Did it finally go away?

I have gone 2.5lbs but I think I was having food funerals. Now I have officially started my pre op diet so 250 is possible!

my skinny friend told me she doesnt like to be the fat friend so Ive never told her. How lame is that?!

Love it! Good for you

Don't beat yourself up. I've heard way worse stories or confessions at WLS meetings I go to. Like melting chocolate bars and then drinking them. I'm not sleeved yet but I bet that thought will cross my mind after weeks of fluids only! I see some people on here chew and spit so you are deffinately not alone. Stay strong and the fluid faze will be over soon

1 cup of healthy food 3 times a day for 6 months of supervised diet. No cheese, no caffeine, no carbonated beverages, no sweeteners, no bananas. Then 2 weeks of liquid diet before surgery.

I haven't told anyone. I have been judged enough for being obese. I don't care to be judged and hear others opinions about this

I'm Canadian, not paying anything but not getting paid.

Ive been reading about it for a few years and I am constantly learning new things or realizing something I never even thought about. When it's all said and done its a whole nother thing though isn't it?! I hope all my prep work helps!

But you may have lost inches?

Melatonin makes me have crazy dreams. I'm hoping to find something else. I'm glad to read its been working for you happy1957

He said cheese is packed with sodium and cholesterol. Boo.

I am in Canada and have gone thru this process twice because I was not ready the first time. I was on the waiting list to see the doctor and started seeing dr.gregg in jan 2011 but then for some reason I got an overwhelming feeling that I was going to die. I just knew if I went thru with it that would be the end for me. Sooooo I hired a personal trainer, worked with a nutritionist, worked my butt off for months, started running, tried body by vi and here I am a year later back on the waiting list. I would have my sleeve by now if I stuck to it. But I'm glad I gave it my alll one more time so that I could really say I tried! I have learned valuable information over the last year and continued researching the sleeve. All of these things will help me out when its my turn and hopefully I won't have to wait too long! Process for the 2nd time around. Nov 24 faxed referral ~didn't go thru, i didn't confirm until the 19th of Dec Dec 19 resent fax and confirmed went thru Appointment maker supposed to call within the next 2 weeks (dec 20 to jan 2) She hadn't called by the 9th so I called her. Consult jan 17 9:30!! I can't wait! I know I have at least 6 months to wait but I'm finally restarted. Got accepted into the program. Jan 25 meet the surgeon and watch a video Feb 29 meet the nut March 26 monthly weigh in

Did you figure out what it was?

It's really hard. Don't give up! As time goes by it will get easier!

Thinking of you and hoping you are feeling better today!

Sounds like its been a long journey for you! Good luck on your approval

I use dailymile.com

I seem to be going backwards. 268.7lbs Could someone please come kick my arse? I've been bad the last few weeks off and on off and on

Yay! Congrats on being a loser!

I dont care for the zumba but I like just dance

there is more then just this site too. make sure you look everywhere you can for information. Bottom line....If you are not 100% comfortable with your decision then dont do it! Its not a decision to be taken lightly. My first time looking into this I got a really bad feeling that I couldnt shake for days on end. I decidced to cancel and Im glad I did. A year later I am more then comfortable with my decision to have the surgery and my doctor(s)

How are things GIMB?

Yay for NSV!

Go back to liquids until Jan 5. Don't rush things. Allow your sleeve some time to heal
