Thanks for the advice! Good to know.

I agree! I think its the overly sweet that is really messing me up. I need to go get some broth. I keep forgetting about that.

Hey gang! Just curious if anyone has already had to start their Pre-Op diet. How is it going? Thoughts? What do you like best (Product)? What do you hate? I'm about two weeks out til surgery, and so I started yesterday. A little early, but what can it hurt? Well....the shakes have been making me barf. That's what hurts. I wake up queazy in the morning, and its down hill from there. Sooo...I have a call in to the Nut to see what's up with all that. flavored water is doing me some good and helping with the blahs. I hope everyone else is faring better than me.

Good to hear! I have my tests on the 4th then sleeve et al on the 5th.

How did everything go?? Still on for the 5th?

YAY! You're in June too! Just a side note, to PM another person, on a computer, you click on their profile and there is a Private Message button. You can also click on the little envelope at the top of the screen to go to your messages, and start a message from there if you know the person's user name. As for using a mobile device, I am not sure. lol.

Y'all are great. Thanks for listening to our rants and raves. Im loving being part of this site.

HAPPY DANCE! Congratulations!

I can respect the request...however, wouldn't it be easier to make it , in a way, a CLOSED group? Instead, it shows up on my NEW CONTENT feed, and so I may accidentally answer a question not realizing or checking where it is posted. A lot of people on here are way more braver than I am, because I know that whatever I ask, it will show up on the New Content list for all to see. So, yeah, it would be nice if I knew that my powder Room posts were just going to be seen by women members. just saying. Thanks!

WHAAAA????? As long as you aren't hurting, GO FOR IT!! At least that is what others will say. Some docs will tell you to wait three months, others will say a week. Don't do anything crazy, but enjoy it.

I have been wondering that too. I would LOVE to have my mocha Monster. It may be a while, but I will ask my Nut what she thinks. I will try and get back as soon as I have a responce!

How wonderful! Great news!

I have my accounts linked, but I am not seeing any of the fitbit data on my MFP records. I dont get it.

Hooray! I am June 5th!

Donna, Will you be my friend? lol. Thanks for posting all that. I wasn't sure what all it was for either. Just knew I have to take it.

Yes, here it is: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/forum/80-the-clothing-exchange/ Some times these forums are hard to find! LOL! I am interested, sending you an e-mail now. THANK!!

Why is there no way to access our Social Groups using the apps? Will we ever be able to?? Sure would be great! Please and thank you, Museum-mama

I was asked once, and I was lighter then than I am now! Although I felt bad inside, I had a hard time being angry at the sweet lady. I often think that I look it now. I have a LOT of stomach weight, and not much boobage. So I end up wearing the "babydoll" style blouses often. (Thanks, Lane Bryant, for not carrying anything else more flattering. ) I just try and avoid seeing myself in the mirror now.

Most likely, but INHO, it doesn't hurt to start taking them. B-12 is gret for energy, and can take 2-4 weeks to start feeling the effects. When in doubt, call your doc!

WELCOME TO THE JUNE CLUB!! Congratulations!

@babybearsmum, thanks for introducing yourself! Looking forward to getting to know all of you as we lose together!

Oops...getting sleeved in Dallas. Apparently I dont know where I am going. :/

Im up in Waco, getting sleeved in June in Waco!

Unfortunately, you cannot get to the Social Groups using the app. You can access the June 2013 VSG Support Group FOrum by clicking on the FORUM tab, then scrolling down til you see Monthly VSG Support Groups. This is sort of the same thing, but in the Social Group in Community, we have the ability to mass message each other and such. I hope they add a Groups button to the app at some point. Would be nice. HINT HINT to the admins lurking. lol.

For anyone with a June 2013 surgery date, we have a social group! Hover over COMMUNITY up there at the top of the website screen, then click on SOCIAL GROUPS. On the top right, there is a big black button that says JOIN GROUP. Others have resported problems joining. I assure you this is an OPEN group to join. No need to be approved. If for some reason you cannot join, please let me know on this thread, and I will send you an invite to join. Those of you who have joined, please invite any others that may not know about the group yet. next week, I am hoping to hunt down other June peoples...thanks to our mighty friend that made the list of dates for the month! Thank you, and so sorry for those of you who are having issues with the joining process. I'm working on it!!! Museum-Mama
