hey all, anyone from orange county? I'm being sleeved aug 21, looking for someone to go through the process with.... I'm starting to get nervous! :/

new whey liquid protein from the vitamin shoppe..... Great way to get your protein....42grams in one shot! And they taste pretty great!

I usually get their mini side salad.... It's delicious and definately healthy enough after your walk.... Enjoy

quick, run!!!!! but seriously...good luck

I got a call today from my health advocate nurse.... According to them, I might not be approved for my surgery that's scheduled for Tuesday As if I didn't need that added stress.....

Twotastic?

You can do it. My brothers sound,like your family lol... I failed at the lapband AND the lapband failed me..... It slipped. My sleeve surgery is aug 21st. And you know what I keep saying? "you can do this..... No one can bring me down.....don't listen to what he says.... Don't eat what they eat.....I DON'T WANT TO DIE BEFORE MY 40s!!!! " I have an obese brother.....325lbs.... And all he tells me is that I can't do this.... People are afraid to try..... You will be great.... As long as you follow the doctors instructions..... And in a few months if you have a bad day, just make the next one better......I always drink during eating.... But I know I can't anyone..... Go on YouTube and find videos of people who have had the sleeve.... Good luck with whatever decision you make.... I'm getting the sleeve because I need to loose weight and this tool will HELP us

Okay.... I finished watching it last night...l got quesy but very glad I finished it

Vincent Lombardi The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It's your mind you have to convince.

maybe you should think about bottle feeding for a week, just until your incisions heal

That's why I wanted to watch it..... But man! It was so INTERESTING lol

i wish yesterday was my last day of work.... Those people are stressing me out! A coworker of mine yesterday asked me when surgery was (I've only told them I need to get my lapband corrected....they don't know I'm getting the sleeve!) so I told her it was next Tuesday.... In a rude attitude, her response was "so your getting the lapband removed right? Because I don't see why you can't lose the weight with just diet and exercise!" breathe Tiffany........breathe........wooosah!!!!! Woooosah!!!!! this coworker of mine literally weighs 93lbs, has never had an eating problem in her life.... She's just this cute, tiny little Asian woman, about 35-40 years old.......and she's got the nerve to tell someone 3x's her size that 'diet and exercise' a going to fix me????!!!!! Oh hell no! I was so upset at that point.... I honestly didn't know how to respond to that. I just simply and softly responded with "I'm sure you have no clue what it's like to be this big and this disgusted in yourself. I'm glad diet and exercise work for you, but this is my body and my choice" the look on her face was pure stunned..... I'm pretty sure no one has ever responded to her rudeness like that before.... I'm so tired of people telling me what I should and should not do with this body of mine.... "god gave you this body" yes....he did..... And unfortunately, I ruined it and I'm trying to get it back.....so shove off! lord grant me the strength to continue to deal with these haters.... Help me see that they motivating me to work harder at the body I want! anyone else have these issues with friends/family/coworkers who don't know what it's like being like us? how did you deal with it?

I've told 3 people at work. Who also happen to be really good friends... My friend ulises is big like me and is sort of planning on getting the surgery... But he's not sure if he wants the lapband or the sleeve lol. My friend Dianed, who also struggles with weightless due to a thyroid issue and finally, My friend Norma, who has the lapband (like me) and (like me) is trying to get approved for the sleeve (I'm pretty sure her insurance doesn't like her because they won't approve her surgery.... I trust these friends of mine.....that's why I've told them, and them only. I haven't decided if or when I will tell anyone at work.... I don't want them to judge me or tell me what I should or should not be eating (I've gotten that before too!!!) you guys are right..... People have no filters....

I was only able to watch 5 minutes....I couldn't finish the rest.... LOL... I want to watch it all again but not tonight lol...

My doc only has me on a one week pre op diet.... 1200 calories per day, and liquid for 2 days before surgery good luck!

yay congrats!

Hubby had his without tomatoes, we ran out lol. He said it was still good!

my doctor told me I needed to be on a 1200 calorie diet.... So far, so good. I've lost 8lbs! today for lunch I decided to make a turkey wrap..... So last night I went to the grocery store, bought my ingredients and made my hubby and myself some lunch.... 374 calories later, we are enjoying the healthiest most delicious turkey lunch wrap on the planet LOL Low carb smart & delicious tortillas= 80 calories (regular tortillas are as much as 150 calories!!!) Buddig turkey deli slices (90 calorie package, divided into one wrap for each of us= 45 calories) 1 small haas avocado (224 calories, 1/2 each= 112 calories) 1/2 tomato, cut into slices = 16 calories Classic ranch dressing (ONLY 1tbsp!) = 50 calories Lucerne Mexican four cheese blend (1/4 cup) = 55 calories Iceberg salad, lettuce = 10 calories. <---- AWESOME!!!!! Raw lemon juice 0.5fl oz = 4 calories Total calories = 374 first I heated up my tortilla for 10 seconds....cold tortillas are gross lol Second, I mixed 1/2 avocado with 1tbsp ranch and 0.5fl oz lemon juice. Next, I layered. Tortilla, avocado-ranch mix, turkey slices, lettuce, tomato, cheese and wrap it like a burrito and cut it in half. Finally, enjoy Hope you liked it as much as I did

Call your bs ca ppo medical advisor. I was originally denied, called my lady, told her how much I had struggled and she approved it that day!!!

I hope you get better :/

so I've been reading this book called the everything post weight loss surgery cookbook. It's got everything from before surgery to surgery diet foods to 'Ive hit a plateau, now what?' I'm so ready for surgery.... I feel so prepared..... I know it's going to be a swift kick in my behind once I get out of surgery when I realize I wasn't ready but until then I'm just going to go with I'm ready for this purchased all my sugar free jello, crystal lights and waters....I got sodium free broths just in case.... Protein packets will be purchased Friday, liquid vitamins will be purchased as soon as the doctor tells me what I need..... But I feel like something's missing????

Try bariatrics advantage. I had the same issue but these are the best I've tasted so far. My favs are chocolate and strawberry....buti haven't tried the others lol.

great job! I suggest not bing anymore jeans until you get to size 14.... You'll get there fast
