FitnFabfor2014

I asked for ice chips and they said no, for the first night. Not until I have my leak test today. Oh why fun !!

Thanks for letting me know about that. I was wondering how long this would suck! Lol

I go to Costco!!! Vitamins are definitely cheaper and you get double the size. I buy my Protein shakes from Amazon.com or bodybuilding.com. both are very reasonable.

I joined a gym too! Balley! It's very affordable. Like you I am determined to make this sleeve work! I go 3x' s a week. I need to tone big time! I hate cardio, but I do 15 mins on the stair master and the rest lifting weights (30 mins), I LOVE the weights!!!

Thank you! I appreciate that!

​My day is finally approaching! My surgery is tomorrow, Tuesday, morning. I have to be there at 5:40am, my surgery is at 7:40am. I'm the first surgery of the day! I'm excited, nervous and all of the above! Here's to 7 months of waiting!!! No turning back now!

Thanks that happened to me too! I will check it out! Congrats Jatherley! I hope I can break through to the 100's soon!

Thanks! I've heard a lot about that! I will try my best !

I'm just hoping the pain isn't so bad I can't tolerate it!

Congrats, and have a safe and fast recovery I'm hoping for that and a painless one too . Thank you!

Thank you! I sure will! It's 3:13am and I'm wide awake!!

Thank you naomijane! When Is your surgery scheduled?

You're better than me. I called EVERY DAY!!! LOL

That was going to be my next question...if you worked out. You look toned for not working out. Congrats to you. I am hoping that I don't end up mushy!! LOL

Thanks for sharing Christie. How tall are you? I have my surgery on 01/07/14. How far after the surgery was the middle picture? You should be very proud of yourself. You look great!!

No, I don't.

I think I lost 10% of my weight just waiting for the approval. It is definitely a form of cruel and unusual punishment! I had to wait for what seemed like forever. It was exactly a week. I think they do it on purpose!!! Good luck. I hope you heard back soon.

Good luck! Sending positive thoughts ur way!

Good luck! I hope you get some good news soon!

My appointment is at 11:30am, We will just miss each other.

Amazing story mommytonya. It's unfortunate that you had to go through some of your journey alone, but you found your ground and you are stomping your way forward girl! Good for you. I'm sure the stress from your marriage did not help with your eating. Your husband probably saw the person he wanted to see. Maybe someone who he thought wouldn't leave because of their weight. While he did "his thing". His loss. Your gain......a brand new look, and a new start on life. More power to you. You can do it! I am also a single mother. It's in no way easy, but it's better than being in a bad relationship. You rock that body! And you live your life for you and your babies. You're amazing. Good luck to you (and I mean that girl)!

Hi Kiki, My doctor is Dr. Upadhyay. Who did you have your surgery with at Summit?

My Dr. is Dr. Upadhyay! Wow! What a small world!!!! I have my pre-op appointment with him on Thursday. I have heard nothing but good things about him. His office staff is amazing!
