Good Luck to you also!!!

That is good to hear. I have to do the BetterMD my dr requires it. I orderd it today I just want to be ready. Had a lot of running around today with all the paper work for work now hope I don't have any trouble with that. I know my boss will try to deny my time off work. But I'm going to go over head if she does.

Be sure to add your name to the August threads. There are other folks on the same date that you can chat with (that's my target date btw so hopefully I'll be joining you!)

Good luck! It has been nothing but positive for me. I am two months out and down about 50 lbs! You are going to be full of questions for the next few weeks, but before you know it you will be on the loser's bench. I did the Bariatric Advantage high protein meal replacement drinks for my 2 week pre-op diet. Whatever you drink you just have to remember that you will get through it, and the whole goal of the diet is to shrink your liver so you will have a safer surgery. That was all I though about and cheating was not just not an option. Good luck again!!
