If you live in the Dallas Texas area and are interested in tasting and learning about a new shake and a 90 day weight loss challenge--- let me know and I will get your more information. or feel free to check out the web site: www.BodyByVi.com Look forward to hearing from many of you sleevers in Texas!! :cool0:

Lee and Cajun--you can go to www.myvi.net/419100 to view nutritional content and pricing as well! I am actually starting my 90 day challenge on Monday--the 8th. The shakes are powder and they do taste very good--not like dried up tree bark. This is not spam it is real--and if people were not soooo skeptical and have open minds they might realize there are people on here that just want to help people. Thats what nurse practitioners do, and its sad that people are so negative and skeptical about things. I would never post spam on this forum--I really enjoy this site--Ihave my own practice, 4 small children 10-6-4-and 11 mos, and I don't have time to mess with spam or junk just like everyone else!! Hope you understand!! Thanks and I hope you all have a very good week!! By the way-- I start my 90 day challenge on Monday 3/8/10--so around the 1st of June--we will let everyone be the judge if this was spam!!!

You do look great!! Congrats on getting into normal sizes!!!

Hope everything went well today, Lee. I will remember you in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing you a speedy recovery!! The sleeve is an amazing thing---as you will see soon enough!!!

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow!! I will definitely keep you in my prayers. Keep us posted! You will do wonderful!

Just keep your head held high. Don't let those people (family or not) spoil or ruin your excitement about your date. That is an exciting thing. I shared my surgery date with my husband, parents, closest friends. Everyone close to me was very supportive, however, I got my fair share of "Are you really going to Mexico.... are you sure about this????, have you checked that Dr. out good>>>/// Everyone is so skeptical! Keep your eyes on the prize chickiepoo!!! It'll be here and over before you know it!! It's a wonderful thing!!! Good luck---keep us posted. Definitely stay plugged into this site-- it will help you stay excited and motivated to get ya to April!!! Jennifer

WOW!! Now that is amazing willpower! I don't see how you do it. Obviously you have lost a tremendous amount of weight though-- I mean size 24 to 12 speaks volumes. The numbers truly don't matter, but what helps encourage me-- ( a new person to the forum) is to see the actual numbers. Whether it be numbers from the scale, or a persons clothing sizes!! Would love to see some pics even if you don't weigh!!! Keep up the great work!! Go sleeve go!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!! Good luck on your continued weight loss---- you'll get there SOOOOON!! It is just amazing to me how the weight falls off!!

Congratulations Joan!! Isn't it amazing how fast it falls off!! Keep up the great work!! Keep us posted!! Jennifer

Congrats, Kermit!!! I was sleeved on the 30th. Yesterday was 7 days post op and am down 16 lbs. Very exciting!! You are doing wonderful! It is weird how the docs differ on how to advance the diet!! So today I begin 2 weeks of full liquids, then advance to mushies!! They make a Carnation instant breakfast that is already made it is rich milk chocolate sugar free --- tastes just like choc milk to me 13gms of protein. Keep up the great work!!

Good luck tomorrow!!! I was just sleeved on the 30th and I know exactly how you feel. Although, I do have a wonderful support system!! You'll do wonderful!! Look forward to this journey together!!

Hey!. I was just sleeved in Mexico for $9700 by Dr. Alvarez. At Centennial in Nashville it was $25000--yeah yiiiiikes. I have UHC but my husbands policy excludes weight loss surgery!! So--- I went to mexico! Good Luck!
