Count me in! Starting 221 Goal 195

This is all such great info!! Thank you all for responding !!

Hahahah who doesn't?????

That is awesome!!! Congrats!

I haven't discussed it with my sugeon yet but I can do 11 days. That's it. LOL. Considering I came home from a c-section in 48 hours and walked up a flight of stairs and took care of my son alone everyday until I went back to work, I think this should be fairly easy. What's up Wonder Woman!!!! Hahah

So let's talk about rehabilitation time.... I have seen people taking a month, two weeks, 5 days... What do your surgeons recommend?

So I keep going back and forth wether or not to tell my job? You just use vacation... As if nothing happened. Any thoughts? Have you told your employer?

That is exciting!!!! You can do it!

How is are all of your journey's going? Any exciting updates??

Good to know! Thank you for the info!

Which premier flavor do you like the best? Vanilla or Chocolate??

You can purchase them at Unjury.con $9.95 2x chicken Soup 2x chocolate 2x vanilla 2x strawberry Sorbet 2x unflavored Beverage thermometer Rubbermaid shake bottle I think thought it was a great way to sample them! It shipped super quickly too!

I received my unjury samples... I ordered them after someone recommended them to me as being "nut" free... Well the vanilla and strawberry sorbet were awesome! This morning I went to try the Chocolate and wah wah.. It has tree nuts as ingredient! ... Anyone else have any suggestions for "nut" free shakes, powders, etc?

Hi Sandy, I just started the process on June 12th! That is great the you have already taken a conscious effort to give up smoking and carbonated beverages!

That is awesome! I hope mine goes as smoothly! I had my first appointment June 12th, Psych Eval June 18th, first weight mgmt meeting June 23.. Two more weight mgmt meetings July, August and hopefully approved for September surgery

Congratulations!!! How long did your approval process take with BcBS Tx?

I have made a ton of drastic changed in my eating habits and I am happy to report no has been hurt .... Yet.. Hahah

@sleevemetoo I tried the Muscle Milk Meal Replacement shake this morning. It was actually pretty good! You might check it out.

Happy Monday everyone! Does anyone have anything WLS related going on this week? I have my first weight mgmt meeting on Tuesday. Plus, drumroll please.... I removed all unhealthy food and Snacks from my pantry and donated them to the food bank, this weekend. New slate!

How are things going in your journey?

I am brand new to this journey having my first Dr. Visit today! To prepare for the visit I have been combing through feed, after feed on this forum. You are all so inspiring and I love the information and stories that you all share! When did it hit you that you CAN and WILL loose all the weight?? I am having a hard time even considering I could possibly loose this weight and win a long fought battle with my body. I am a fairly confident woman except when it comes to my weight...

I just purchased their sample pack, it will arrive on Tuesday! I cannot wait!

You can do it! Just keep thinking of why you are doing this! The health improvement! The lifestyle improvement!!

Good luck!!

So i had a minor defusing of my WLS bubble yesterday. (It is not a pop... A little air was just let out) I went in for my Psych eval and while I am happy to report I am psychologically normal, the psychiatrist would not sign off on weight loss surgery just yet. I have to go back for another appointment in four (4) weeks. He said he did not feel like I was mentally prepared for WLS and that I needed to consider possibly reducing my extra curricular activities to prove I am committed to taking better care of myself... After contemplating it, it makes since that this surgery will be life altering and that I cannot continue to live the daily life that I am living because I will keep getting the same results. I expected my diet to be changed drastically but I have never considered my schedule. I am committed to make any necessary changes that I need to make, I was just taken back by all of this. (Am I not prepared? Am I over analyzing this?) Any thoughts or comments?
