My before pics and one picture of me after losing 120 pounds in 2007 (which is probably close to what I will look like after I lose again) are on my blog, here is the link to the page that has photos:

Jana, we are built just alike! Nice to see another apple! Let's keep in touch through this, OK?

I put up a preop album... It is hard seeing myself this big... But I have to see where I am coming from... Less than six weeks to go.

4 weeks and 5 days to be exact, but whose counting!????

Me! After waiting eleven months for insurance to approve (took hiring an attorney to get there) and another month and a half because, you know, the holidays (!) I finally have a date: February 10. Dr. meeting is January 15. Scared to death but wish it was tomorrow because I wouldn't have time to worry about it.

Hello! Can I join in on the fun? Got scheduled for February 24th today. It's finally happening! It's been a year of struggle. Finished my testing today and will see my pcp for medical clearance next week! Do not have my pre op appointment scheduled yet, but I am just so excited to finally have a date. This is happening! I'm ordering some sample packs of Protein and Vitamins tomorrow. My pre op diet starts 2/10. I need to get ready. It's great to 'meet' you all.

It IS tough to take those pics! But I think they will be very important to us later. I am scheduled for Feb 4, so I will be one of the first Feb Sleevers. I promise to post as soon as possible, and I will be completely honest about the experience. No sugar coating (and I hope no over exaggerating about pain levels levels). I just love this forum, it is starting to feel like an extended family!

OK, what about post-VSG Vitamins? What is everyone pre-buying?

[triplenmomma 21]

Pictures are tough. I have some picures in my gallery from when I started this journey last Feb. I will be taking more during my pro op appointment. I've thought about blogging my experience. It would help keep me on track. Excited and nervous! There are many of you in earlier Feb, so I look forward to hearing about your experiences.

I started looking at my Protein powders and Vitamins last night. I think I'm going to go with Celebrate at first, only getting 30 days worth to be sure that they sit well with me. I need to find a Fiber I like as my doctor has me on that also. I hate the Fiber drinks, and can't imagine drinking that thick stuff after surgery. I take fiber capsules now due to my Crohn's, so maybe I'll just mix them with pudding or something.

Syntrax is on sale on vitacost right now, but I found Amazon to be cheaper than even the '45% sale' prices. I think I'm going to do Syntrax nectar in lemonade and fuzzy navel, and then Premier Protein RTD for my Protein shakes. I need to find an unflavored that I like to mix with broth now.

That's my plan. What is everyone doing for Protein?
