Congrats on starting the softy part of your diet.. and you actually answered a question I had been wondering "can I eat tuna during the soft stage" lol.

Actually when they removed part of your stomach, they also removed the part that controls the hormones that tell you when your hungry, so you may never feel hungry again! Some people complain about having that hungry feeling, but usually that is acid, they are put on meds and that feeling goes away!

I have also heard that some people have problems sleeping. I hope that changes, because your body needs more than 4 hours of sleep a day! Eventually you would think it would crash! I'm hoping that the surgery isn't the reason, and if it is it's not permanent!

I wonder if the reason your urine was so concentrated would be because your body was trying to rid it's self from the drugs, and meds given to you for the surgery?

Congrats on breaking 300lbs! That is too awesome and wonderful! I know right now it may seem like your looking across the Mt. of Doom..but think 100lbs from now you're going to look back and think.. wow that went by quick, or you're going to think.. I remember writing that blog about losing 100lbs.. that feels just like yesterday! What was I worried about!

Congrats! I too notice the negative point of view toward WLS, and I will admit to thinking like that at one time, until I started doing my own research, and I learned that the pov that wls was the "easy way" out was is a HUGE misconception!

Who would have ever imagined you'd be happy to go see a doctor! lol.. Congrats!! This is awesome!

My mom and I was just talking about this topic earlier today. I haven't been sleeved yet, but after reading several posts on here I am wondering if I will actually lose these things once the weight starts falling off? I too am genetically well endowed so I worry they won't go down much

I know what a pain they are too (especially in the back)! I hope yours start to shrink soon! Maybe they will be the last thing to go.

I have not had the surgery yet, but from what I have gathered sometimes people have issues with acid,which gives you the feeling of being hungry. Of course please correct me if I am wrong. I would talk to your dr. and if that's it see about getting put on meds to help!

Congrats! Hopefully you hear back sooner than later!

Now I know how I got to your blog (which I have saved in my favorites for easy access lol)! I always find such great encouragement from reading your blogs, and on days when I am feeling down, or just need a quick reminder of great the Lord is, I go and read one of your entries and I am quickly reminded of His love for me! Thank you!

Thank you! Sometimes I need slight reminders of this

Congrats! I hope all goes smoothly, and quick!

Congrats! I can't give you any advice because I have yet to have the surgery but I love reading peoples stories!

I too have decided that when or if I get the surgery I am only going to tell CLOSE family, and my very best friend (actually they already know) I'm not telling anyone else.

Yay!! Congrats!

Congrats! I hope all goes well, and I'm sending you warm thought, wishes, and a speedy, painless recovery! You are doing this for all the right reasons, you're doing this for your health, for live! I really hope that your husband and close friends come around also, as crazy as this sounds I think the love and support of others helps with recovery.
