It sounds to me like you are looking for your old life back. The days of wendy's burgers and fries should be over. Start working your sleeve and looking at new things to do instead of focusing on food: new hobbies, exercise, friendships. You got this surgery to help you so please work it for all that it is intended. Best wishes to you.

Than who?

try sniffing peppermint oil

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Oh slimmom I am so happy for you, what a great feeling!! Yes we are all in this together. You need to tell your husband that MC crappy is not healthy for either him or your kids, feed them some healthy foods!!

Good luck to you I only have today, tomorrow then one day clear liquids then surgery. We can do it!!

your story is similar to mine in that I have a lapband and was very active at LBT UNTIL I decided to have a revision to the sleeve; my surgery is in three days. The sleeve is permanent and the lapband is not. I am now glad to be getting a permanent surgery for my weight loss journey. Best of luck to you and keep posting!!

Hey that's great I have three more days until surgery. The pre-op has been good and not looking forward to one day clear liquids(fearing dizziness, fatigue) but I can do this!! Hang in there it will be here before you know it. I booked surgery just three weeks in advance. I don't think that I could of handled a longer wait.

Some one also mentioned that "peppermint oil" is good for nausea I am bring some too. Biotin mouth spray if your mouth gets dry and you can't drink

The correct term for number 3. IS either genitals or labia. Can't see your V unless you are a contorcionist(sp)

Apple juice is fat free just has natural occuring sugar unless you had ones that add sugar. This could cause you to get sick

I agree with the other poster. Sounds like you are eating way to much too soon. How can you eat two slices of bread with pbj you are definitely at risk of getting a leak. Slow down and take this process slowly. You will have the rest of your life to eat solid foods!

This is my 5th day pre-op. I have been grumpy, dizzy, hungry(tummy grumbling) but today I feel better. I did take my multi-vitamin and B12 today as I was waiting for permission. I think the B12 helps with dizzy feeling.

put your fork, spoon down between bites. Make sure you have alot of time to eat. Do not be rushed to go and do something else. I normally work on my computer while I eat so that I have lots of time between bites.

You will do great hear from you soon!!

I am getting sleeved on the 10th and oh how I hope to have the "problem" of losing more that I would like! I have never had this problem, always struggling to lose. You can never be too thin or too rich!!

if you don't get in enough protein you will lose your hair and start wasting away your muscles. 24 grams is not enough, I have heard muscle milk is good. The ones I use are delicious I can see I will tire of them after 4 weeks but I know I HAVE to consume at least 60 grams a day.

You are a true inspiration to all of us! You look fantastic!!

In time you will say that this is the best thing you have ever done for yourself. You will do great!!

Well what other procedure are you thinking of?

A Protein Drink is not a clear liquid, it is a full liquid.........................check your paperwork again.

What exactly are you eating? Do you mean your blended/pureed foods? Have you started this stage early?

Hmm what staples are you talking about? If you mean the ones they used to seal off your new stomach no they stay in forever!

I wish you a speedy healing and fast weight loss!!

I am feeling that way right now, day two pre-op. What if I can't cope with the food restriction what if I have a nervous break down, what if I am so miserable all the time, because I am today...............
