You look wonderful!

Vent away we are here for you!

Welcome! Enjoy the site there is a lot of information here. I'm a big fan of nectar products. Just found a site for all of the liquid supplements and vitamins. Www.drugstore.com. The products are made by wellesse.

Wonderful congrats to you both!!

Call doctor, if they aren't there go to the ER. Better to be safe than sorry. Keep us posted.

I start my pre-surgery liquid diet in the 8th of July, so I did a test drive of the Protein shakes I purchased and of those I like I have plenty on board and ready.

That's wonderful! All the best on your continued success.

I'm planning to take 3 weeks off, the first to weeks to adjust and the other to vacation wtih family if all goes well.

What's Turbo Jam?

I have looked at tons of pictures that folks have shared and I can see the amazing results and I am greatly encouraged. The other day I saw another woman that I know had a WLS and noticed how old she looks now. I am currently concerned that I too will experience the look of aging once I drop in weight. I don't want to cake on make-up to look younger. i have one big mirror in my place and I always joke that my mirror does not lie. But I want to ensure I look like "me" not a rapidly aging me. I'm not vain or hung up on looks but I want to looking like I do in my mind I guess, fun and carefree. And I know once my body begins to transform I will see a body that is smaller and will allow me to be physically able to be free and have fun. I'm far from being a spring chicken but my heart is young, just want the outside to reflect the same. Has anyone else experiencing concerns of looking aged post surgery?

I know! Snap, Crackle, Pop!!!!!!

I drink water all day long, so much so my eyes float. LOL But I will keep it up, once I'm post-op I know I need it. I plan to check you the site you shared Neuanfang. Thanks!

This was great information! I am getting nervous but so excited on taking this journey. A friend of mine that had the VGS done a year ago has been wonderful in giving me information and advise. They suggested that if I wanted to get my supplements in liquid form to go to www.drugstore.com and to look for products under the brand of Wellesse. I did look and they have B-12, Iron, Multivitiamin, Vitamin D3 in liquid form. The costs, are rather low as well. Once the supplies I have purchased run low I consider ordering from them what I need. But knowing myself I will shop around for the best product and bargin. Lol.

I've been reading about mental hunger for a few days now. xchubba you made a great point about television. I may have to stock up on books and limit TV to just the weather. Continued success everyone on their journey.

There's a forum I think on foods and recipies. Experiement also, with the small about of food allow that will not be much to waste. I want to hit my local dollar store so I can get tuna; if I can get in the pouch when i return to work that will be fast Protein without tons of prep. Just have to bring a bowl and fork from home to really break it down.

I work out 3-4 times a week and have fallen in love with kettlebells. Can't wait to see the further positive results, once I have surgery.

I hope my cycle does not start, but I will suck it up. lol

I sit out in the open at my job, so this makes me wonder how my system will react once I'm back at work. I would hate to smoke out my co-workers LOL. From having prior abdominal surgery, walking helped. But since you've tried that I don't know what to suggest. I do you it gets better for you.

I have family there. I was planning to go there during recovery actually. Cool

Happy Sleeve Day to you! Hope all is going well. Keep us posted on your recovery and journey.

Hey there! What hospital are you working to obtain the sleeve? I'm going to Temple University Hospital.
