  10. 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.

  13. 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!
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. The nerve of some people! Sorry you were subjected to the ignorance of humanity.
  17. Hey the only time I'll be proud to be a loser
  18. 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!
  19. @bandman sending prayers your way you will get through this. I'm getting sleeved tomorrow see you on the sleeved side. Good luck!
  20. 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.
  21. Sending a prayer your way!
