Omg Omg Omg Omg Omg Omg - I Got A Date!

I am still breathless with excitement...and fear. Oct 22 I am getting sleeved! It kinda sucks that it is the day after my birthday' date=' so clearly no food or alcohol based celebrations... but clearly, food and alcohol based celebrations are WHY I am 100lbs overweight, right?

I keep - literally - pinching myself to see if this long wait is almost over. I started the program at Kaiser Permanente in November of 2011. And now I have a date. Wow. I am almost giddy.[/quote']

Mine is scheduled on my birthday. I guess we get a head start on our new lives. Good luck!

My surgery is the same date! I went for my first appointment in April then had a long think about it then booked last week. What's the programme you had to do?

Can you add sugar-free flavored extracts to vanilla shakes for variety?

At Target, near the coffees, I saw extracts (guess they put them in coffee) but why not in shakes! Different flavors like pumpkin spice...

Are they sugar free? Where do you find sugar free extracts?

If you put a Protein Shake in a blender with lots of ice, can it turn into a coolata or frosty like drink? Anyone try this?
