  1. Awesome job...you look fantastic!!!
  2. I have been stocking up on my protein powders..I am in love with "Unjury.com" Their chicken soup protein powder is the best..I just had one & want another...doesn't have the smell of other protein drinks. Nice to drink a hot "protein" drink on this chilly day.. You can add anything to it for more protein!!...They just came out with cheese sauce that I want to try...
  3. November 19....Portsmouth, New Hampshire...
  4. I did the same exact thing...Started all this in March....couldn't get the friggin 10 lbs off...quit smoking in June..finally I got 9 lbs off & they scheduled me for Nov 19th...but now I have gained 4 lbs & I have the 2 week pre-op on Nov 4th & after 4 months of not smoking, I picked 1 up 2 weeks ago & didn't stop until last night..back on the patch!! not easy...wish you luck
  5. have you had blood work drawn for nicotine yet? I had to, 2 months after I quit though...I quit on June 15th ....Oct 11th I smoked after 4 months...Ugggg.....continued til today..no cigs today...my surgery is Nov 19...everything is done except the pre-op talk with the nurse on the 4th...I can't give up the diet cokes yet..don't drink coffee....I have gained back 4 lbs which has to come off too!!! Oh boy...I need this over with too...I feel you pain..
  6. Mine is at Portsmouth regional in NH...on November 19th..
  7. Im a november girl & a November sleever..November 19...33 more days..
  8. I have harvard pilgram..my turn around was 4 days..my bmi is the same but I have high bp too..mine got approved..
  9. Congrats...When did you start?? You got a quick date..I started everything in March & finally got a Nov 19th date, got that date a month ago, it seems like its taking forever...and to take weight off now is killing me..
  10. Wohooooo...congrats..wish you the best....I have 35 more days..
  11. I had to quit smoking or they wouldn't even look at me...I've been smoke free since June 15th & my surgery is Nov 19th...I was blood tested twice for nicotine...so you can't even use the patch or e-cigs..no nicotine....something to do with blood clots...its bad for you anyways & expensive...I smoked for 43 years...And yes to no soda either...carbonation will stretch your belly..Good Luck
  12. Its been a long time since I looked a a baby food jar..I was curious...is it any good for a "pureed food". Would those little tiny jars would be good right after surgery??
  13. That could be good for me...I am 1 great big continuous hot flash!!!
  14. Im like u...I started this in march at 217 lbs & im 5'5..now I am 206 only because I haven't been trying that hard. My surgery date is nov 19th...have 51 more days...so say I got down to 180 in the next 2 months (which I'd love)...then have my surgery..is it possible to get to thin??
  15. Thank you so much...Very helpful....I need to save this for myself..Surgery 11-19....I have bought a few things...I really do like the Unjury & did get packets...but did get a couple of containers of the Chicken soup...even if I don't like it later on, I can mix it in with something else....
  16. Got my date...November 19th....1 week before my 57th birthday..I would say this is a very nice gift...
  17. Its official...November 19th...so far, yet so close....1 more appt with surgeon 2 weeks before then a little blood work & I am done!!! A lone haul since March....
  18. No one ever said anything to me about caffeine..hmmm....I don't drink coffee at all..they said I have to give up the diet coke because of the carbonation & expanding the belly...I still have caffeine....I drink those little squeeze liquid enhancers...I squit it into my water...its called Energy with 60 mgs per serving..keeps me going...& no bloat..
