Only a couple more days till your surgery.  You must be getting excited.  Wal mart was the cheapest I saw it to.  Ill have to order it online because its lore down here.  I wish you luck with your surgery.

Just curious, how long was your wait time for your surgery in Bathurst?

Just a bit of information to think about.  I've just recently celebrated my 3 year anniversary of the sleeve from Dr. Beausoleil on Feb 5th.

Before needing to do the 2 weeks liquid I thought I wanted to try it out to see how hard it would be.  So I bought some Diabetic boost as I figured that would be the cheapest way.  I did the boost for 5 days and while not impossible it was hard enough.  When it came time for the actual two week someone told me that the ordered products seemed thicker and gave you a fuller feeling than the boost.  So that is what I ordered and I am glad that someone informed me up front.

 

The Ordered shakes have a thicker more full feeling consistency than the boost.  I totally understand the savings from getting the boost but at what cost.  The ordered shakes are a bit more expensive but those two weeks of liquids are easier for you to do.  Personally, I think the bit of extra was money well spent.  I got the a mix of the shakes and the Bar's.  I enjoyed the shakes but felt the bars were like chewing sawdust.  however Ive heard from people who love the bars and hate the shakes.  All a matter preference.Hopefully some other have done the same and may be able to agree or disagree, all I can do is share my experience :-)

 

One more thing to remember it is a tool as they say and not a quick fix.  Back in October I got a wake up call that I had put on 30 pounds since my lowest and was edging towards 300 pounds.  My starting weight was 440 but Once I broke the 300 mark I swore Id never break it again.  I hit 299 and realized that bad habits do sneak back in and that it takes work.  Glad to say it's just 4 months later and I am at my lowest in over 20 years.  that wake up call put me back on the fast track to success.  Always important to be mindful and though it is just a tool watching what we put into our bodies while working out is the perfect compliment to the tool

 

Cheers

Henry

Thank you for the information Henry.  I will definitely keep that in mind.  I like hearing from people with their experiences :)
