My last appointment for my supervised weight loss will be at the end of July so I'm looking at a sleeve date in August and would love to find some others that will be sleeved around that time as well. I think it would be awesome to keep track of each other via Facebook and have a mini support group!

I just got prelim approval for Aug 24th. I'm nervous but excited and would really enjoy the support.

I had a lap band removed and am ready for the next phase. Right now, I'm researching vitamins and minerals in liquid form. I have heard some insurances might cover vitamins?

Good luck to us!

I'm going to start the vitamin patches, they seem to be easy to use and can sit on my counter in my bathroom so I'll remember to stick them on. Is any one else using them?

I have a surgeon appointment on July 26. Then everything will be sent to the insurance. Hoping for a late August date for surgery.

So I start my two week pre-op diet on Wednesday. My pre-op the first week is one protein shake and two "clean" meals (3-4 oz protein (chicken, or fish + a serving of vegetables). Second week 3 protein drink meal replacements + clear liquids AND the day before surgery no shakes, only clear liquids. I will be flying home the evening of my second day of the second week on all liquids

So I've been on a work trip in a hotel for over a week with a somewhat kitchen. Overall the past month I was trying to keep the quantity of my food down, no carbs and gave up caffeine, but still eating some sweets. I thought I'd be better on this trip this first week, but have had probably more bread than ever (not sure why), well the hotel does give us breakfast and its a carb fest. If we eat out for lunch, I try and order somewhat healthy and box half of that for my dinner or snack. I did order a margarita yesterday and I was eating alone. Its one of the things I will miss, so I know I won't cheat come Wednesday. I think I'll miss York patty too. If I see one tomorrow or Tuesday, I guess I will indulge.

I've prepared my hotel refrigerator for my pre-op; lots of protein ready to drink shakes (mostly chocolate) a couple of frozen atkins dinners. Some sliced turkey.

I'm sitting here now, drinking a crystal light rather than go downstairs and buy ice cream. I bet if I put a lime in my crystal light, I can imagine its a margarita.

I've never heard of vitamin patches. But I'd sure be willing to give them a try!

I'm August 1st! Today is day 7 of the liquid diet.

I am scheduled for August 1st. It is getting close and nerves are kicking in. Currently on the VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet) and I am doing well.

I'm August 1 too! I've been anxious for awhile too. I keep praying, looking at pictures of cute clothes and at my son playing to remind myself that it's worth it....
