I got it on their site too. With regular shipping it still got there the next day from VA to PA!

Good luck on your diet I have been on the liquid diet sense Sunday it is hard but just keep telling your self it is for the better. I have lost 8 lds sense Sunday. And have surgery next Tuesday on the 11 july. U can do it trust me u can

When I had my bypass in 2010 I was not nervous at all. I was so ready. when I had my revision on the 22nd of June I was fine until they put me in the OR waiting area. That was when I started getting scared. I just prayed and prayed plus had a stern talk with myself that everything would come out fine.
You will be fine,

A better question would probably be is there anyone who wasn't nervous or apprehensive as their surgery date got closer! LOL. Perfectly normal. I'd be more worried if I wasn't nervous or apprehensive. I remember how scared I was like it was five minutes ago. But...I also remember laughing at myself after the surgery when I realized how absolutely none of those terrible things I imagined pre-op ever came to pass! You're going to be fine and you're gonna love the new you!!

Thanks for all the encouraging words. I'm going to have another stern talk with myself and pray that God gives me peace through all this.

I bought it on the Unjury website. It's pricey. You can also try the wonderslim products...they make some Protein Soups as well.

Today was my 2 week check up from my revision. I am so happy that I am down 12 lbs!!
I am very excited about this. I also get to start back on my Zumba class and lifting weights to music class next week. It is strange I am feeling the need to do more of that type of exercise than I am of walking.

I know I shouldn't weigh every day, but I have been wanting this so badly and now I have finally made it! 50 lbs gone as of today!

Lol All good ones its 103 In atl n really would like to wear a dress that doesnt look like a bag Of flowers Im just saying y dk our.clothes.always have Big flowers on it

Aww congrats! I remember for my older sisters wedding having to get a size 26 and for my other sister two years later I fit into a 12 and still had to take it in. It's a wonderful feeling!

Had to share yesterday I went shopping and bought a size 10!!!

When I went to work Monday some of my coworkers came up to me and said "wow your even smaller then you were on Friday!" that was sweet!

That is great. I have been trying on my clothes and I can't fit anything. My surgery was April 23rd and I'm don 45 pounds. I didn't think my size would change much. Well I was in the store the other day and I saw a shirt I wanted. I used to wear a 26/28. I knew that would be too big so I tried on the 22/24. Well that was too big too. I had to get the 18/20. Also my pants size was a size 24. Now I have to get a size 20. I was so surprised and excited.

I had to share as I'm so darn excited! I had to go dress shopping tonight as a good friend of mine is having her bridal shower this weekend. I've never enjoyed clothes shopping as going into the plus size department was always such a downer; feeling so limited in choices.
Well tonight for the first time in a LONG time I shopped in a regular womens store and to my surprise... I bought 2 new dresses both in a size 14. I'm 2 1/2 months out from surgery so this feels incredible as I haven't been this small in my whole adult life!!
Thanks for letting me share,
I love non scale victories; please share yours here too.

I have to brag a little bit here.... I am six weeks post op and work two jobs. My part time job is commissioner at a boy scout camp. I am a jack of all trades master at none: conducting trainings, maintenance, business management, etc....
A few of the directors knew I had the gastric bypass RNY, the staff does not know and continued to hassle me when I told them I wanted to do the mile swim. I had no conditioning or prior training so with it being the fourth of July and having off from my full time job I proceeded to do the mile swim. I COMPLETED the swim in HALF HOUR and could have done two miles!!
It was the most athletic thing I've done my entire life and can't wait to continue to exercise and enjoy the new me!!!!
Never let anyone tell you "No!" and be persistent enough to prove them wrong!
Not to mention swimming is a very relaxing and great exercise routine!
Veni, Vedi, Vichi!!!!!
Labor Omnia Vincit- hard work conquers all!!!
Keep up great work everyone!!!!
Ok rant over! Thanks for listening.

Thanks so much. I'm going to use the " Diet and Excercise" short answer. It's TRUE! And yeah, I hope I'm strong enough to be one of the successful ones when the time comes
I'm really scared of failing.

OH I'm sure I'll be talking to myself until they stick me and make me sleep LOL

just throwing this out there but if any of you post op have pinpoint chest pain, that is pain that you can point right too (typically to one side of the chest or the other) you should seek medical attention immediatly, 1000 times more so if you get SOB. This is a great EARLY catch story! I'm very glad your doing ok and let us know how your continuing to do!!!

WOW that is great! Good job!

So How did it go? Did you ever get to have it?

Hi everyone! Had RNY in March of 2004 at 239 lbs. At one year anniversary weighed in at 128, weight loss of 111 lbs, and looked very sick. Eventually came up 12 lbs, leveled off and at 140 was soo happy. Maintained for a while and over the past 2yrs I've gained 32 lbs and now weigh 172!!! I go to the gym 3-4 x wk and joined Weight Watchers Points Plus. Lost 6, then it came back. I can't seem to get it off and very discouraged. Has anyone heard of the 5 Day Pouch Test? I started it today. I just can't go back to my old self. Very down. Anyone have any suggestions? My surgeon retired and I found that no other dr wanted to follow his work, why, I don't know yet. Finally got an approval to be seen by the new dr's at my hospital and going in after our family vacations next month. I've been trying to refamiliarize myself with the rules, do's and dont's and can see where I've strayed. So glad I found this forum. Really could use some inspiration. I've also been reading on revisions, a shot that will make your pouch tighter, etc... Any help would be so very much appreciated. Thanks!

I went onto the world according to egg face blog and she has great recipes! I made the ricotta bake tonight (I am on purée as well) and omg it was amazing
