If I get gassy all my helpers will go back home. Lol

Lol hshshaha gas hope I don't get gassy

I'm so dreading my liquid pre-op diet. You're doing great! Outside of those shakes what else r u drinking?

Sassy it's just my personality that I need to know why and for what lol. Drove my parents bonkers especially as a teen.

I'm making a note to add it for tax time. Thank you so much

It's on their website but more so geared towards the 6 month supervised diet fee which I totally have no problem with BUT when my insurance required me to do my 6 months through united health care healthy weight program I thought oh ok that fee doesn't apply to me. The coordinator at surgeon office said "well you would still need to pay that fee it will cover your 1 visit with nutritionist and lifetime group membership. I love my surgeon I'm 200% confident in her so I will be paying this fee on the 27th. I just thought $600 was steep considering it's totally out of pocket and not billable to insurance.

I just spoke with my friend in Maryland that was sleeved a couple months ago and hers have no fee either and lifetime group support sessions r free. I wonder if this is just an Atlanta thing. My insurance case manager said she's heard of a program fee being charged. $600 seems excessive but I will be paying it on the 27th.

Heyyyyyyy there Superfab! I'm happy things went well. You know waking up in a ton of pain is one of my worst fears. Glad they got that under control. You are officially a sleever...yayyyyyyyyyy

I planned to take a week off and work from home the second week and return to full duty that following Monday. Sassy: were you still pretty sore returning to work that early? My job is pretty sedentary.

That's great congrats on ur lost. Onederland is attainable for sure buy May if you continue working your tool. Great job, kudos to you!

Thank you I will definitely check it out!

Congrats to everyone that was sleeved yesterday. Skinny vibes and much success to u all!

GM superfab! My dear ur day has arrived and ur journey begins as a sleever. I know ur going to do well and can't wait to hear all about it.

Superfab I didn't see ur post until after I asked in the other board how ur feeling. I truly understand all ur concerns and will be praying for u.

Superfab...I see u changed that screen name lmbo. Good luck to u and pls keep me posted how ur doing. Any last minute jitters or just all excitement.

Good luck and sending skinny vibes to you!

Noor omg yes I thought it was just me but I thought the grape tasted and smelled like a nasty burp when gunk comes up with it. The apple melon was tolerable but still wasn't good to me. I didn't like the coconut either. All 3 I tried had a horrible after taste. 40 grams of protein for one bottle is great but apple melon so far is the only one I can FORCE myself to drink. I plan to try the nectar pink grapefruit and lemonade this week as they have received raving reviews.

Diner at Ruth Chris with my 2 favorite guys ( hubby & 19 year old son) yes We sharing a piece of our romantic evening with our son since he will be shipping out soon to boot camp in the Air Force. The rest hasn't been disclosed to me as the remainder has been left up to the husband to WOW me....LAWDDDD....hoping a beautifully wrapped Tiffany's box is apart of his bag of surprises. Lmbo

Premier Protein is good stuff. Sam's in Atlanta 18.99 for 12 pack. Cosco has a 18 pack for $24 and Premier website has a 24 pack for $37. I'm planning to try the Strawberry which in this area can only be purchased on the Premier website. I wonder how would the vanilla taste is I dumped it in my vita mixer with frozen fruit? I don't think I can do that post-op and I don't start my pre-op liquid diet until March 10th so I think right now that should be ok. Just looking to try something new with it lol.

How much r urs and what brand?

Yes ma'am and they say the Strawberry is heavenly if ur a strawberry fan. 24 pack on Premier website is $37

"Never trade what u want most for what u want at the moment" I know this is hard it's darn right tuff but uve come way too far. I truly understand that the struggle is real!!! Hang in there it's so worth it. Maybe take some alone time to ponder why uve chosen to embark upon this WLS journey, maybe view VSG before and after Picts that showcase other people success stories on UTube, or take some time and think about where u will be 3-6 months from now after surgery with ur new tool. I haven't started my pre-op diet yet and I'm not looking forward to it but when the time come I'm sure during that time I may need u to remind me of my own quote above. Hang in there u got this! We r all here for u and understand totally how ur feeling.

Yes ma'am Sandee I loved it. Online now trying to find the syntrax one u said u liked better than Unjury. Bariwise has a ton of products that seem great for pre & post op like amaretto hot chocolate with like 21-28 grams of protein for 1 cup. Only thing is it contains hydrolyzed gelatin which comes from a pig in most cases and I don't consume pork. I was sooooooo disappointed.

He loves a great steak so I'm paying for diner at Ruth Chris and purchased him a bottle of cologne. I had another great present to wrap in a beautiful red bow and present to him but that was rudely interrupted lol
