Yeah. I'm not too worried. Just wanted to see if yall had hear anything.

So my mom said she's been hearing a lot about border issues. Not sure what she's talking about. I called and she was too drunk to explain. (Don't ask) Any idea what she's talkin about?

I feel ya! I am planning on going February 17 to dr Garcia. I'm so excited! It's aprox 2 months still, and I've been planning this since October. That's really flown, and I can barely believe another Christmas has passed, so I have faith that this can fly too!!

I am so excited for you!! I can't wait until I get sleeved and experience next christmas!

I don't think I've seen any pics of you! I've seen a few of your posts and can tell you are feeling confident. If love to see before and afters!! But yay for that boost!!

Where'd everyone go? This thread ( and the mx forum) have fizzled out!

Thank you everyone! Hazels, so thorough!! Thank you!!!!

Merry christmas everyone!!! Hope you have a ton of fun with friends and family! It's 4:47 and I can't sleep. (Social anxiety)

I dunno. Maybe Santa can be on a diet next year ad eat fruit. *shrug* As for this year and temptation, if sweets are your "thing", then I'd not eat it. In AA they say "one is too many and 100 is never enough." (Right? Something like that. I never went to AA, but saw it in a movie, and my mom goes) anyway. I can rarely just eat one. It's a slippery slope.

To google I go. Vegetarian,vegan!?

Maybe you're wanting salt, crunch and oil. Perhaps kale chips or something similar would satisfy? It's worth a try!! You didn't risk your life to go back I old habits!!! Please!! Don't!! I don't say this as a know it all, trying to encourage!!

I love my blendtec! I was able to get the designer series. I don't use it often though. Maybe I'll use it more post op.

You also get a much better figure when you work out. I don't like exercise but I feel AMAZONG when I exercise and I look much better too. Edited to add that I mean resistance training, not cardio. Although I do both.

I'm really disappointed that your surgeon and nutritionist didnt tell you all of this!!!

I have noticed that there seems to be a lot more complications lately!

That is so cool!!

If you search "sex," you will find a ton of threads ain't how great sex is afterwards!!! I have yet to experience it, but I think the answer to your question is "yes!" As for skin, yes, you'll probably have some skin. Do you see plastics in your future?

Why is that? I'm very curious!

I know walking is easy and almost everyone can do it. That's on the agenda for after surgery and I have some walk at home DVDs. I like then ok. It's a good enough workout but her voice saying the same thing over and over. "/ I'm thinking about getting a cellercizer or a treadmill. Do you know people that actually USE a treadmill for what they are for tho? I have a feeling I won't after a while. I dunno. Maybe I would. Sigh. I have 6 kids, ages 11,9,7,6,3 and 1. I like to wake early to work out. What's good for beginners? I love cardio bit want to build up a lil muscle. I don't want Madonna arms, but just a lil something. Whatdya think?

To the op, you've told us that you don't follow a very strict diet. I think changing that, or even going back to the basics (maybe look up that boot camp, wherever that is) first for a whole would be your best bet. You'll have to be even more strict with the ds if I'm remembering correctly. Why are you considering a ds when you already have the fantastic tool that is the sleeve!? You can probably do this fairly easily by just getting a bit more strict.

Some people are just more private than others. Guess what? That's perfectly fine. Not everyone is just like you. Thank goodness.

My favorite green smoothie from my raw vegan days is blueberry, banana spinach. That's it. So good!! Not big on kale. I eat kale as chips. Google kale chips. All that said, I don't know if that stuff is permitted for sleevers.

I want to know how this is even possible!!!?

What's it like? I mean I've seen it in movies and I went to pick up a friend from an airport when I was 14, but What do I do!!?? I know you can order plane tickets online. I believe even from an app? If I go to our smaller more local airport I'll be on a smaller American Airlines plane. Is this bad? (For some reason, smaller plane = not as good to me. Not sure why.) I'm nervous about the layover mostly. How do I make sure I don't miss my plane, having never been in the airport or experienced any of this before!? Anything else I should know? I plan on packing light so hopefully I can carry it on and not worry about baggage claim.

I'm not get sleeved. Planning on February. So excited!
