I'm going to make a turkey with the fixins' for the family, that way we will have some leftovers for them while I'm starving..lol

I use them and they are really good. You can find them on bariatriceating.com. My favorite flavor is Caramel Latte and Peanut butt Cup. I also have Blueberry Cheesecake, Banana, Strawberry White Chocolate and Pumpkin. You can mix in water, different milks and even coffee.

    @@Tssiemer1 ~ at my last group class with Ivan and Erika, we were told we have a private room and a bed for one overnight guest if necessary. I told my husband and he said he would stay with me. I probably won't be much company for him, but hey if he wants to stay I'll be happy to have him wait on me ... Lol @@MollyF22 ~ do you know if we are able to mix our pre-op shakes with milk? The shakes I drink are about 210 calories when mixed with 2% milk. I can reduce the calories by using skim or 1% but I like the taste of 2%. You can also mix the shakes I use (Inspire) with water but they don't taste as good.

    Had my second to the last appointments today. Next week I have pre-op nutrition class and start my two week pre-op on 4/15. Can't believe it's April tomorrow.

    @@MollyF22 we are FB friends. I am also on the gastric sleeve page. I've seen your post on there ....lol. On FB I'm Lisa Poe Bloomer. Good job on the weight loss. Are you still on liquids or have you moved to puréed? Can you believe it's been a month already? I am leaving for FL today (not Disney yet) and can't wait to get to the beach. This is the last time I'll ever be this big at the beach. Hopefully the sunshine will increase my vitamin D levels. The beach is my happy place. Be sure and post your loss after you weigh.

    So I got the call today, surgery is scheduled 4/29 that was the first available date. I'm glad to have surgery scheduled but disappointed it's not for 2 more months. I was told Dr. Thompson had more availability when I initially started but now it appears he's busier than Watkins. I asked about switching surgeons and was told I'd have to go through precert again. Frustrating! I was hoping to have lost some significant weight for our trip to Disney in June,. I gotta look at the bright side I guess, what's 2 more months?
