I got this really great shake from GNC called Amplify its really good all natural almost no carbs 40 grams of protein per serving check it out. I mix mine with rice milk or plain coconut almond milk delicious.

Hey you gotta laugh lol thanks ladies!!!! Goodnight have 10 hours before my surgery.

I know weeeeeee!

I get my sleeve tomorrow too. Look to your future where you will be a year from now and smile. That is what I'm focusing on.

Awesome to see these stories I go in tomorrow morning. I'm on the bowel prep its not good but I know its for a good purpose and that's ME.

Check out the pre surgery bowel prep blues.

OK its been three hours since I started the prep my belly is literally having a conversations with me lmbo. Omg this is killer. Thanks for the vaseline tip I really need it or some balmex ouchh!

Be able to shop at Express! Be able to eat a small bite of chicken and be full. Be able to look down and see my kitty. Be able to run, jump without feeling like I'm about to die. Be able to look in the mirror and for once in my life feel accomplished!

Thank you can't wait tillthis part is over I'm hoping this is the hardest part .

Congrats woot woot keep it up girly

What about rice or coconut milk its not thick and has great protein.

Miralax mixed with Gatorade is very rough the only reason they had me mix it with gade is so I won't dehydrate. I started drinking, I have to down 64 ounces I have to drink eight ounces every fifteen to thirty minutes.

Lucky mate!

If you don't have the stomach for this please keep it moving. Please share your bowel prep guidelines, survival tips etc.. My bowel prep guidelines are Dr ordered K-Dur Potasium pill 238 grams of Miralax mixed with 64 ounce of Gatorade not purple red or orange. 9:00 take two 11:00 take one 2:00 start Miralax/Gatorade drink Nothing to eat by mouth only broth and liquids. I'm not sure if its the nerves but I already started running to the bathroom. My stomach is making funny rumbling sounds.Thank God I work from home. Its going to be a long day.

@erp I am getting sleeved tomorrow too. We are in this together!!! Prayers for all my Feb 20th sleevers.

This is why I love this forum you guys rock. Thanks for you input, advice, and rants. Love you all and I support all of us we are all in this together!

I made the mistake of telling a so called friend oh my what a mistake. Friend: what do you mean wls like getting your stomach cut? Why you don't need that. All you need to do is control your diet exercise and you will be fine. Me: You dont understand I have been dieting exercising on and off all my life. I lose then gain then lose then gain. Do you have any idea how much strain that is putting on my body? Friend: I just can't understand why you would think doing something so drastic can benefit you. You can die, lose your hair, have lose skin is it worth it? Me: Is it worth me living a life of insecurities of constant imprisonment low energy high cholesterol. I was looking for support in you. Friend: I'm totally against it and I will try my best to talk you out of it. This is not for you. To make a long story short she knows my surgery is tomorrow is calling me constantly and I'm ignoring all her calls is this wrong just don't need the negativity right now. I almost feel like telling her I'm not doing it just to get her off my back. Ugh why did I open my mouth.

Artsong you made me giggle lol. However it does infuriate me when ignorant people always have to put their 2 cents in everything. I would tell them put those 2 cents where the sun don't shine and keep moving.

The nerve of some people! Sorry you were subjected to the ignorance of humanity.

Hey the only time I'll be proud to be a loser

Has anyone on vst experienced someone telling them or heard anyone in conversation saying wls is an easy way out? I haven' t personally, but the other day someone posted a comment like that on one of my friends picture on insta gram. What an up roar that caused. How can anyone say this is an easy way out, if they only knew the hell we've lived only to continue to be discriminated. This is why I am so reserved and don't tell anyone what I'm having done. Its so sad this world still has insensitive people like that in it. Just venting oh sigh!

@bandman sending prayers your way you will get through this. I'm getting sleeved tomorrow see you on the sleeved side. Good luck!

Yes I have the pre op blues tool I want to eat my dog lol. I'm starving tomorrow I have the bowel prep on top of the liquid diet then Wednesday its the big day I almost can't wait so this torture can end lol.

Sending a prayer your way!
