The stores here used to have a plus size section, I loved it. I've been ordereing from them on line for a few years. Their jeans fit me better than any others.

Good for you! That's great. I can't wait for that moment too.

I used to be in the Columbia House DVD club, I ordered it thru there. I"m sure Walmart or somewhere would have it.

I talked to my hair stylist about it, and she suggested using Nioxin shampoo/conditioner products as well as the biotin vitamins and such.

I bought one of those "Dancing with the Stars" workout DVD. I"m telling you, after learning one dance with "Max", he didn't look half as hot, and I was cussing him too. lmao

I'm not to far behind y'all, I start on Monday. I have tried a protein drink called "Lean Body, On the Go" at Walmart, in Vanilla Ice Cream flavor and it is veryyy good. I have a few more samples to try too, the GNC brand, and Unjury. But I may just stick to the Lean Body one, I like it.

Congrats! Wishes for a speedy recovery going your way!

I had mine on the 20th as well, but never had to have an EKG. Went the a 1.5 hr Q&A with the Pre-op Nurse who as totally awesome. Start my pre-op diet 10-1 as well... It's like we are surgery twins! hahahah ** I went out this weekend and bought a few different protein drinks to try. I am drinking one for breakfast today that I found at Walmart. It's called "Lean Body, on the go", Vanilla Ice Cream flavor, and it's YUMMY. 25g protein too.

I am sitting at the hospital, my pre op with the anesthiologist ( however you spell it) is at 11:30. It's really getting closer! I am getting so excited!

Oh thank you thank you for posting this. I was trying to decide how to make up for my iced latte addiction after surgery. lol

Yay!! I bet you are excited!! It's not far away at all. You'll do great. That is an awesome birthday present. I'm counting down til mine, 27 days.

I went through the same thing! Luckily, after they received the letter from my PCP, it was a day or two and I was approved. Hope you hear soon! Keep us updated.

The Turkey Bites are yummy! Have you tried the Snack slices? They come in a single serving pack, about 10 little slices to a pack. 60 cal, 3.5 g fat, 6 g protein.

Congrats to you both!! That is awesome. I can't wait til I get there!!

My Surgeon's office sells a brand of Turkey or Ostrich Jerky. They recommend it for protein. I will have to find out the brand.

I have been going thru the same thing with my feet. I bought the Dr. Scholls inserts, and a new pair of Nikes and it helps soooo much. Walked around an Apple Festival this weekend and my feet didn't hurt half as bad as they usually do.

Me tooo!! I loveeee Pinterest. I do alot of the craft/DIY projects on there.

Hi to the both of you and Welcome!! You will love it here, the people are awesome.

I had to do the 6month program too. Well I was doing 6 months, then Cigna changed there requirements to 3, but I was already in my 5th month. So, I only got done 1 month earlier. I think having to do the supervised, gives you time to change habits, learn as much as possible, go to support groups, and generally get in the mindset you need to start your new life. Good luck, you'll do great I'm sure.

Ok, now that sounds YUMMY!!

That is awesome! Congrats to you. Keep up the good work!!

I have a pre-op appt at the hospital (anesthesia, registrar, etc.), pre-op with Surgeon, Bone Density test, Group meeting with Nutrionist and a Group meeting with they Psychologist. Then start my liquid diet 10/5. Supposed to go on a "Girls' Weekend" trip the weekend I start my liquid diet, will be interesting. Does alcohol count on my liquid diet? hahahahahaha
