I am a type one diabetic so I feel like I'm stuck with insulin shots for life. No matter what size I am, I have to take insulin because my body does not produce much. It would be great to get off of it!

I get to meet him next week when he comes to Houston and I can't wait! I'm blessed I get to meet him before my July date!

Ok so I've been trying out frappuccino recipes because I love me a cafe vanilla frap on my way to work. I finally got it right! Here it is: To make coffee take instant regular or decaf and make as strong as u like with hot Water then let cool. I took 8 ounces and added 5 tbsp instant coffee, this will last for more than one frappuccino . You add as much as you want to the mixture below. To the coffee mixture , Add 1/3 cup sugar free vanilla syrup and 1/4 cup real vanilla extract. Take a 16 ounce cup and fill to top with ice , then take 8 ounces of sugar free fat free vanilla creamer and place in blender. blend until smooth. I topped mine with fat free whip and it tastes awesome!

I have. Once I start my pre op I'm sure I will thanks !

will work on it

Wow sorry 8 ounces of water to 5 tbsp instant coffee. Sorry I don't re read my threads lol

I know a person who's had a sleeve for six years and couldn't be happier.

Sorry maybe I should've checked that out before I said what I said. Sorry ;/ . Oh and btw I'm going to Mexico too and I'm not scared. I'm from Palestine, if I can handle that then any other city or state doesn't scare me

Houston or new Orleans ? There's nothing scary about these two cities. I live in Houston and basically new Orleans too, my boyfriend lives there and I'm always there, LOL! That was funny but these places r not scary ?!?!

I know someone who did it six years ago and they r doing great and maintaining well. If u do research u will find out its been around for a long time.

Awesone ! Keep us updated! I'll be there in July !!

Awesome suggestions, keep em coming

Im having my VSG July 7th and wanted to know how everyone got mentally prepared for some inspiration. My sister today told me something's that really got to me and upset me and I faced reality and told myself that today I'm making a change. I'm going to stop making excuses and give myself a head start mentally and physically and I feel better already. I stopped the diet soda but I want to be prepared in my head and I'm stressing. I feel somewhat prepared but I need advice please!! Thanks guys!

Thanks Lauren great advice!

Would some of you who eat 5-6 times a day share a sample menu ? I was told to eat three meals and two snacks but like others have said , we eat so small that some can't tell a difference. And I'm yet to be sleeved. Thanks everyone

Any ladies have this problem? So I got off the depo shot a year ago and since then I feel like im constantly gaining weight. I'm getting my sleeve in June, but I'm so frustrated. I made a doctors appointment. All my blood work came out normal and my thyroids are good. Anyone know how long it takes to get the depo out of ur system or if anyone thinks it really messes with ur hormones that much and makes u gain weight that quickly? I watch what I eat most of the time but no where to where I would gain as much as I have... So irritating

You're a very strong woman and it looks like you're doing great! That is awesone and women like you are very inspirational. God bless and keep being who you are.

Ok so my doctor told me that I'm good and I can keep in my IUD ... Wooh!

Really? First time I heard that, thank you

Houston too!

I'm going to Alvarez in July. He's a bit more expensive than everyone else , but for me it was about quality and experience and my gut feeling... Lol.

Thanks I'll ask my doctor.

I used some brand from my local grocery store, nothing fancy when it comes to protein powder as long as it was vanilla.

1/4 of a cup

I have the non-hormal IUD that's y I was asking
