Tattoos
I would like to know the answer too. I have a pretty big one on my left forearm. I just hope its just as pretty after i lose weight. I have a small one above my right ankle but I am not as worried about it. I plan on getting a few more but after I lose at least most of the weight.

drinking after/well eating
I am still pre-op but my doc said no drinking 30 min before or after any food. There's not enought room in the tummy for both and I guess it takes a little time to naturally leave it.

You are doing awesome!!- First Doc Visit Pre Op
Awesome about your surgery!!! I have been reading everthing!! Also been watching you tube videos and reading on fb and my surgeons site. I have been getting myself mentally prepared and my husband is excited for me. I just purchased a Blender Bottle from ebay... Now time to start trying out different Protein to see what I like and what I dont. OK So about the doc visit... He put me on 1500 cal and 10k steps per day. I just can lose about 30 pounds before I am in danger of my bmi getting too low for my ins. Wish I could sleep for a whole month till time for my first visit with my surgeon!!!!!!- First Doc Visit Pre Op
I am going this morning to a pcp to start my 3 month required diet. I have fed bcbs. I am super excited!! My bmi now is about 47 or 48.... I know I can't get below 40 before surgery or my insurance wont cover me. I LOVE reading all the posts here and I love the pics even more. I can't wait to have an after pic!! - What kind of Protein drinks?
