8/24 is the day I will be taking my life back. [emoji4]

Keep up the good work

My FB name is NieshaBrowneyes and I would like to be in this group please I have searched on FB and I can not find it. ☹️

2 of my sisters had GB 1 ate healthy always and the other was eating macaroni noodles and meat with sauce 2weeks out and eats junk food everyday. The 1st sister lost over 200lbs and has kept it off now 6 years later while the other has lost only 98lbs. I'm sure that we should stick to the guidelines given by the Dr and Nut. But asking questions is totally normal

Congrats everyone.. I am in Rochester Ny. My date is August 24th I had to change from my original date of August 3rd due to a family trip. But that is ok with me. August 24th I will join the Loser's Bench [emoji4]

Awesome job

My surgery is set for August 24th and my on and off boyfriend is concerned that I will no longer be interested in being in a relationship. He thinks that I will get too Skinny and Not want to be with him anymore. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks Blessings

My date is August 24th and I have been having some of the same feelings. I am however looking at the bigger picture here... Our Health that is what matters most and I need to be here for my children for many years to come

Thank you so much for this post!

Thanks everyone. It seems that the Flintstones Complete are very popular [emoji4] I don't want to take too many things but I thought I would have to take calcium and B12 as well. I will see what the NUT class for Surgery advises me as well. Thanks again everyone. Have a Wonderful day Blessings

Awesome.. Keep us updated

Thanks I will try these places. I don't want to purchase something expensive and hate it so I figured the samples would help.

@@Jenjen2016 I started 1/21/2016 and the Bariatric center that I used required that you complete a Nutrition class followed by one on one NUT appointments ( as many as needed but more than 4), Psych Evaluation, Monthly weigh ins, Labwork and PCP Letter of Support. All of these needed to be completed before you could meet with the Surgeon. The NUT appointments are vital here and if you don't do what is expected of you they 1) drop you from the program or 2) it takes even longer. My insurance did not require any of this.

Is anyone familiar with how to get samples of protein powders for free? If so please advise me of the companies as well as protein powders or shakes that you guys have tried that taste good or bad. Thanks in advance

I was told that I need A complete vitamin like Flintstone Complete or Centrum Chewable 2x daily. I feel like I should be taking something more. No chewy or gummy vitamins at all. He did not say anything about Calcium however I have to take a class and they go over everything else. So my question is what are you guys taking and where is the best place to get them. Please let me know if it is Liquid or Chewable or Pill form also please let me know what you guys were taking in the beginning verses months later. Also do Patches work?
