I absolutely adore her. I have prayed and Im trusting and believing all will be fine

All went well I enjoyed one martini....was slightly on my way to a buzz after about 90% of the drink but all went well. I enjoyed a night out with some sense of normallacy so it felt really well. I do not regret it at all. This morning I was back out on my protiens and healthy food choices =)

I am 3ths out this week.

The Bariatric Nurse in my Dr's office advised us to wait at least 4 weeks. The Doctors instructions said one year, but I only believe its because of the fact that alcohol effects us a lot faster. I am having a couple of sips of a apple martini tonight.....I did not have my first real alcohol beverage until my 30th Bday so needless to say I can not hold my liquor so therefore I will be a sipping betty. I worked all day to get in my protein, nutrients and vitamins so I am okay w/a few empty calories.

I completely agree and at this moment I will make sure that I keep that in my prayers. New Focus.....Being blessed, excited, healthier and happier

I truly understand the regret. I have my moments still but I keep telling myself that if I could have taken the weight off I would not have had the surgery, but there are still times I wish I would have tried harder and not had the surgery. Cheers to the end result and to better days =) I am glad you are feeling better and I am looking forward to your wonderful post of nothing but good and happy results.

I agree with most that you will have to weight your options. I had a great surgery but minor complications with exhuasting and dehydration. I could not have delt with moving and healing at the same time. But truly its to each their own. I am eight weeks out and it is a very emotional journey. I am also sorry for your situation but I just have the best feeling that you will be fine with any choice you make.

We had the same exact feelings. I had a friend ask me couple of days out of surgery should she go for it and my answer was "NO". I am almost six weeks out from surgery on Monday, and now my answer is "YES". I had a really rough start but now I can see clearly now the rain is gone You will get there....Just hang on in there.

I thank you all and truly appreciate your input....It has truely been helpful

Thank you bunches fellow Banana Baby

Just wonderning because I know that doctors have their different paths for their WLS patients.

I used Dr David Kim as well. My surgery has went well. I did not do well on the pre op diet but my surgery was excellent. I had my surgery on 11/22 and I am down 17 pds. The only thing that I would have liked to happen different was to see Dr Kim after my surgery. I figured that it was because it was the holidays but I am not sure. The most important thing was the surgery and I feel as if he has done an excellent job. And Dr Kim is also a Center of Excellence physician.

You've already weathered the hard part of the storm to get your appoval.....I know the cancellation was disappointing but hang in their your sleeve is right around the corner.... Katrina

Congrats to you...cheers to your new life... Katrina

Raine that is soooo funny....Before readying your comments I looked at the pics and said Wowzers lol....I see we both agree Congrats your pics are awesome and a wonderful motivator.... Katrina

Thank you bunches for your reply. I will do....

Happy Saturday everyone. I was online looking at Jamba Light smoothies and I feel that this is something that I can have, but I wanted to know if anyone else has tried smoothies during liquid phase. I hate this part, but I know it will be over soon - Katrina

Sleeved on 11/22 Surgery Weight 217 Current Weight 202

Also, I had the surgery out of town and I have had to take a trip to my local ER. It was great. I was pumped full of fluids to the point I was a little puffy but I felt so much better...

I was sleeved on 11/22 as well. My doctor prescribe a liquid only diet and I can not have eggs until 12/19. I know that each doctor has their own recommendations but maybe it's too soon and was the reasoning for you voimiting. I hope it gets better for you. The only thing that keeps me going right now is the fact that I have lost 15 pds since surgery.

Lady I am sooooooo excited because I am looking forward to joining you. My current size is 20 and my surgery is next week.....Yeah you....You look awesome.

Just said a prayer for you and congrats on the big day. All will go well. Katrina

Oh how I wished my doctor would have chose low carb over this liquid diet.....I will make the best of it.

Thank you very much Lvikiningfan I was feeling like giving up on my liquid diet and its not worth being able to have the procedure or being cut open.....

I'm super VST illiterate Glenna. I've sent Jan a friend request and I already have you and Ren as friends. I know we can keep each other updated via our profile post. Let me know any other way and I'll do so. We definitely have to stop meeting in the Denied forum because we have all been blessed to be approved now.....Yeah!!!!
