Hey angelic 1, check out our matching tickers :biggrin: lol, we have exact same starting BMI and goal BMI te he he, just though I'd point that out.

Hey Allison! We also have the same weight goals (I just figured out how to display that info...)!

Haha thats so funny! Judging on the same BMIs I'm guessing your 5'2 as well???

[miles2empty 0]

Yes, I can't wait for May 22nd to be here already. The last few days I've been craving fast food a lot (random, haven't had it in awhile), and its like mega willpower not to have any. Oh well, this too shall pass, right?!?

I am getting soooooo excited and nervous too :crying:. Right now I'm in Florida, so I'm not thinking about it 24/7. When I get home my ticker will say 10 days :smile:...then I'll really start having butterflies!!

You're right behind me. I'll cheer you on after I have the procedure.....

I'm jealous of you because you are so young and are taking this step now. I wish that I did this 20 yrs ago, but it was practically unheard of here 20 yrs ago.........

my closest safeway is about 30 min away from me...but if the shakes are that good, i'll drive to get them! :crying: I've also heard the shakes at trader joes are really good...has anyone tried those?

[Allison 2]

I've heard the ones at "Trader Joe's" were good, I had never heard of that place before though, I hope they have some around here. New England gets excluded from every chain! Oh man there are 1000s of really pissed off people that really really want to eat at a Cici's pizza or a Jack in the Box or a Sonic, they play the commercials on all the channels!!! But alas, there are none for hundreds and hundreds of miles, my friends and I keep checking their websites lol :rolleyes2:

I found a trader joe's! Theres actually a bunch in Mass! Theres one in the cape, one way out in western MA, and then a bunch near Boston, the closest one is in Hanover (I know only people from New England are probably getting these references) which is about an hour from my house, maybe if I need to go up to Boston sometime I'll check it out.

omg allison trader joes is my favorite store ever! they have all kinds of natural foods, but they all taste really good. and they have an awesome frozen section. the closest one to me used to be in seattle (2 hrs away) but last year they built one in my town! :rolleyes2: i think they have the best food ever, and its not over priced.
