  1. You'll be fine.Im sure if the doctor was that concerned about it he would have expressed that concern to you. Just do liquids now.
  2. I could have gone back in that time but I stayed out an extra few days. i was fine to go back but I was lucky and didnt have complications. Take its one day at a time If you cant go back just get written documentation from your surgeon to excuse you.
  3. I had no issues either. The only thing that I am dealing with now is heartburn. Cravings...Pizza. I feel as though I am infitrated by pizza everywhere i turn but then I am at a place where I am kind of hating food. Im glad you are doing well. keep me posted.
  4. I live in Florida and my insurance is BCBS IL. I was covered.
  5. Okay, So I am going throgh this strange love/hate thing with food. Im hungry and I watch people cooking and eating on television as if it is food porn. I go to the fridge grab a yogurt or something equal to that consistancy, Open it up dig my spoon into it, taste it and roll my eyes in disappointment. Here's a scenerio that is mind boggling to me aswell, i bought some pre made mashed potatoes to just have something a little different. I know it is high in carbs and that is why I decided I would eat a 2 oz cup once in a while just for a change in flavor because frankly I am tired of sweet flavors. I eat a couple bites and think to myself "I absolutly hate food". Right now food looks so good and smells so good but when it comes down to it I dont want to eat any of it. Anyone having this issue? I am sure I am not the only one that is having a psychological meltdown right now when it comes to food. So in conclusion to this i would like to say that I love smelling food and I love watching people enjoy food but i hate eating it.
  6. @Nikkidoodlebug. I'm sorry things are rough right now. I'm home now and feeling a little better. My stomach feels like it's got a bubble in it. My sense of taste is totally off. Keep your chin up. You are stronger than you think.
  7. I was sleeved on the 10th also. Had a rough day 1 but now it's better. Heartburn and gas sucks.
  8. I'm home now. Got home last night. I'm having some heartburn and gas. Looking forward to getting back to 100%. I knew it wouldn't be easy. One hour at a time
  9. I'm in the hospital. 1day post op. Last night was terrible. Pain and gas along with dry heaves. Now I feel 80% better. Woke up scared.
  10. You should look into the clear isopure. I love the apple melon and the blue rasberry. 40 grams of protein and you count it as your liquids. I am having surgery tomorrow and I am so ready to get this ball rolling.
  11. Tomorrow is the big day!!! I will be going in at 8am. Pray for me guys. Thanks for all of your support
  12. I am on my pre op right now and I have not had any pain. I have had alot of gas but thats my usual. I am just a gasey person anyway. If I were you i would go and get checked by the doctor to check and see if you have a UTI. You can even buy the over the counter test at your local pharmacy.
  13. I am just stunned! That was a disgraceful thing for him to say. If I were you i would post a for sale ad on craigslist with your husbands picture on it. That was insensitive and horribly painful. I pray for your marriage but I have to say, He is a fool to treat you like this. You deserve respect and appreciation. Your next husband will thank him one day for pushing you into his life.
  14. Its been a while since i have seen some recent before and after shots. I have not yet had surgery and your photos are so inspiring. If you have some to share I would love to see you. Thanks everyone. You are so inspiring!
  15. Don't beat yourself up. I have yet to do the surgery but you are not alone in this. There are alot of people in your same position right now. i have watched tons of youtube videos about it and read forums where other people are going through the same thing. Just stay active and following the diet to a T and everything will be fine. I have noticed many people hidding their scales because they become consumed with the numbers.
  16. I have actually been very open with everyone around me about WLS. I am proud of it and I am embracing it 100%. The people around me are supportive but even if they werent it would not change my feelings at all. If they dont like it then that is their opinion and you know what they say about opinions. Be proud of your decision, This is an amazing blessing and a wonderful tool. Be someones inspiration.
  17. 2 weeks away for me too. Don't worry everything will be fine. i am so excited. Stay positive.
  18. Ladies.....May i say that i am on day 2 of pre op diet and I am not at all enjoying the gnawing pain in my stomach. Water Water down it goes. I cant remember being this hungry...head hurts and i am just ready to go to bed.
  19. More reason to stay on the program and prove that you are not who she thinks you are. She is being prejudice based on other people. You are you and not other people. Stay strong. This is your journey not hers!
  20. Okay, Im sorry who is this woman? What kind of person says that? Have you reported her about this? I am dumbfounded. I started writing and kept erasing what i typed because my first reaction was to punch this lady but I know you cant do that and i wouldnt either. My goodness. i am so sorry she said that. If i were you i would threaten her with the authorities and file a restraining order to protect her cause i would have a hard time holding back. Arrrggg!
