Are you exercising? Perhaps you need to increase your cardio...? (Just a thought).

Really!? I am surfing various sites and ordering samples now. Have you tried syntrax nectar or matrix? I order a bunch of samples. I'm hoping their tasty. Have you started the pre-op diet yet?

Has anyone tried unjury, Syntrax nectar of syntrax matrix? I just purchased a bunch of samples off the net. I'm hoping they taste good. The flavors are pretty fruity. So I figured they would be tasty. Also, are the premiere shakes only available for purchase through costco? Thanks for your help!

Hi Everyone!!! My surgery date is July 17th. I am excited yet nervous about post op! But, I know I will prevail. Best of luck to everyone!!! Please let us know how your doing after surgery. I will do the same.

That's wonderful!!! Have you been doing a lot of cardio?

You look great !!!

I empathize with you. My surgery is set for July 17. I have had minor surgery before and I've been under anesthesia for my endoscopy. So I kinda know what to expect. I don't think it's going to be bad at all. I'm more so scared of post op.... I'm concerned with pain, the heeling process, whether I will have complications or not (prayerfully not), the eating process, getting in all the required vitamins/nutrients & liquid intake, how my body will react to the surgery, the amount of weight I will loose, how fast/slow will I loose the weight, what will I look like, how soon can I go on a shopping spree, and BEST of all will my body be rid of this stinkin diabetes!!!!!!! UGHHHH! You'll be fine!

Are you in any pain?

Congratulations Little Bits!! I'm glad to see everything Turned out for the best!! Keep us updated. Ttyl~

I don't see any harm in that either. Go for it!

OMG. I think you just need to calm down and relax. I haven't had the surgery yet so idk about the pain your experiencing. But, you definitely need to relax and just think about recovering from the surgery. Don't worry about your husband and whether or not he's cheating on you right now. If he is cheating, time will tell! You should definitely be mindful of those friends/family members whom have supported you throughout this time frame. Lean on them for support. I'm sure you will be fine. Stay positive & keep taking those pain meds !

You CAN do it. Why don't you try a liquid diet or perhap a low cal diet and slightly increase your exercise. Do NOT give up!!!!!

OMG. I just received a phone call from my surgeons office informing me of the insurance approval. I am SO excited yet nervous at the same time. I can't believe this day has finally come. I just wanted to thank each and everyone of you vsters. You all really have helped me tremendously. Words cannot express how grateful I am for finding this site. It's just a wealth of information. Now I can officially count down the days until my surgery!!!! Surgery scheduled for July 17, 2012! Thanks again~

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh okay. I havd a liquid diet as well. But I don't start until the 3rd. I think it's going to be tough but I'll make it work! Side note: How do I create one of those body weight ticker banners?

I received a phone call this morning as well. My surgery is set for July 17. I too am experiencing the same feelings as you. I think it will all work out for the best. Stay positive. Say your prayers and think about the healthier YOU!!! Before you know it we'll be posting before and after photos. Whoohooo! Good Luck with everything ~!!!

Why do you have to start the pre-op diet so soon?

Whoohooo :) !!!!

That's awesome. We can be sleeve-buddy's!!!

OH WOW!!!! BIG SHOUTOUT TO THE JULY SLEEVERS!!!!!!! HEHEHE. CONGRATULATIONS & GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!!!

WOW. GOOD LUCK WITH EVERYTHING!

I have read so many different variations of the diet. My doctor said no protein drinks. Only clear liquids, jello & applesauce. No limitations.
