That's so cute. I love that idea.

My first psych appointment had me taking a test with 425 questions! Who knows what I'll have to do on the next one.

I really like the chicken flavor. I put veggies and/or Beans in it.

I sure hope not because I only drink skim milk.

You look great! Congratulations.

I am hoping for late August or early September. I have to wait until then because I am not eligible for fmla with my job until then. It feels like forever.

Pookybear, you are a wonderful daughter because you're caring and considerate. Have an open honest talk with your mom and make sure she understands your reasons. Then when, or if she decides to have her surgery you can take care of her.

Its a large nerve that runs from your brain into your chest and down into your abdomen. (If anyone has more info on it please feel free to correct me.) I was told by my surgeon that most surgeons do staple across it when doing a rny.

I asked my surgeon if he routinely cuts the vegus nerve. No one really knows what it does, but I asked him not to cut mine.

So so sorry to hear about that.

If I take all of my sick, personal, and vacation time, I would be putting myself at risk of losing my job if anything comes up between my surgery and August.

I know, you're completely right. I'll try.

I see a difference in your mid section. You're doing great!

I'm so scared that it won't happen because this is the third time I've tried to get this surgery. It just seems like every time I try something knocks me down.

I may have to postpone my surgery until August because I have a new job and won't be eligible for fmla until then. I'm so depressed.

Hi AliG, and welcome. I am required to lose 15 pounds before my surgery. I have lost ten already. I did it by cutting out red meat, cutting WAY down on sugar, no fast food, and nothing fried. I also recommend starting your protein shakes now because they make you feel full super fast.

Yes just hot water in a coffee cup. I just sipped it and felt really full before I could finish it.

I have found that Unjury chicken flavor is really good. It tastes just like chicken broth and I plan on putting veggies in it to make a soup.
