That's amazing . I'm so happy for you! I'm having those feelings right now haha . I'm so glad everything is going so good for you! Eases my mind alot
Good luck to you with the SlimTime. I found it tasted better when I added lots of ice. The last couple of days of the two weeks were the toughest for me but I got through it as I'm sure you will too.
I may be a lightweight but was remarkably unhealthy. Sleep apnea, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol and of course obese. I'm off all diabetic meds now and am hoping at my three month checkup to either be off of or at least have my meds reduced for blood pressure and cholesterol.
Best wishes to you in your journey and I hope your diabetes goes into remission too!
Hi - I have looked everywhere I can think of - but can't find how much I paid.
If I do I will reply again - sorry I can't be of more help

Good day everyone! Managed to get my walk in last night before it rained and this year I might even manage to get a tan since I'm outside everyday. Today looks rainy so it might end up being a stationary cycle and resistance band session indoors.
QOTD: Random question today but what are your favorite colours to wear in the summer months? Since I've had to buy quite a few items I'm noticing I must love red and blue. I don't think I own any yellow but I really like it on other people.
B - greek yogurt, blueberries
S - 1/2 protein shake
L - 2 chicken skewers
S - turkey pepperette
D - fresh perch possibly - otherwise an omelette with ham and mushrooms
S - SF pudding with skim milk powder
So encouraging to hear from people *****cently went through the entire process! Day 2 of Slimtime... hope my journey is as smooth as yours! I am a good patient - and intend to follow instructions to the letter - and other than being diabetic and fat, remarkably healthy considering my size. I have heard that about diabetes - it often goes into remission even BEFORE you've lost appreciable weight! One can dream! That is one of the primary reasons I'm doing this - a future with diabetes is frightening- thanks for sharing!
Sorry forgot to mention.......I feel great!
I had loads of anxiety and fear before surgery and did have a very rough first day home (gas pain).
That one day seems like a lifetime ago now and it's been smooth sailing ever since.
I'm so grateful that I was able to get this surgery and so happy my weight is moving in the right direction and my health improved immediately. My diabetes went into remission the day after surgery.
My first meeting was actually a Telehealth appointment so a Skype type of meeting at my local hospital. The nurse that set up the meeting took my weight and blood pressure which I think she faxed to the surgeon. The meeting mainly focused on details of my health and the surgery itself and ensuring I fully understood what would happen during the surgery. The appointment only lasted about 30 minutes.
Oh wow you're timeline was so smooth! I'm glad I'm reading how good they were which calms me alot. How was the first meeting with the surgeon? Did you get weighed or measured or have to do any further tests? How are you feeling now since it's been a couple months?thank you so much for the response
