There are also alot of recipes for smoothies, etc., on that site as well!

I've used the pasturized liquid egg whites from eggwhiteint.com for smoothies and orange julius'. I use the orange sunrise crystal light to make it. It's really good!

Ditto for the boredom! I feel your pain! I'm 6 days post-op and I am about to climb up the walls. I'm bored with clear liquids, bored of being inside, even bored with my bed. I'm at work now, and guess what, it is a BORING night! The weather is suppose to be nice this weekend, I'm definately going to have to get out and about. Cabin fever is setting in!

Hold your head up Heather. We all make mistakes. It's admitting to, and taking ownership of, the mistakes we make that really makes the difference, and you have done that. Stop beating yourself up and pick up the phone and call. You are now on your way to doing things the right way.

Wow! Congrats on the excellent weight loss! I can't ever remember being a size 4! Perhaps when I was a toddler! At this point in my life, any weight loss, is good weight loss! I just can't weight to get back to being myself. It'll be nice to not be the fattest face in pictures. It was either surgery, or finding friends with bigger heads than my own. The latter is probably impossible! So, VSG surgery it is! My days of yo-yo dieting are hopefully coming to an end!

Hey Amanda! Have you been sleeved yet? I'm due to be sleeved on the 31st. I see you are in Ft Mill, I live in Charlotte,NC. Just wondering if you have found a support group yet, as I am looking for one too.

Ten more days until my surgery in TJ! Woooooohoooo! I'm feeling a little overwhelmed and a lot excited! I have never been thin, and I am soooo tired of being considered thick ( P.C. for fat)! 2011, and so on, will be my time to shine. It's time to go from fat to fabulous. Let Operation Fine by Summertime commence! Special thanks to everyone who has ever posted on this site! You have been my comrades in this war to lose weight! I could not do it without every single one of you!

I'm with you Groove! 10 more days for me and I'm really beginning to get nervous! I'm having all kinds of crazy thoughts running through my head! I'm trying to get focused and concentrate on the things I need to get done before surgery. I hope the day comes, and goes, quickly! Are you doing your pre-op yet. I am, but I'm totally sucking at it!

Congrats serna6! My surgery in on the 31st of March! I think waiting these last two weeks out is going to be the hardest! I'm excited! Like you, my mom is super supportive. She's seen me struggle throughout the years, and just wants me to be happy and healthy!

OMG! Thank you sooo much for asking that question! I was so excited to be scheduling my surgery, that I forgot and scheduled it around the time my monthly friend comes for a visit! Thanks everyone for the responses, I don't feel as worried about it now!

Your upbeat and positive attitude is infectious! I can only hope mine is the same come time for my surgery!

I would love a copy please! My email is hollyjp1@aol.com! Thank you!

My surgery in 3/31 in Tijuana. I'm just a complete mess! I'm nervous, excited, anxious, and so on. I know it will increase my quality of life ten fold, but can't help but feel a little guilty, possibly even a little selfish. I'm a giver, and this is the first time I'm actually going to be giving to myself. Does that sound weird? Oh well, so be it. I'm going through with it. I'm sure the feelings of guilt will be short lived.

I'm hoping to be a March sleever as well! March 31st w/ Dr Almanza! Whooohooo!

I'm getting sleeved on March 31st with Dr Almanza. I hope to meet someone down there to buddy up with.
