FYI-this is even awesome without the cocoa!!

That statistic sounds really super high to me. What surgery are you having?

@@realrawuncutsleeve check back in after appt and let us all know how it went, and what we can expect. Have a great day!

I knew last spring I wanted the sleeve surgery, so I promptly quit smoking (cold turkey, I might add), attended a free seminar, told my PCP, and started the 6 months of supervised Dr weigh ins (that's all it truly is anyway). Scheduled and completed a sleep study, and got my cpap machine. Got my 5 years of weight history from my OBGYN, Got my documentation together of all the failed diets I've ever been on (thanks to my 85 year old MOM who journals everything I tell her) Printed off my bank statements showing I paid for YMCA, Weight Watchers and Nutrisystem in the past 2 years. Now I wait for January 2nd where I will call my new insurance co, enroll in the bariatric program, and call the surgeon for an appt. I understand he will then schedule my EGD, pshych eval, and NUT visit. Luckily I had friends at work who went through this, and told me what I would need to do. I hope that I am prepared enough to get this done in January or February!! Cross your fingers and toes!

@@crystalmaries That figure sounds pretty accurate.

I'm almost certain it is standard procedure at the center I will be using...from what my friends have told me.

Ok. No longer worried about this. So many other things to worry about. lol Thanks ladies!

Thank you, neighbor! lol That is a relief!!

Nothing wrong with being focused on you. YOU are WORTH it!

Blend the squash and hide it in something he likes to eat! Thats how I get my husband to eat it. I blend it and put it in spaghetti sauce.

Congratulations, @@queenvh4! You are an inspiration!

Your posts sound a little like you are bouncing off the walls! lol I can imagine I will be just as excited as you are today. If you order the GENEPRO from Amazon, I got it delivered in 3 days. I was shocked that it really and truly has no taste. I tried the unjury unflavored in my oatmeal, and had to throw it away. It had a horrible after taste. I even tried holding my nose to eat it, and nope, couldn't do it. I'll be following you to see what kind of Vitamins are suggested, as I haven't looked into those yet. I may just purchase them from my surgeons office. Take care, and try to calm down! HA!!

@@VSGAnn2014 This is true.... what you said above. Only a percentage, and an accountant could tell you for sure.

unflavored unjury was nasty

Genepro unflavored. It really and truly is flavorless. I add it to crystal lite. It can be added to everything!

I've tried Isopure, and didn't like it. I got some Genepro-unflavored off Amazon, and it's 40gms of Protein per table spoon. I mixed it in my Water bottle with crystal light peach tea, and I could only taste the peach tea!!! I found the ONE!!!

Oh, and disregard my ticker....I just figured out how to add one, but I don't have a date yet

YES!!! Keep those receipts!! We're getting so old, and paying everything off, that we need all the deductions we can get! HA!

I like the strawberry sorbet the best!

OMG!! lol I was almost screaming STOP!! You're going to kill yourself!! Then I read the rest of it. whew! nearly called 911 on your a$$!! lol

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!

I just ordered some Syntrax nectar in Cookies and cream, and unflavored GENEPRO off amazon. I saw some really awesome reviews on these. Of course I got them to stockpile, as I can't even enroll in the bariatric plan till 1/2/15, but you better believe, I'll be calling at 8am bright and early to get this party started!!

@@kcsaab Hope all went well! let us know how you are doing!

You also can weigh holding your purse (& 5lb ankle weights work like a dream!) They don't do a purse check.
