Hello, and Welcome to the site please feel free to ask any questions.

I was told any liquid you cant see through so non chunky cream Soup, v8, milk, protien shakes.< /p>

I am so sorry for your troubles but good that you got back to the dr so that they could fix it before it got real bad. Wishing a speedy recovery for you let us know how things go

Awsome Job that must feel so excelent!!! Cant wait to be in your shoes. Keep up the Great work

I am sorry that you have had such bad pain but glad you got the right meds, Good luck with your staples and drain keep us updated and thats for shairing your story.

Absolutely... the way that I managed to make it work for me was I would follow the 1200 cal low carb high Protein diet that my nut gave me but about once a week usually on my days off I would go and get one of my favorite foods and then go right back to the GOOD fod you foods the next day and now that I am 4 days away from my date I really have no craving for the food that I once ate all the time. It also helps that I keep reminding me that this is not a perminate separation I will be abel to eat these foods once again when I hit my goal just in smaller portions. Good Luck I am sure you will find your own way to get under control just try to keep your goal in mind!

I totaly agree try to get your PCP to do a thyroid check it really can mess with your weight loss . Good Luck

So I am still pre op and on the 10 day liver reduction diet wanting everything I see all though I dont eat it I do have these super vivid dreams about food , The first one was about me eating all these foods that I am not suposed to and I kept telling people that but they kept handing me food then last night I had a dream taht I went to a fine dinning restaurant with the family of my childhood ex best friend and the server just kepts bring the most delicious lobster, king crab legs, rich chocolate desseryts and various other scrumptious goodies. I just kept eating and it was great cuz I never got the uncomfortable super full feeling, then I work up and was thankfully not super hungry, I wonder if this is my bodys way of giving me what I want with out letting me have what I want??? So has anyone else had these kind of dreams ? and What was your dream food if you remember?

Awsome job!!! Its so nice to to happy posts like this.

I have not had my surgery yet (five more days yea!!) but I had originaly planed on doing this on my own ( I am also single with no children) but the second my mother found out I was having surgery she said she was comming out (it must be a mother thing they cant help but take care of their children) I kinda had mixed emotions about this because I am a very indepent person not very good at asking for help plus I was not sure how well I would handel her eating infront if me but most of all I feel bad because I am not going to be any fun, I live in Vegas and any time I have some one come out I try to show them a good time. But then I realized tat it really will be nice to have some help around the house, then I figured that I may as well get used to having people eat around me and having food around me when I cant eat since I work in a kitchen, as for keeping her entertaind I recently bought a houe and she really seams to want to do yeard work and painting so if that is what is going to keep her happy then she can have at it plus I did get some tickets to some shows hopefully I will have enough energy to sit throught them. Good luck with your surgery

Congrats on making the decision to be healthy and welcome to the site. I to started this journey thinking I was going to get the band then I went to the seminar and changed my mind then this site sealed the deal as far as my decision to do the sleeve. Good luck with your research and feel free to ask any questions. LKepp us updated on your journey!

I am not sleeved yet but the only thing thamy nut and dr said is an absolute no no is coconut. then of course they highly recomend that there is no carbination

Hey you are only two days before me! Good luck with everything and great job on the weight loss so far!!!

So I have never noticed before how many heavy people are really out there untill I started this journey.Now when I am out and about I look at heavier people and there is this string in my heart that gets pulled. I feel so blessed to have this opertunity to have this surgery done, but I know that not everyone has this option due to finances or even just lack of knowledge. I see them in pain as they are walking , or even just tthe depression in there face, and all I can think of is how benificial this surgery would be for them. I have brought up the topic with some of the heavire people that I would with ( not trying to push it on them, but about what I am doing) and I have had quite a few people ask me for the number to my dr which i gladly tell them and give them all the infor they would need to get started. But clearly I cant just waslk up to some strainger and sugest that they go and have wls no matter how benificail it would be for them. I really just wish there was more advertising out there about there options or even like more grants to become healthy for the people who can not afford it. Well just wanted to get that out, not sure if it make any sence but thakss for reading!

Congrats!!! I recently got my date of Oct 21st so I know how excited you must be. Keep us updaed on how evert thing goes
