Thanks Guys! I appreciate it. Loving the popsicles and Jello. and tea. Isopure, I just cannot tolerate. A friend told me about nectar Grab N Go. Mix with Water and really good. I ordered some of the fuzzy naval - they had great reviews on Amazon. In case anyone is interested. Have a good night!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@thikkay - I so know those feelings and I hate them! I start my preop diet in 3 days and surgery is on 11/10. Can not wait! Good luck!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You all are so helpful -- thank you!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@ Clementine Sky, thanks for the info. Makes sense and I hope I lose slowly enough to not have loose skin. I want to lose 85-100 lbs. and I'll be happy with slow weight loss because I'm not going anywhere, so it can come off steadily. I will try everything to prevent it. I'm sure weight training helps too. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Shelliluv, congrats! How are you doing? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon is the Director at Marina Del Rey Hospital, Dr Jeremy Korman, an excellent surgeon and pioneer of this surgery. It's my insurance that is requiring me to have surgery at Cedars. I do love Cedars so it's all good. I'm excited!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi stacyrg2. I'd love to be able to text or message with you! Wow 130! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Don't listen to him. How rude! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm in Culver City, VSG is scheduled for 11/10 at Cedars. I would love to be in touch with someone local . I have less than 30 days to go and I'm a little panicked that I haven't lost any weight since my initial consult in July. I am now gearing up for the pre-op diet, and am starting now so I can have some more time to get used to new new relationship with food. I'm nervous about loose skin. Any advice on what, if anything, I can to help prevent or minimize it? I'm 5'7, weigh 255. Eeks! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow, Your story IS inspirational and I am going to remember it when I am recovering. Surgery on 11/10. I've gone back and forth about questioning my decision -- people trying to talk me out of it, skeptical that it won't work in the long run. I know food is an addiction and I am going to treat it as such. Thanks for that! Looking forward to hearing more about your journey!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
