Chris I can believe you are sipping water .... but quietly!!! nooooooooo lol you're too much fun to be quiet ~ Gentle Hugs ~ wait for me on the losers bench please, only 6 more days!! Kate You guys save a spot for me I'm hoping my surgery date is early September to give me time to prepare and lose more weight tho i dont really have a preop diet except for the day before and that is liquids only....oh yea and Im waiting on insurance approval but until then im living vicariously through you all and learning

@@chimboree26 if you dont mind me asking why are you getting a revision to the band, i had originally planned to have the band but my doc said it would be beneficial as i would not lose enough weight

I am making my to do list and one of the things I am struggling to identify is the best Vitamins to get. The NUT suggested Flintstone vitamins, but what about the Calcium Citrate and what did anyone else do in terms of B-12 meaning monthly doc shots or oral. Help any suggestions or ideas. Thanks

I would be interested please let me know what you have and how much you charge

Good question, very good question, I have mentioned to my boss that I am plannig on having the surgery only because we work very close but I dont want it to go any further than that and I havent mentioned to him that I dont want anyone else to know because as you said it is my personal business. Currently I am the largest person in the office and this does nothing for my self esteem but I push on and Im so excited and so nervous about this new journey in my life I really dont want any distractions before my surgery.

@lorralei thanks for the info and I have been looking for Protein shakes ideas and suggestions I have heard of so many on hear such as the Syntrax and unjury I guess its all in what I can really handle

I'm new here as well and from the Atlanta area closer to Stone Mountain I dont have a date yet as I have one more test to complete before things are sent for approval. So I'm just taking in all the informaiton I can get to better prepare my self and to surround myself with as much support as I can get. Congrats to you all that have lost weight

You'll be fine God got you :-) speedy recovery

Congrats

@@xslimjenx good luck and keep us informed on how you are doing

I'm in Atlanta and I know how it is to not have anyone to talk to about it don't get me wrong my family it totally supportive but they are not really interested when I want to vent or Ive read something interesting or exciting on here Ive started working out and trying to get in a habit of tracking what I eat they dont really understand why Im starting before I even have a date Ive even had to remind my husband that he is supposed to be supportive

I too am from the Atlanta area I am surprised there aren't more from the Atlanta area on here

I could use a buddy as well I'm new here and one more test to be completed before my docs are submitted to my insurance company

@@Seminolegirl glad you came through surgery well wishing you a speedy recovery....now on to the weightloss

Thank you everyone this is great information and the picture definitely helped

I'm just beginning my journey I have one more test to complete before everything is sent for approval, i have just begun reading the forum to get other peoples perspectives and hear how their journey is going like to know if there are any Atlanta folks here
