Should tell you at your class to start the following day. That's what mine does. April

Like 1DAY said, happy valentines day to you!!! Congrats on making the choice for a happier, healthier you!!! April

All you really need are thigh high red boots with a 4 inch heel and a whip. With that you could wear a burlap sack and be sexy.

Well.... I'm gonna have some deep dish pizza and There is an Italian restaurant here than makes a lasagna with an alla panna sauce. I'm gonna have it. Other than those two I'm done. I've actually been really smily and excited today. When I start thinking about getting that IV I just picture myself sliding in a booth easily, not having to pull the seatbelt waaaay out to get it around me to buckle, shaving without holding my breath, not feeling the car dip way down when I go to get in my seat.... You know, stuff like that. Lol How about you? Any goodbye foods??

Wow. I already have National Geographic boobs that, when unleashed, point straight down. And I'm pre-op....

Keep in mind there are LOTS of mushies that you can mix unflavored Protein into to meet his protein goals. One of the best is by

I laughed too much at this!!!

Sarah, you're gonna breeze through the psych appt just like you did the scope! Ain't nothin stopping us. Lol

Legally, no. You do not. It's even against the law for him to pressure you for the details.

Wow! What an eye opener

Definitely share your list. I don't wanna miss anything. I've made lists and feel only slightly prepared. Lol April

Hanging in there. I'm super excited one minute and scared the next, but all in all really excited more than anything. I've been on here trying to learn as much as I can before the big day. How about you? April

Exactly like mine, except you could have the packet mailed to you and do your seminar online if you need to. April

That is exactly how I feel. Exactly. I try every night to wear it and can't. As for a letter of compliance, they haven't asked for one yet and if they do they aren't getting it. I sleep worse with it. Mines also on 14. I can't do it. It smothers me and I gasp and gulp air in when I finally rip it off.

Congrats!!! It's very inspirational to read!! Also, like SIS said above, it sounds like gallbladder acting up. Best wishes, April

Love muscle milk. Especially the strawberry!!

Be sure and keep us informed of how you're doing and we'll be here to cheer you on.

Hi you. I am just saying what she told me. That the amt of protein absorbed was deceiving. You don't absorb whatever percentage is from protein collagen. Keep in mind that ingredients are listed in the order of highest percentage included to lowest. On those shots protein collagen is usually listed as the first or second protein source, which means they can be 75% of the protein source, and won't be absorbed efficiently. Of course my nut is so dang strict....

Same as above with Medicare as primary. But my weightloss clinic had their won criteria as well, so definitely ask. April

I had lots of food funerals. I'm down 18 pounds and would've been down more had I not, but I'm glad I did. I wasn't out of control. I'd make a conscious decision to have certain things so I did. I know you CAN eat whatever you want after a while, but I don't want to. When I say goodbye to certain things I want it to mean goodbye. For good. My surgery is February 18 and I've already cut out a lot of what I'm supposed to, getting my head on straight. April

My nut said not to use the shots that they are collagen, which isn't absorbed efficiently. I have read somewhere that there is a really high quality shot that you can order online that aren't. Look on the label for collagen. If it's on there, then it's practically worthless.

did u post this on the correct thread?

Yeah. I get to feeling that way too. But then I think of all of the reasons I need to do the surgery and it keeps me going. I have spinal problems and need this pressure off my spine and joints. Also have sleep apnea and high bp. This surgery is gonna be a lifesaver. April.

Nope. With a dr Nelson in Oklahoma. I'm having the sleeve. Good luck!!! I hear lots of good reviews about dr. Lopez on here, though

Welcome! We have several 2/3/14 sleevers!! Good luck to you as well!!
