I'm doing great Megs! Welcome Alisha! We have a great group of Okie's......Megs' date=' I finally found a Protein drink I can drink. I was so excited. I have spent a ton of money trying to find something. I tried the Premier Protein from Sam's and to me, it just tastes like chocolate milk. I was scared to death that I would be bald headed in about 4 months because of not getting my Protein. Hope things are going good with everyone!![/quote']

Oh honey... You have not even started loosing hair yet. It's ridiculous and annoying. It doesn't matter if you get all of your protein in or not... It's gonna go. Get and start taking bioten now and maybe it will not be as bad

Well pooh!! I have already lost a ton because of my thyroid. It makes me nervous as heck to think about loosing more. I have heard conflicting reviews on the bioten. Do you really thinks it helps?

On the Premier Protein you might check Amazon too you can get it as an add on item for I think takes a while to ship but I think it comes out a little cheaper if you buy ahead for later on... I have been getting samples of different things to try to find what I think will work for me haven't tried those yet.... I'm pre op and it looks like I'm gonna be on the list for late may/ early June

Lisa at Dr Kirks office told me to start taking it. I was already doing that so she was ok with it.

Hello all!

I live in okc. 27 F. heaviest weight 329 lbs' date=' surgery weight 282 lbs. Was sleeved this morning (10/23/12) with Dr. Broussard in Edmond. Love the entire program, surgeon, etc. So happy I did it & it's finally over with. Best decision I've made for myself-maybe ever. Good luck to all & I'll be happy to answer any questions.

Also...since we are all in OK area....I'd love to have a clothes trade or sell etc as we are all starting at different sizes. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Thanks! Take care.

Hi Kimmy! Everything is great. I've lost about 32 pounds. Recovery was fairly easy. It's been 4 weeks now and I feel great. How are you doing?

Great job!! No, I haven't had mine yet. I'm still doing my 6 month supervised diet that's required by my insurance. I've had some of my testing done already...I do my sleep study Friday. I get more excited and more anxious every day:)

Good luck with everything, Kimmy. The sleep study is NOT fun, but tolerable. You will just go home and go to sleep. Your six months will be up before you know it. Hang in there..... :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
