This is a good question! I've been wondering about this. Since we're not supposed to drink with our meals bc it'll wash the food out, causing us to eat more, wouldn't the same thing happen with puréed soups and protein shakes? Protein shakes wouldn't cause you to feel full?

I'm with Kaiser too! Are you in Calif?

I'd be worried about hair loss

Please invite me heidi.kate@yahoo.com

I have an ADR (automatic delivery rewards) with NuSkin for that same reason: never want to run out

I'm going to take my Nano Lifepak vitamins twice a day from a company called NuSkin/Pharmanex

So Ali, your surgery date is Monday! Wow, are you excited? Where are you having YOUR surgery? I will be praying for you on Monday. I used to work at a mall in Mountain View many years ago

In Fremont Calif

Just looked it up

What's bougie?

Hi Ali, I live in East Bay of San Francisco in a town called Pleasant Hill, What city are you at? Maybe we're not too far from each other!

Wow VSG Mary!!!!

Hi everyone, I'm totally new to this forum. I'm just beginning my journey. My story is that like most I've been on so many diets. Last year (July 2014) I was at my lowest in a long time (201 lbs) and even won a weight loss challenge contest. But since, I've again gained much, not all back.. Today I am 241. I'm so tired of the up and down. My problem is a little food just doesn't satisfy me.. I'm still hungry.. So I want the sleeve surgery. I went to weight loss class yesterday. In 3 weeks (Oct 29th) I go to Orientation and then meet with the Surgeon and the Dietician. I want to try and drop some weight before so that maybe the surgeon will give me my surgery date. I read on here about hair loss and loose skin. I have some products that I'm hoping will help with that. A Nano (small.. So it absorbs) Vitamin Pack HNS (hair nails skin) A super juice for even more Antioxidants A Body and Faicial Spa device to keep skin tight and smooth And a hair preparation called Nutriol that some have actually had regrowth Maybe I won't lose my hair or have to have a tummy tuck! You all seem very encouraging Thank you... You all will have great success, and I'm excited for us all Heidi

Thank you! Well it could be Feb, then for me. That's ok. I'm with Kaiser Permanent.. Hmmm I thought it was 10% of total body weight.. But it only 10%of excess.. That would be about 9-11 pounds for me.. I thought I'd have to lose 25 to get the date. Yes I will look at your blog. Thanks for the info! What is your name?

I think you're supposed to be less miserable after because your stomach will be smaller
