Woohoo!!!! i hope to follow in your footsteps! I have over a hundred to lose. Congrats on your success!

I hope you take a moment to email the airline about how they handled your situation. So many now are making us fluffy people buy an extra seat. You were very fortunate to have such a nice person as a seat mate. I hate flying because I feel like everyone is staring at me like I am going to make the plane fly lop-sided. Your surgery will be here before you know it!

I have been on a taste testing spree! I have spent a ton of money to find something decent. I don't like milk so adding the protein-y taste to milk is just tolerable. I have found that chocolate is the least milk tasting of all of the brands I have tried. The most tolerable for me has been Atkins Advantage-4/5.99 Slim Fast Low carb-milk chocolate-4/5.00 Muscle milk is decent but expensive-1/3.69 The banana is surprisingly better than the chocolate Oh Yeah drinks from The Vitamin Shoppe has some good flavors but they are a little expensive as well at 1/2.89 All of these seem to be thick and I am still pre-op so I will be watching the list for post-op ideas I tried the Protein pudding with like no carbs from The Vitamin Shoppe and WHOA! I opened it, tastes a speck and promptly tossed it into the trash! That was a wast of 4.00 for 1 can.

I don't want to tell EVERYONE so for the people who are curious about my meight loss I plan to tell them I was on a strict, low carb, high protein diet and that is the truth...minus a detail. lol

I am using Dr. Waggoner but since we are so close...keep in touch!!!! My date is the 13th. I'm so nervous!

Thanks for the honesty!!! i look forward to reaching neglected parts! hee hee

Good idea and good for you!!! However, I have less willpower with my scale than I do with food! haha.

I plan to tell people that I went a majorly strict, high Protein, low carb diet. Won't be a lie Just leaving out some details!! lol

I told my husband the same thing but I am pretty sure he did so when it does come out that he did I will be mad that he told AND lied. I feel ya!

Thanks for the idea of adding something to the broth for flavor. I am still on my pre-op and I would be happy to lick the seasoning off of my daughters chips! I HATE milk so all of the Protein that taste like milk are killing me.

y'all are fresh so I can fresh opinions. Do any of you have any regrets?

I feel your pain!! The Mio in my water has helped a BUNCH and I am aloud a cup of spinach a day that I savor because I can chew!

Sounds like a good idea but I have ZERO experience in that area!

That's how I feel with my pre-op diet! i have 5 more days and I would chew my own arm off if I didn't think it had too many carbs! Keep your eye on the prize!!!

A nurse at my doc's office had the sleeve. She said she was in her high 200's and she is 5'0", She looks amazing and you can't tell she has ever had a weight problem. She lifter her shirt to show me her scars and I even asked if she had a tummy tuck because she looked so good but she said no. She just followed the guidelines. You can do this!

That is fantastic!!! Congrats on the weight loss! You will have all sorts of time to ride...and look great doing it!

Oooh! I thought it was the single incision thing-a-ma-bob. Super col to find a local having the same surgery on the same day!!!! I'm using Dr. Waggoner in Cypress. if you do a surgeon search on this sight it will tell you how many patients are on here with that surgeon. Good luck to you and keep in touch! We can compare notes! haha

I would chew a strangers arm off for a chimichanga right now!

Your positive attitude should be contagious! I wish you so much success!

I am in Cypress and getting sleeved on the 13th too! Buuut, I am not doing anything called a spider. Sorry i couldn't be of help.

I think the word Vajayjay sounds prettier, cooler, neater, like we have a top of the line Vagina! As for the other responses...I'm heading to google as soon as I hit "post". I haven't seen mine in so long I didn't even think about it!

I am on a 14 day liquid diet except a cup of green leafy veggies a day and I have been surviving with Mio in my water! The jello is a good trick to making your brain think it's eating! haha

I never thought about Goodwill! That's a great idea! My doc didn't mention any pudding or yogurt. I am on a super strict 14 day pre-op that includes 3 protein shakes, 2 cups of green leafy veggies and 2 cups of chicken broth A DAY! I am on day 6 and if I didn't think there were too many carbs I would chew my own arm off!

Amen, Hallelujah and congratulations!!!

When do you have your surgery? I mean, I was cleared by the psych doc but still a teeny bit concerned. I do believe I could be a certified over-thinker!
