I meant to be addressing BSugar SORRY!!!

StacyS if you are starting your diet this month you can be done with it the 1st day of the 3rd month. I started in April and my surgeons office says I am done now. I don't have to wait till july

Congrats!! Hope you have a safe and easy trip home. I hope my recovery is as easy as yours

I am so excited for you!! I am also starting liquids today on my own to try and hurry surgery along. GOOD LUCK!!! You can do it!!

I have been seeing preparing to have surgery and have completed all my insurance requirements.... I want to have surgery as soon as possible! My surgeon is requiring me to have a sleep study done and then IF (you know they will) they say I have sleep apnea they are going to make me sleep with the cpap for 14 nights straight before being cleared for surgery.... WELL there is another center of excellence bariatric surgery place here that DOES NOT require a sleep study that my friend works at and I could possibly have surgery with him within 2 weeks.... I am seriously thinking about switching surgeons... What would you do??

MONICA!!! Thank you so much!! You have just about confirmed my decision for me!!! I have a friend who works for Dr. T. She is a nurse there. She tried to get me to go to him b4 I ever went to Dr. Schmitt. I AM LISTENING NOW!! I am out 200 bucks but at least I wont have to wait on that dang sleep study. I am calling tomorrow to get an appoint w him asap. I would love to talk to you on the phone!!

I am in Locust Fork above Bham in Blount County

If I have the sleep study and am required to sleep with the cpap it will probably kill my chances of having surgery with this surgeon anyway. My insurance only covers 70% of the cpap machine and I will not be able to afford the other 30%. Which will ensure NO SURGERY for me!! So the time frame thing is not my only reason.

Hey! I am from Alabama!! I am still pre-op. I have been planing on having surgery with Dr. Schmitt but now I am thinking of changin surgeons.

You look amazing!! Way to go!!

Ok PLease tell me that this stuff taste like... I read about it everyday. I haven't been brave enough to try any yet. ALSO Cottage Cheese... What in the world does it taste like??

Thanks ALL!! I think I will get both and try them

Is cottage cheese sweet, sour, tangy, ...... ??? Do I sound like a dummy?? Am I the only one who has never had it??

That's so freakin awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!

That was what like 300 calories of NOTHING!! Just to waste those calories.... If you are going to snack and just have to then make it worth the calories. Put that reeses egg in the blender w a choc protein shake then it wont seem so bad. Skip the crackers cause they are NOTHING good...

It really depends on your insurance. I have fep blue and I just found the policy outline online and looked up my requirements there. Good Luck!! I am pre-op too and I am seriously obsessing too!!

I feel the same way Kelly! I have been substituting 1-2 meals per day with protei shakes. I have lost about 10 pounds this month.

I can't believe it I got sooo close!! 3 pounds away from the goal...... Well tomorrow is Easter and I will post the final score

i REALLY LIKE THE EAS CHOCOLATE POWDER WITH A LITTLE SF/FF CHOC pudding MIX IN THERE EVEN THROW IN SOME PB SOMETIMES.. VERY GOOD. NOT PROTEIN TASTING AT ALL GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

Throw that damn pizza away!! It's the devil!!! LOL
