    New and in need of support and guidance!

    I know what helped with the sweet craving in all my past diets was to have a HUGE bowl of already washed, peeled, cut up mixed fruit so I could just go in and scoop some out. sometimes I would sprinkle a little sea salt on them to get rid of the salty craving too. Diverting tastebuds worked for...

    Pre-Op Liquid Diet Prep

    They are shaker cups that have this little metal ball inside that looks sorta like a whisk so when you shake up your protein it whips the clumps out and gets it all good and mixed up. I got mine at walmart but most health places like GNC have them

    Oh gosh 6 days left...

    I would say and a wake up but I have to be at the hospital at 4:30 and the hospital is an hour away. I doubt I will be sleeping. I might just spend that time ogling my son while he sleeps.

Day 6 all the fluid retained in my calves and ankles...

    Been MIA

    I have been MIA the last week well because it is hard as heck to get on my laptop with a 9 month old around. He is perfectly content playing but as soon as my laptop comes out he thinks he has a new toy! Anyhoo. I started my liquid diet last Wednesday and I have had a couple of oppses...

    Lesson learned

    Its not an exact science especially with women because our water weight fluctuates too much. I hate protein bars because honestly most of them are an over glorified candy bar. There is a pin on pintrest that has all these great ideas to pre-pack on the go snack packs and keep them all in one...

    New Here

    You might hear back sooner than that. I was told 3-4 weeks for approval and I just got an overwhelming nagging feeling to call a week later for an update and the patient coordinator said you were approved and I am ready to schedule you for surgery. I was on her list to call that day!

    immunine protein drink?

    Don't feel pressured into buying anything. That is over the moon expensive. My doctor carries isopure and vitamins but that is more out of a convince thing for patients but they don't try to push anything.

    Count down - 16 days.

    Yay!!! I know the feeling with telling people I haven't come right out and announced HEY IM HAVING VGS!!! but I haven't been quiet about it either. Everyone at work is either supportive or keeping quiet and not making any negative comments...at least to my face.

    yes yes yes that is the same reason I am not facebook official too. Even though everything is scheduled and I start the liquid diet next Wednesday I still feel like something could go wrong and I would have to "take it back"

    OMG yes I am over the moon excited but yet scared as all get out. A friend of mine said that her C-section was way worse of a recovery then her sleeve. That makes me calm down a bit because my C-section recovery was a breeze
