    Hello Nora bam bam that weight is already coming off lady you are doing it. You are an inspiration to all of us and I thankyou. My surgery is November first. I can't wait. Your going down hill just know it gets better from here soon all your energy will come back and you'll be doing things as if you were a teenager again. I wanted to say thankyou for doing one of the most underappreciated professions there is and thats being a teacher. To me teachers should be paid alot more and surely alot more appreciated and I thank you. Good Luck

    Surely sounds like you've been a busy bee! That's awesome that you lost so much weight on pre-op! What was your pre-op diet? Did you have to do liquid? Having all your stuff in order is such a good idea... I need to jump on that plan, big time. I'm so excited for you!

    Yeah, I went down to Houston for a long weekend. I had so much school work to do, though... so it was tough to balance my work with trying to spend as much time with him as possible, ya know? But what is a busy girl to do? :P

    Hey Pretty Lady!

    I'm so sorry I haven't been around lately. This summer session will be over in a few days, and even though I'm attending the second summer session, too, I'm expecting to be around a lot more.

    Regardless of me not being around, I remembered that tomorrow is the big day for you! So, of course, I had to come give you support! You've been on my mind, and I'll be thinking about you all day tomorrow, too. I know you're going to do great!

    Check in as soon as you can! <3

    I just saw a commercial for Dr. Zizi on tv. It was a lapband commercial though, so I didn't realize that he does the sleeve, too. I've been dealing with Dr. Sartor so far, but I haven't made a final decision. My insurance won't pay for it either, so I'm having to pay out of pocket, as well. For Dr. Sartor's part and the hospital stay, the charge is $12,900. If you don't mind me asking, what does Dr. Zizi charge?

    Ha! Yeah it is! Have you been sleeved yet, or are you still working on it, like me?

    Hi ncaburke! I noticed you were from north Louisiana. I'm in Monroe; what part are you in?

    Welcome to the board and congratulations on your decision to have the gastric sleeve.

    I have a few suggestions. For a clear protein, I suggest Protica Profect 50. It is a whopping 50 grams of protein in a 3.2 oz vial Protica - Detail

    For a really great tasting protein powder, I suggest Max Protein. You can purchase at GNC or online. SEI Pharmaceuticals

    To keep track of your calorie intake and measurements and weight. FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal This is really useful when you think you've stalled on your weight loss. You can look at what you actually measure!

    This blog - theworldaccordingtoeggface She posts some great recipe's and suggestions.

    I was on clear liquids for a week, full liquids for another week, puree'd foods for a week, soft foods for a week and then slowly moved on to regular foods while still including the previous foods into my daily food intake. Just don't get ahead of yourself. Take small sips and then small bites. Don't be in a big hurry to eat whatever you want.

    In the forum check out this section for suggestions: Gastric Sleeve Diet, Recipes, and Nutrition
    Keep a positive attitude and you will do great!
