I know there is an October group here somewhere but I thought I would start this off by introducing ourselves!

I'm 25 years old and from British Columbia, Canada. My surgery is set for October 2. My pre op ensure shake diet starts September 2 but I have started a week early for a head start I am

A nurse by profession and engaged but no kids. With my history of PCOS kids will come after I drop the weight. Starting weight: 280lbs Current Weight: 275 and losing everyday!!

Skinnyminnymom- I will try Dannon's version...

So I did by the Unjury starter pack to try them all. But I think I will supplement the glucerna with the Unjury to vary it up. My sweet hubs is gonna do the liquid protein and veggies at night with me. So I can have soup with chicken or fish or beef and veggies in blender. Oh she also told me no exercise during preop. I will be on the exact diet post op for 10 days.

I had the generic equivilent of prevpac because the brand name was over 300 dollars with excellent insurance. The generic cost me less than 20 bucks!

My insurance covers mine. did you have any side effects? Today was my first day taking it.

SO happy to finally have a surgery date - Oct. 4 -After having completed the 6 mo suprv. diet and all the other requirements, I did lose 40lbs during the 6 months - I am SO ready!!

I'm 50, grown kids and some grandkids and ready to start life for ME now.

Hello October sleevers! How's everyone doing today? I'm feeling anxious and nerves are kicking in.... giving the pre op diet a trial run today. I'm not suppose to start mine till the 28th, but figured I would see how I do... so far so good... the real test will be after 4 p.m, cause that's when I usually start to get hungry!

Hi, Im getting sleeved on Oct, 20, 2012 in Puerto Vallarta with Dr. Alejando Lopez .Fom Alberta Canada

I have to say I am excited and nervous! I got my size 14 Levis in mail today and I have to tell you, I cannot see fitting those. They look tiny! I am nervous about my pre-op diet. My hubs is taken me to dinner Friday. It is my favorite meal and restaurant in Bogota. I have pepper steak served with a side of tomatoes, red onions and blue cheese with a bit of olive oil and cracked pepper. Can't forget my glass of Argentina Malbec. So that will be my final "big" meal. Monday starts my real countdown.

Size 14??? What size are you now? I have an attic full of skinny clothes (size 14 the smallest) that are jeans and pullovers, no dated stuff with shoulderpads and peplums and such, lol. But i figure I may not get into them until next year. I am a size 2x and 20/22

I'm doing well! Down 13 lbs so far and still

Have 2 weeks to lose the other 7 prior to surgery. But I'm hoping to be down to 250 on my surgery day. I started at 280

Hahaha! I am a size 18-20. What's funny is I have never been anything smaller than a 16. So it was the next size down from where I have been. I wanted something to work towards. Plus I had Kohl's cash to spend from my new nightgowns I bought. I be damn if I buy one more thing in a size 20!
