  6. I'd have to have someone stand on the roof to get my head at an angle that didn't show my double-chin! Honestly, from your avatar, I wouldn't guess you weighed more than 130! Haha! Right! But no, I don't have a big double chin! Lol maybe just a bit of skin but normally I can hide it well!

Wowwww I wishh well actually.. so I do attend church, im actually a sunday school teacher and I went to a wedding and talked to an old friend whose 18 and im 20 so we just talked but funny thing is I always said hi and we always hugged before but never really talked so on that wedding night we took a few pictures and talked and all of a sudden now we talk everyday and I would have never expected it .. still to early to see the future but ehh who knows!
  13. I have everyday! They just keep saying that "there's still waiting on finding a day to schedule" or that they don't have a date locked in :(
  14. Hey ya'll so I got approved for surgery May 17th (Thursday) and i'm still waiting on a surgery date? I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN WAITING for ever!! How long did it take for you to get a surgery date after approval?? Why does it take so long?
  15. I'm nervous but super excited and wish I was going in tomorrow!! lol Yess!! Me tooo!! I wish it was like tomorrow or at least I knew the day!!! Its agony
  16. Yes me too! Just waiting on surgery date!!
  17. Yes!!! If I want to try a flavor I go to walmart because they have the 4 packs, but since I know that I like the strawberries and bananas and caramel, I go to sams club! They have a bigger 12-ish pack! (:
  18. Hi sammi! I use the premier shakes! I love the caramel and the bananas and cream! Also just tried the strawberries and creme and it was just as good! I do not like the the vanilla one, and can't have the chocolate one! But you should give those a go! Its 30g of protein and 1g sugar 5g carbs and low fat! I'll be on my liquid diet soon! So I have gotten prepared! Good luck!
