    Biotin how much

    Hi Penelope, I too take Armour thyroid. I guess I'll be asking my doc about the meds too. What did yours say?

    Got the Date!!

    Personally, unless it's an immediate family member getting married, I'd go for the surgery.

    Biotin how much

    Sandie, I was wondering some of the same things. Also,...if you are supposed to take meds/vitamins with a meal, how are you supposed to swallow them without drinking anything?

    Month and a half til surgery... Newbie

    I run my mouth a lot, does that count? No, seriously, I've been to a few support group meetings and people there have told me that you'll soon have so much energy that you'll wonder how you did without exercising. I hope they're right.

    I am new to this site :)

    Welcome Damienlexington! I attended my first session on April 24th and met my surgeon on July 26th. I meet with him again on the 26th of October and we will (hopefully) discuss a surgery date then. We are shooting for the end of November.

    Tomorrow is my Psych Eval...

    AmericanBrandy, I agree with Karenina. I had mine last month and it wasn't so bad even though I was pulled over by the police right in front of his office. Talk about nervous! I had run a stop sign. I had to go to a big city that I wasn't used to and just didn't see it. Oh well. I did o.k., I'm...

    Hey 1step! Having a pretty good day. It's hard to think about anything other than our upcoming surgery isn't it?

    Hi, Mergatroid here. We are at the same weight now and you are a little farther ahead in this journey than I am. It will be interesting to see how we do. I wasn't told to do the liquid diet thing. You've lost 22 pounds already, so why the diet?

    New, Hopeful, and Nervous

    37 lbs!!! You should be very very proud of yourself! 37 lbs gone even before the surgery! That is wonderful. I see great things for you in your future. Best of luck to you and keep us updated.

    Anyone else love to make quilts?

    A block exchange? How does that work? I love quilts. I've made a couple of patchwork ones, though I'm not very good at it. I keep collecting fabric but then get overwhelmed at where to start. I've had to force myself not to buy anymore until I do something with all that I have. I guess I'll have...

    Wow, this site has a lot to offer. I am a little slow in the computer department, so if I don't get back to you right away it's because I am trying to figure this all out. Have a wonderful day.

    My journey For "ME"

    Wow 1step, sounds like you had a wonderful day. I'm envious. It's good to practice the chewing and the water intake. I have been doing that for almost three months now and between that and cutting out all flour and most sugar (check out the "Wheat Belly book") I have lost 21lbs. It wasn't...

    Bucket List

    I would like to dance with my hubby, and buy a leather jacket to wear on our motorcycle. Sounds stupid now that I write it. I just want to feel good.

    What's the best day of the week to have your surgery?

    Thanks for posting this. I hadn't thought about that. I'll keep that in mind when scheduling my surgery. I had an operation scheduled for 11:30am once and brought a muffin in for my doctor to eat beforehand. I didn't want him having shaky hands during my operation. He laughed, but ate it anyway.
