Yes! The buying option is cool too! And reasonable. The dress that I wore yesterday was $35 to buy. Plus, it lets you try different styles that you might not really try. I am getting 2 more dresses tomorrow and can't wait!

Ladies -- I wanted to share a cool solution that someone shared with me for clothes in the meantime, while you are losing weight and nothing fits...It's called Gywnnie Bee. It is like Netflix for clothes. You decide how many pieces of clothing you want at one time. It is $80 a month to have 3 items at a time. You can pick anywhere from 1-8 items at a time. They have sizes from 10-30. You go on their website and fill up your virtual closet and then they ship you your items. They send you return bags to ship back the items. I got my first shipment on Monday. 2 of the items didn't look great, so I sent them back immediately. One of the items, I wore yesterday and got lots of compliments. I already have 2 new dresses on the way. They have a lot of dresses. I am a consultant and meet with clients often, so I need to look as professional as possible. I was feeling frumpy in my clothes that are getting too big. I know, what a great problem to have! I don't want to buy a new wardrobe in every size. And I wasn't finding lots of cute stuff at the thrift store. So even those this is costing me $80 a month, I think that this is a good solution for me. Plus, I feel pretty and confident wearing clothes that show off my new body Hopefully some of you find this helpful. Here is the link below to their website. Good luck to all!

I have an entire case of chocolate Premier Protein that I bought at costco last month. I had one and didn't like it. If anyone wants it and wants to drive to arlington heights to pick up, you can have it!

Love dr. Rantis. Surgery went very well! Just adjusting now to this new life. It is so weird having to remember to eat. Where do you live?

Cool! Where in Chicago? How is your recovery going?

Hi All, I met a great friend on here that has been an amazing support. Unfortunately, she is moving away. I know that we will still talk all the time. But I am looking to meet some new friends locally who are going through this process. I am 37, married, and live in the NW burbs. I was sleeved on 6/2. PM me if you are looking for a new buddy!

Nukleus- are you in the NW burbs? I am in Arlington Heights.

Hi all! I was sleeved on June 2nd. The pain is going away. I am having a hard time getting all of my liquids in. I either forget or am not hungry. So that's my focus! Good luck!

It makes me very sad that you don't have support. But huge kudos to you for moving ahead. I just got home on Wed from surgery. You will need someone to drive you home and for the next couple of days. You cannot drive while on pain meds. I would look for a friend in your area going through this. I met a great friend on this site who just happens to live 10 min away. She has been an awesome support to me. Good luck!!!

It does get easier once you find what you like. I just finished 14 days of a liquid diet. Surgery is tomorrow. My fav shakes are: Syntrax nectar- fuzzy navel, muscle milk light- cake batter, and the Bariatric Advantage - vanilla. I added Peanut Butter and bananas sometimes if I was starving. It's gonna be worth it!! Good luck.

Hi there. There are a bunch of people on here from Chicago. I am in arlington heights. Getting my sleeve in Monday. Happy to help with any questions you have.

My preop appt is tomorrow. I am a 6/2!
