Well, just imagine being the one to write the $4 million post! LOL That would be a dream come true to finally win something! I have never won anything in my life & I am nearing 60! Although with all this weight that I have lost, I sure do NOT look anywhere near 60. YAY me! Let's do this people.. WHO will be # 4 Million?

Can this be used as a protien shake? I have tried these before & they are great tasting! The chocolate one has 17 grams of protien per shake.... http://www.shakeology.com/

Medicaid will also NOT pay for anything

My lung doctor called me yesterday & said my results from the "pulse-ox" test didn't come back good.. So he say's at this time NO surgery approval. I am so upset, I have done everything I am suppose to do. All I was waiting for was the results from this test. He says my lungs won't survive the surgery. REALLY??? I was under the impression that this surgery was going to cure me from diabetes, & my lung problem... I have one more chance to see if my lungs will pass the test... I don't know what to do at this point.. Very upset & cannot quit crying , all I want to do is eat stuff i'm not suppose to eat...

Thank you, I wish you luck also. I will be praying for you to come thru this surgery well..

Thank you everyone! I will start the lung exercises today. No I didn't even think to ask him what I could do to inprove my lung capacity, I was so upset. But I will call him on Monday & find out.

I am having mine done at Fountain Valley Regional Hospital, in Fountain Valley....very nice to have someone close by

where do you live in Cali? I live in Midway City, (between Huntington Beach & Westminster)

Yes hon I did leave that blank. I also do NOT have a date yet

For myself I will be using Vitamin 'E' for the scars.. it has always worked for me.. as far as the shakes go, If my insurance co. will pay for them I will use them

I am wondering where do I get the "weight ticker tape" thing to track my progress?/...Thanks

Awesome Jacileggs!! you are doing great

Thank you ladies, that really bites, cause I LOVE Shakeology.. thanks

Thank you very much great explanation!!

Chocolate has 6 grams of sugar, strawberry has 7 grams of sugar

WHY do we need 'calcium Citrate"?

Bariatric Advantage also has raspberry & lemon & caramel chews I just had all 3 & they are really good!!

Oh Ok, then my doctor will tell me when I have to do this?

What is the "Liver shrink diet"?

I am making better choices in my eating regime for now. I don't have a date yet either. All I have left is my psych eval..& I am good to go...I don't eat anything 'white' bread,flour, sugar etc. I also eat NO potatos of any kind. Nothing fried, only baked..& water lots & lots of water, oh! & I also add lemon juice to my water...good luck hon in your loss.

I just found out last night that if you answered the qauestionerre in the beginning, that yes you were abused as a child, surgery is an automatic NO! They will make you go thru months & months of psychiatric care....so NOW I am not sur if I will get my surgery soon or not, I do NOT remember how I answered that question. BUT I have already had 10 yrs. of therapy. Don't know if that counts or not..

No nothing yet I am gonna call them on Monday if I don't hear anything by then..

AWESOME!! I am still witing for the call..
