Hey everyone,

I am so excited to get going on this weight loss journey. I feel like I have tried so many other things but with this I feel I can have long term success! I got a bug to get it done and had my first doctor appt. Oct. 17th and it felt like it took forever to get scheduled but it really wasn't very long I guess. I am anxious to get it over with.

Scared of pain, wondering what I will eat. Anyone have any favorite Protein powders? I hear they will be my friend. The only ones I tried in the past were yucky! What about shakes? I like Optifast but they are pricey. Any decent ones out there?

Hoping for some buddies to go through this with me!

Chris.

I would LOVE to do a group email or have a text buddy or 5 or 10! Support is so important. I will try to respond to everyone with my info. I wonder if we can do a group message here? This is a little hard to navigate.

I have to do full liquids for 6 days and Clear Liquids for the last day before surgery. Bought some Isopure Protein drinks from GNC today. I hope they taste good. 40g protein in one bottle.

I'm Dec. 16th too nice to know there will be others going through this the same day I am!

I'm the 11th!!

Projectme. I'm excited your on the same time as me did you want to be part of our text group to stay close with the group that's all within days of each other?

I would love text as well. Is there a facebook group. I haven't looked through all the posts. I'm hoping to get rid of a stupid cough that I have before my surgery. I'm on some strong antibiotic and praying that it works.

A few have been giving text info for a group text for all baribuddies having our surgeries I close. My #314-402-1272. I think it will be great for us all.

My sleeve is scheduled for Dec.19thin MI

Should we set up a Facebook page for all of us around this date so it's easier to stay in touch? Thoughts? I'll set it up if folks are interested.
