You've done good so far on weight loss! Are you doing the preop liquids? I am just a little over a week out and doing well, I'm just getting so bored with the liquids!...

LoneStar Roundup is a weekend of cars pre 1960 and pinups :) (I love both)
River season is actually in New Braunfels but people float down the Gaudalupe or Comal river on tubes and get plastered...

Welcome to Texas Mike! I have a feeling you will like Austin :) It's not hard to make friends there either.

Thanks everyone on the advice, I've looked quite a few places aside from online for the Unjury products but can seem to find them yet. I'm going to go on a scavenger hunt for some of the things I...

Thanks Dana for your perspective on the hcg! I agree but I am curious to find out the doctors stand point!

Thank you!
I'm not completely sure what the calcium citrate is benefitting, I need to read up. My surgeon didn't mention the chews.

Thanks Liliana! I was looking at the Bariatric Advantage site today because its who my surgeon recommends and I noticed they have lots of chews. Nice to hear they're not so bad... I'm not a fan of...

I have been curious and thinking the past few days if it would be too extreme to consider taking hcg while on the post op liquids?
