out this site for flavor drops that don't have added sweetener to them http://capellaflavordrops.com/flavordrops.aspx

Hi Marilyn unjury is pretty good. I just got so Chike samples today but I haven't tried them yet

Hi do you think Biotin taken by mouth makes you hungrier?

From what others have said it is the typical 3 wk stall.

Hi everyone make sure you check with your Bariatric Office. I was told 6 months and I just found out from my Bariatrics Office that the first appointment doesn't count because you haven't been monitored for that month. You actually need to be seen 7 times.
