Never Trust A Fart... Such an EPIC Book Title waiting to happen!!

My current weight is 270, my goal is 165, not a lot diff than yours and I sure hope I move as fast as you! You look beautiful! Congratulations!
What have you been eating daily for the most part? Exercise?
Thanks!

And you are so right about having a question and putting it on here! Everyone here is always so nice and helpful!
I am so happy I found this website and have been supported like I have. It's really nice!

Lmao! This thread is hilarious!
The next time you be saying DAMN I SHARTED! Bahahaha
Glad your feeling a little relief

I think we all have to push for that goal---not just weight loss, but back to the things we used to do or the things we were never able to do but always wanted to because of the weight hanging over our heads. New way of thinking. New life. Nothing's stopping me now.

Got the following:
2 strawberry Kiwi
2 vanilla Bean Torte
2 Cappuccino Latte
3 Fuzzy Navel
1 caribbean cooler
Free sample Cappuccino latte which is 1/2 size of normal sample which kinda blows lol
I'm headed to the Dollar Tree where they have individual packs of yohoo sugar free chocolate and strawberry which should be good to add to any powder that doesn't taste great or any unflavored.
Anyway, when I get home I will try probably the cappuccino latte with some sugar free caramel Syrup, ice and some unsweetened vanilla almond milk and hopefully have something close to a caramel frappe!

I live in Cali.... It's taqueria central and at 5 weeks I ordered ONE carne asada taco. (this made me giggle cause I used to order 5!) I was cleared by my NUT to have beef.
I opened it up and tried to eat just a small bite of meat and NOPE.... Wasn't happening. I had a small bite of meat and it just felt kinda wrong in my belly.... Kind of like a ball rolling around.
I tried again 2 weeks later and it was all good.
Moral of the story is to wait till cleared and proceed with caution!

A good portion of sleevers can never handle red meat, especially beef again. So there is a chance of never.
Also, rice is very touchy for people.
I had Carne Asada 2 months out, and waited until 3 for rice, on sushi. I tried tortillas around 2 months and they made me a little uncomfy. I can eat maybe 1/2 a small corn one.
Wait it out. Seriously your options are to suffer with your cravings and head hunger or potentially go to the hospital after harming yourself.

LOL @ sharted
Heeee!

I would have to say you really, really want to lose some before this surgery. Whith that said, however a part of the sleeve's history was acting as a 1st wave of surgery, for people who was so large they could not have the bypass - so I am confused for the people who are being told they are too large.

I can imagine the craving of Mashsed Potatoes and Gravy, especially from KFC Bc they are the BEST! But please stick to Dr's orders!!! Don't mess up your sleeve and maybe have an emergency surgery bc you blew out a staple over some mashed potatoes!
Good luck!

I'm actually feeling a little better tonight, haven't smoked anything since the half a cigarette at 3ish? And that was almost 9 hours ago. I think as long as I have a clean start in the morning it'll be easier.
I just have this feeling of anxiety in the pit of my stomach and I hate it!
Thank you all for your support!!
Johnathan

I am so sorry! I can't imagine my bestie doing that. She is skinny and beautiful but she is the most loyal friend in the world! Weve bren friends for almost 15 years(since 7th grade!)She is actually who is taking care or me after surgery.
I am so sorry you are going through this, it's just not right! Friends are supposed to be just that, a friend!
Some people are in our lives forever and some aren't. I would definitely talk to her and share your feelings and see if it can be talked out because being friends that long would be sad for it to come to an end.
Good Luck!

Wish I had known that bc I ordered from Mybariatricpantry.com and got 11 for 18.95+3.95 shipping + 1 free sample of my choice.
I think I may still call them and do another order that way I have enough for after surgery until I figure out what I want and like. I'm excited to try the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury ones too, specifically the chicken Soup one. My Syntrax will be here on thursday(would have been the 4th but of course it's a holiday lol).

Congratulations on getting ready for surgery! It's so exciting!!
Just wanted to say, I can't believe that they bill 65K to insurance! That just seems insane to me!
Good luck!
Johnathan

Thank you all so much! I have made up my mind that I am going with the sleeve for sure!
I am not going to take the chance to spend this kind of money and it not last!
i have read over and over about both of these and was trying to get a little more insight and definitely I am going to get the sleeve. Their are a couple Dr's i have researched for this and hope to make an appt for consult soon.
Thanks everyone!

I'm pretty consumed with it myself! I am on here like 24/7 reading up and talking with others and am just always reading and researching stuff that has to do with this WLS.
This will change my life forever and I guess that's why I'm so consumed by it. I just really want it and wish it was tomorrow and not the 25th lol
Johnathan

It consumes my life even AFTER the surgery. I get on here a lot, some days (like today) I'm more active on it than others, but I'm on here a lot. Its the only place I feel like I can really show my obsession. My family doesn't really understand and I know they dont want to talk about my weight loss and what I'm eating all the time, lol. I think its normal, and its good to have a forum where others are going through what you are.

Thanks ladies! I do want to become completely healthy! I want to be able to run! I've always wanted to be a runner because I'm fast, even being overweight I am still a good runner, just that u don't have much endurance lol
I'm gonba try the sugar free peppermint stick bc I have a prob with nothing in my hands too. I've been using him but it seems to not work too well. On to other stuff I guess.
Thanks!
