PEvette

I like them....I'm starting to drink them instead of coffee in the morning....I'm having a cappuchino(sp) as we speak....

I wanted to ask about gas after the procedure....how long did it stay with you and what were some things you did to eliminate it quickly????

I totally agree with you and OEA...I'm currently in therapy, it was suggested from my psy eval because I've been overweight for most of my life....WLS patients do have issues with food, and if they are not resolved, it will sabotage your hard work!

I can't wait to.... 1) Be able to goto more stores in San Marcos, texas other than lane bryant and assoccery stores 2) have a baby....(my family always corrects me and say the MAN first, THEN the baby....)I'm 33 turning 34, I dont really care at this point... 3) Travel More...can't wait to travel overseas....Italy, Greece (Greek men are HOTT), and some parts of Britian 4) Dance Dance Dance....do a belly dancing class, also a texas 2-step dance...a friends already made me promise to do line dancing with her... 5) Do Pilates and Yoga....I have some joint issues that will go away with the WLS....so I am looking forward to joining a class!!

plan on going to sleep....you shouldn't do anything after that procedure....1) you will not feel like doing anything and 2) the medicine makes it so that all you really want to do is rest...

I'm in a similar situation....I'm a couple of years older, 33, still no kids and my only problem is that I'm obese....my suggestion is think about life afterwards...not the first couple of weeks (we know those will be rough) but think about being healthier, active....enjoying life.... My family is still asking me if I'm sure this is what I want to do, and I tell them, the alternative is living a short life, I rather live, thank you.... When I was your age I decided to have the lapband, because I was scared of the whole rerouting thing with RNY...now 7 years later, if taking 80% of my stomach is what must be done to help me, so be it.... Just remember the reasons why you made the decision for WLS, if you haven't write it down....so you can remind yourself of the positive...

Oh I'm a teacher as well...that's why the summer date too! I'm not scared about the procedure, I just want everything to be safe for me as well as Dr. Yu....I like my doctor, he's very supportive, and his staff is super nice, can be forgetful at times, but aren't we all.....

I'm getting sleeved on June 11th....I have my last pre-op appt on May 22nd, that's when the NUT suggested I start...so I'll be on the pre-op diet for almost 3 weeks (its my own fault, my doctor took some Fluid out of my band in Feburary because I was starting to get really bad acid reflux, and I've gained 10 pounds ( ) I've bought alot of sample packets from bariatric pantry.com as well as CHIKE.. I'm in Houston, Texas, my surgeon is Dr. Yu

stick it in the back of the freezer....

WW scale at Bed Bath and Beyond....about 30 bucks, but worth it...
