NotLookinBack

I'm in Harrisonburg Virginia..

Good luck all of the 8-6 sleevers.. Wishing you all smooth surgeries and speedy recoveries..

I don't start my liquid diet until next Tuesday.. But I am a creature of habit.. So I am starting to cut back meals and try different Protein drinks now so it's not such a shock to my body when I actually have to do it. I guess I was just looking for something other than the creamy chocolate ones.. I can't stand the vanilla ones..

I'm on the 27th too.. Welcome Leo.. Hope all goes well for you.. Where are you getting sleeved?

So I got a few bottles of Isopure.. Different flavors.. I tried the Alpine Punch.. It is not good.. Do you all have any good mixtures or ways to doctor it up so it isn't so gross?

Wishing you a smooth surgery and speedy recovery..

Good luck today to all the August 5th sleevers..

I feel the same way.. But I have found if I get to into everything like I was a few weeks ago (on this site ALL the time, constantly emailing the doctors and insurance, calling them to) I was extremely stressed out. I never allowed myself to decompress and think about other things.. Now that I have taken a breather (went on mini vacation and banned myself from the site for a week) I feel much better.. I now know everything will happen I just have to give it time.. Take care..

Lol.. In your post it says 2nd.. Lol

Welcome both of you.. I'm on the 27th as well.. Where are you both getting yours done at?

Congrats on the date.

Hey dee.. hope all went well for you and you are on your way to a speedy recovery. Take care and keep us posted.

Good to hear everything went well.. wishing you a speedy recovery. '

I have taken the word 'only' out of my vocabulary.. all to often I found myself saying "I have only lost two pounds" or "I only get to have a protien shake for dinner" I have realized that by saying 'only' it is making me not celebrate the small wins that I have.. because in the end two pounds is two pounds gone.. and in this process those small wins are the ones that I need to celebrate.

You are looking great!!

Chewable complete multi vitamin, 1000 mg of calcium citrate with vitamin D (split into two 500mg doses) and 500mcg of B12. I also take Biotin and Vitamin C.

Look at you.. hotty..

Congrats.. get it girl!!

It all depends on your doctor and your insurance.. everyone is different. I started in January with all of my appointments.. I have been seen by several doctors, my nut. Today I finally got my surgery date and it all depends if nothing comes back on the EDG.. (which I have my fingers and toes crossed that it doesn't) Best of luck to you!

You got it girl.. you will be in that dress before you know it!! Best of luck and hope to see that picture soon!

It's what you make it.. I don't know anything about the extra skin (yet).. I am still pre-op.. but the way that I see it.. I would rather have some saggy skin and live a longer healthier life with the ones thatI love than not get it and only be around for awhile. In the end it's your choice.. no one can pressure you or make you do something that you don't want to. You just have to decide what's best for you.. Best of luck!
