I am over a year post-op and I am now having lactose intolerance. I have never in my life had a problem with dairy!!

Congrats...hope you feel great soon!!

Wow i really dont know what to say to that!! It seems like that should be routine. I had one after my surgery and even got to see my new little stomach on the screen!!

That is soo great. I am 10 days post op and have been really doing good...but this morning i wanted my normal breakfast soooo bad i cried. My normal breakfast was a 3 pound burrito from the mexican restraunt down the street consisting of beans, eggs, cheese and chip rolled in a huge tortilla. So reading this really made me think..i dont have to eat that way anymore!! Thank you.

I have a Wii and have the EA sports active which comes with resistence bands. You can choose upper body or lower body work outs that are low impact and really helpful.

I had my Sleeve done 3/28/11 and was at the park walking my dog that Friday...oh i did walk around the block Thursday and now i am full steam ahead. My mom came and stayed with me and i really only needed her those 1st 2 days after surgery. Good luck with everything. The Sleeve is the best decision I have ever made!!

Congrats on your surgery. I had mine on 3/28/11 and i haven't had any problems either. NO nausea or any kind of sickness. I went to the park that Friday after my surgery and have been going ever since. I get to start on purees his Sunday. I drink 3 Isopure shakes a day and do water, propel, popsicles, and crystal light.

i start on purees Wednesday. I can't wait because i am sick of liquid! thank you ladies for all the recipe ideas!

I am feeling wonderful today. I walked my dog to the park yesterday and we are going again today!! I have been having problems with TV commercials getting to me, but then I think to myself...that kind of food is what got me this way, why would i want to go back!! So i am determined to live my new life with a new way of thinking about food!!

Awww God bless you BJ. You have made the right decision. I wish i woulda taken hold of my life when I was your age. Actually i didn't hit the 200s until i was in my 30s but i kept telling myself i would lose it dieting...ha ha ha! I would lose and gain more. My surgery is next Monday the 28th. I feel like you do..if i lose weight on a diet, i will gain it all back like i have in the past. So this surgery is the ultimate tool. Good luck to you.

Anyone here from Austin Tx...I am going in for my surgery 3/28/11 and I am soooo excited!!

thank you!!

WOW!! No my preop is not that strict. It's lots of lean meat and green vegis, very few starches and carbs...no sweets!! I have to be on a liquid diet 24 hours before surgery.

Thanks ILKrista, yes it will be a lot easier dealing with it before instead of afterwards!! I am a carb junkie!! I know I am going to be okay..Just be glad when the surgery is behind me!

It wasn't 2 whole burgers...its was just double meat double cheese LOL!! No just kidding!! Thank you for your response. I think I will be okay. I am eating lean meat like turkey. Its just the low carb thing I'm having a problem with. I love bread!! But I am going to try harder!! I am really looking forward to my surgery. It seems like the hours are going by so slow but I know it will be here before I know it!

My name is Molly. I have hit 253 lbs and decided it is time to do something about it. I am scheduled for VSG on March 28th. I was asked to do a PreOP diet and it is not going well. I originally wanted to do the Gastric Plication but changed my mind today. Is it really going to matter if I mess up my pre Op diet? I have no health issues besides being overweight. I am really nervous and excited at the same time. I have not been thin since i was in Jr High. Now I am at my heaviest weight ever. I have done every diet on the planet, I lose weight and then gain it all back plus more.

I would love a copy of your book. I am scheduled for surgery March 28, 2011. mizzm2269@gmail.com
