them was because when hurricane katrina hit it wiped out all of the records and I wouldnt beable to provide documentation on them, which is the truth. I still can not get the documentation but I was able to get a letter from the district attorneys office saying that they were never accepted. none of that matters though my programs director chose to put me out as a punishment. some punishment huh!

Sorry I am just getting back to you but life has been rough. School isnt going well. They dismissed me from the program last week and I was the top student in the class. The reasoning was bc there were some traffic violations from when I was 18 that I failed to disclose on my paperwork to the board of nursing. I saw an attorney beforehand on the matter and the reason he advies me not to disclose

My Surgery is scheduled Dec 28th, which is Tuesday. I have been horrible with the pre op diet. Now I am nervous that I will have complications because of it. I guess I should have thought of this before now. I start my liquid diet tomorrow (48 hrs before surgery). I have 150+ pounds to lose to be at my ideal weight. Very long journey ahead of me. I know it is possible because I have followed some vsg's that had this kind of success, but I feel like I will be the person that stays fat. I am excited and nervous and I keep telling myself that after my surgery eating is something I will have control over. Is anyone else feeling like this?

Warning to new sleeves

As for over eating or not chewing your food with the sleeve, be careful. I am so stubborn and always in hurry so needless to say , I throw up about once a day. It is a miserable feeling, but there is a fine line between empty stomach and miserably full. I am still figuring it out. I make the smallest portions ever and sometimes I can finish them and sometimes i cant, so I listen to my body and I give it time to go down. -

Dont feel bad my Dh hates eating with me now. He said it isnt the same as it used to be. And old habits die hard bc I still have a nerve to order my own meal when we go out to eat when I could just eat a bite or 2 of his food. lol -
Chinese food soups
Raechelle replied to sarahh1828's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I ordered wonton soup no wontons or green onions and no crunchies in the clear liquid phase. once you get to full liquids strain as much of the egg as you can and enjoy your eggdrop soup. only thing is when you get to solids and begin to follow your low carb diet be carefull with those soups because they are full of flour and cornstarch. -
I see you live in Louisiana. I live near New Orleans. What surgeon are you having your surgery with? I went with The Surgical Clinic of Louisiana Drs Treen and Belott.
