Oh I am going to have to try this!

@@Alex Brecher I'll be glad to see you offering products we need in one convenient place as long as you can do it for reasonable prices and shipping cost. I live in a small town so other than Walmart most of my shopping for specialty items are purchased online. Amazon is where I go first to look for something I need...

@@ajcarl I ordered the sample box directly from http://www.si03.com/EMAIL/nectar_gng_sampler/nectarsampler.html
The site gives an 800 number you call to order the sample package, It was $15 plus 1.99 shipping and they sent 15 samples. It came within a week.

Oh so many good thoughts... I want to be proud to stand next to my son in pictures for his graduation in May!!! AND he plans to attend college where I went and I want to look forward to walking around campus with my son telling him all about the good times!

I use Prime a few times per week and have totally gotten spoiled by them! We're planning to offer similar prices and services. We'll most likely offer free 2-3 day shipping.

Where does everyone purchase their Syntrax products from? We're going to be offering their entire line of products (as well as 300-500 other Bariatric products) in a few weeks when we launch the BariatricPal Store.< /p>

Just use a full scoop or a full packet in about 8 -10 oz of Water or milk. If for some reason you really want to use a quarter scoop or quarter packet, weigh it. Put your Blender Bottle or beaker with the liquid on your digital food scale, set it to grams, tare it out, and then slowly shake the powder in until you get the right number -- I think it's 7 grams for most Syntrax products.

LOL our son is 17 and I doubt anything goes on around here that he doesn't know about...my hubby is terrible about keeping something to himself... I talked to my son about it and we had a pretty frank discussion about the pro and cons and the risk with surgery and the risk if I don't do the surgery... He is very supportive, he said his greatest wish is that I'll be healthy, happy, and around for a long time!!!

Good for you for sticking up for yourself and I'm so glad it worked!!!

That's awesome

I'm scheduled for Aug 24th and I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I start my preop diet on Monday!!

I just found out today too that I'm scheduled for Aug 24th!! I have 2 weeks of 2 shakes a day with meal of 4-6oz Protein with 1/2 cup of veggies so starting Monday!!! LOL Monnie815 I don't live too far from Mobile but I'm going to Huntsville, AL to stay with my parents when I have my surgery.

I love yoga...
About a year ago or so, I was going regularly to a 2x wk morning class... it was a blend of styles because most of the class were either heavy or elderly. I had trouble with anything that had my head down because my hiatal hernia (not sure of spelling on that) was acting up. It is not fun to feel like your food is coming up every time you bend over -- LOL. Unfortunately, there were just not enough of us to keep the class going. There are a couple of night time classes but they are too crowded for me (not body issues, space issues, I don't like someone right up next to me, it feels claustrophobic).
I did buy a set of DVDs I like and can't wait to get back to, when I don't have the hernia problem (supposed to be fixed with my sleeve surgery). The set I have is "Yoga for Inflexible people" it has 3 DVDs and over 50 different routines. You can pick your level and choose how long you want to work out. I love the flexibility and variety. The one thing I can't get with the DVDs is have an instructor check to make sure I'm doing it right (asking hubby does NOT work and my son just falls over laughing -- poo on them).
I have a good friend who has gotten really healthy by adding yoga to her lifestyle and I want to be like her when I grow up -- LOL. Unfortunately she doesn't live anywhere near me...
Good luck with trying yoga!!!

I agree with what Inner Surfer Girl said!! Lay out your pros and cons... not just with the surgery but what happens if you don't do something to change your weight.
For me it came down to what WILL happen if I don't lose this excess weight (and I can't do it by myself and with just diet and exercise). The most I've ever lost dieting is 30 lbs and I need to lose 100 lbs. I have a fatty liver, high blood pressure, sleep aphnea, steps away from diabetes, and now a possible heart problem. I can't afford to NOT do something soon about my weight. I looked into this and thought about it 3 or 4 years ago, before I had these additional health problems, and boy do I wish NOW I'd done it then!!!
