I have been wondering that too. I would LOVE to have my mocha Monster. It may be a while, but I will ask my Nut what she thinks. I will try and get back as soon as I have a responce!

How wonderful! Great news!

I have my accounts linked, but I am not seeing any of the fitbit data on my MFP records. I dont get it.

Hooray! I am June 5th!

Donna, Will you be my friend? lol. Thanks for posting all that. I wasn't sure what all it was for either. Just knew I have to take it.

Yes, here it is: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/forum/80-the-clothing-exchange/ Some times these forums are hard to find! LOL! I am interested, sending you an e-mail now. THANK!!

I was asked once, and I was lighter then than I am now! Although I felt bad inside, I had a hard time being angry at the sweet lady. I often think that I look it now. I have a LOT of stomach weight, and not much boobage. So I end up wearing the "babydoll" style blouses often. (Thanks, Lane Bryant, for not carrying anything else more flattering. ) I just try and avoid seeing myself in the mirror now.

Most likely, but INHO, it doesn't hurt to start taking them. B-12 is gret for energy, and can take 2-4 weeks to start feeling the effects. When in doubt, call your doc!

WELCOME TO THE JUNE CLUB!! Congratulations!

@babybearsmum, thanks for introducing yourself! Looking forward to getting to know all of you as we lose together!

I think it may end today, but I stopped in to GNC to check out prices. They are letting you join their gold membership free!! Saved me some cash on protien powder and shakes! Woohoo!!!

Oops...getting sleeved in Dallas. Apparently I dont know where I am going. :/

Im up in Waco, getting sleeved in June in Waco!

Unfortunately, you cannot get to the Social Groups using the app. You can access the June 2013 VSG Support Group FOrum by clicking on the FORUM tab, then scrolling down til you see Monthly VSG Support Groups. This is sort of the same thing, but in the Social Group in Community, we have the ability to mass message each other and such. I hope they add a Groups button to the app at some point. Would be nice. HINT HINT to the admins lurking. lol.

For anyone with a June 2013 surgery date, we have a social group! Hover over COMMUNITY up there at the top of the website screen, then click on SOCIAL GROUPS. On the top right, there is a big black button that says JOIN GROUP. Others have resported problems joining. I assure you this is an OPEN group to join. No need to be approved. If for some reason you cannot join, please let me know on this thread, and I will send you an invite to join. Those of you who have joined, please invite any others that may not know about the group yet. next week, I am hoping to hunt down other June peoples...thanks to our mighty friend that made the list of dates for the month! Thank you, and so sorry for those of you who are having issues with the joining process. I'm working on it!!! Museum-Mama

I will send you an invite. Seems lots of peeps are having troble joining, and I dunno why. It's an open forum/group! :/ Guess I will have to have a chat with the admins. lol

How fantastic for you!!! You're my hero. Yes, I did say that. I should clarify that I meant when my son is on summer break with his dad. Lol. So sorry for the confusion.

Joiin the June Sleevers group. That is what we are here for.

hmmm....well, for me, on June 4 it will be "One Day More" from Les Miserables. lol. when I was working out, I was really pumped by "Cherry Lips (Go Baby GO) by Garbage...even though its about a boy that dresses like a girl. It was more about the fun music, and the thought that no matter who you are you can be ROCKIN! lol. So I may pick that one again.

Thank you! i am dreading the pre-diet more than I am the surgery. lol

I will be...on June 5. My gallbladder IS acting up and has been for some time. Not stones, just over production, then it stops working for some time, then again with the over production and pain. I am not sure if I am more excited about the little sucker coming out or the sleeve happening. lol. You may have to remind me in a month, but I will let you know what all happens and how it goes.

My Nut recommends powder/shakes that are at least 24g Protein and less than 10g Carbs. So I picked up a sample of their new GNC Protien Lean 24, and then some GNC Performance Pro. Both met those requirements and were actually less than 5g Carbs. They are 100% whey Protien, and there are lots of flavors...even unflavored. I found that this route is a bit cheaper than anything else locally. Even Sam's was pretty high, and didn't have much of a selection. Our's is pretty little and no Cosco here. Gotta get ready for the pre-op diet that starts next week. EEK!
