I found a MULTI liquid vitamin and took it in to my NUT and she had issue with the herbals in it so it was a no go.

YAY YAY YAY!! Congrats!! I just have a few more months of my MSWL!!

There are smaller bottles available - I have seen them at Gordmans.

Make sure to look at the complications section - I know there are a few who have had some problems in Mexico, gives you an idea how it was handled, what to expect if the worst happens, etc. Those people definitely aren't getting paid!!

Doesn't medicare/medicaid cover the surgery completely here in the US? Also, I know some who have had severe complications had trouble finding a Dr that would treat them here. A good place to ask would be the complications forum.

Sunny - anxious to hear if you were approved? I was told that it had to be MD not Nut visits...

Hi Crystal - I am pre-sleeve here but am 40 this year, 4'11 and started at mt heaviest 242. So we are close in size and age and amount to loose! I am hoping to be sleeved in July/August

Hi Meg - didn't get an invoice in my paypal for shipping and left for vacation yesterday so not sure if it arrived or not! Please let me know what I owe you! Thanks )

This is great info in or out of the US - I wasn't sure if this was what I needed to do but I will definitely be applying!

This seems to be pretty normal, the few things I have heard are - number one make sure your insurance covers the sleeve - a few have been disappointed when they submitted and found out they didn't. And number two, make sire you discuss everything you are doing weight loss wise at your meetings, in detail. I am just passed my 4th visit, next one is June 13th. Mine I have to see my primary care Doctor.

I second thrift stores - you can easily pick up nice stuff very cheap. I love Goodwill and Salvation Army!

I have made tofu chili and tofu stuffed shells before and my husband and kids loved it - I haven't tried it. As for the stuffed shells I mixed it with ricotta and covered with spaghetti sauce - you could easily leave it out of the shells. My understanding is tofu takes on the flavor of what it is cooked with.

I would love some! I am preop and testing them!

Sorry to hear of her complications! Does she post here? There is a section for those with complications and maybe knowing she isn't alone will make her feel better.

That is just how Nectar labels and what they consider a "serving." Always good to check serving size - they do vary!

I am going to have an egg white omelet tomorrow

I was just wondering about MRI's - good to know!!

Tanita is a very good brand, I have owned 2 - bought a second one because the first only weighed in .5 increments so I bought one that weighed in .2. I have had the first one for around 8 years and second one for about 6 years and both are still going and accurate. BTW, this is the brand that weight watchers uses.

great idea to put it in it's own thread! I sure won't be buying an EAS!!

I just had my 4th month of the MSWL visit. I am hoping to be submitted in July.

vicki - are you on facebook? there is a facbook group Gastric Sleeve Support Group maybe you could post there too?

how long do you cook it? I bought egg whites today - this sounds so easy and filing!
