I buy it by the case at Luckyvitamin.com and it comes out to about $3.25 a bottle

So I just drank 10 oz of Magnesium Citrate and I have made it through the preop liquid diet and I am on the schedule for 10:45 tomorrow at U of Wisconsin Hospital following first making contact with them in August of last year. I'm excited, ready and at peace with my decision and really feel I have done all I can to be ready for this welcome change. I have learned so much from the boards and I wanted to say thanks again. I know we all are so different and so alike. I am just tired of letting my weight hold me back, restrict my life and influence virtually every decision I make, My time has come. We all have a ton of different reasons that we have a chosen this path. But no matter what those individual reasons are we all share the most important reason and that is we all want be better, better people, and we all feel like this surgery will make us better. So Good luck to all of you wherever you are in this journey Peace,Jim

10:45 am tomorrow morning at Univ of Wisconsin Hospital

"Don't confront me with my failures, I have not forgotten them" Jackson Browne I can not believe I am going to write again. I spent 3 or 4 years somewhat journaling my previous weightloss effort. That came to a screeching halt around 19 months ago. And now I am headed into the land of VSG. I am scheduled for surgery this friday, June 28th. I am having my surgery done at the University of Wisconsin Hospital. I made my first phone call about the surgery in August 2012. I had been diagnosed with some arthritis in my knee and my activity level came to a dramatic halt. I had found 70-80 of my old friends and knew I really needed to do this for me. I had no idea I would be waiting 9-10months to get it done. 6 months with the nutritionist. My first meeting with the Surgeon in late January. A new nutritionist. 3 group classes. You need to lose 25 lbs before we do surgery. That sleep study has a two month waiting list. Approval May 6th. Schedule surgery for June 28th and meet with the doctor forJune 6th. Oh yeah you better have lost that 25 lbs by then. Start trying to lose the 25 lbs...again. Spend June 3,4,5 fasting and come in under the number. One last class and an EKG, chest xray, and labs. Start the two week liquid diet. Six to seven slim fasts carnation breakfasts a day??? ick. Substitute some isopure and maybe some chicken and nuts every once in awhile. Hey it's now June 24 and this is really happening. Oh yeah I guess I better tell my mom That can wait until tomorrow. I have really only told a couple close friends and my volleyball teammates. everyone has been supportive. A few have asked questions. But no complaints from me about who I have told. My family, we shall see. None of them live within a 1,000 miles of me, and to their credit they have always been real supportive. I think I hesitated in telling them mostly because I don't want them to worry. So that's the condensed version of my story. Excited and grateful that I have learned so much from following and reading about your journeys. You guys will never know the help you have been. Best of luck to all of you Peace, Jim

I get isopure 40g fruit drinks from LuckyVitamin.com I do not like the chocolate vanilla style shakes but really find these drinks pretty good. Grape and orange are my go to

Depends, you going to be happy hanging with a guy that is in your friend's eyes is cute but who obviously is dumb, thinks it's ok to ask strangers for their numbers while telling them he thinks they're fat, and who is obviously a complete d-bag. No chance he hasn't done and said this to girls many times but like you said he is cute. I don't think you really need to ask yourself if your thoughts are wrong.

Tammi is really nice... Say hi to her for me ( Jim Trudeau ) I start my two week liquid diet on Saturday. My biggest delay was having to wait like two months to get in for a mandatory sleep study at UW sleep clinic. My Doc said about three months is the usual time from first meeting with them. I have not been to the support group because I have been playing vball on Monday nights but I am planning to go in July as I will be recently sleeved and not playing that night.

Good luck on your journey. I first contacted the UW last September and after 6 months of diet/nutrition I had my meeting in Janhuary with the doctor. Classes in March with Tammi. It was a long wait but glad the date is approaching. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.

Jackson Browne Running on Empty Everyone I know, everywhere I go People need some reason to believe I don't know about anyone but me If it takes all night, that'll be all right If I can get you to smile before I leave Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels I look around for the friends that I used to turn to pull me through Looking into their eyes I see them running too Running on-running on empty Running on-running blind Running on-running into the sun But I'm running behind
