This is the one area that I'm like so in the dark on and hear varying view points, i wish it was more clearly if u do this u will not have excess skin (in. Perfect world)

I think it could be a factor of all things including genetics, types of food and beverages consumed, type of Vitamins And minerals, activity level, age, how fast weight is lost etc.

Hey I get banded on the 15th, I'm 26. Anyone who wants to team up and talk And support message me I would love that!

February 15th!!

well I wasn't sure how to "join" I just kept clicking on the follow this group button and then realized I hadn't actually succeeded in joining so then I looked around the page clicked on different things and finally I clicked on members and there was a join button in there that I clicked. I am very new to using the site (signed up about a month ago but have only been using it for the last few days) so I wasn't sure how to do that. lol not sure if that helps anyone who is unsure as well.

Feb 15th!! eeek I'm pumped but wondering what I will feel like. Also I am a bit stressed as I am flying to a different city and my patient cor. gave me a very basic list of items to pack. (socks, housecoat, flat shoes etc) They assume you fly in and fly out 2 days later, but since I am having surgery just before my college's week long break, we have decided to stay for 4 days after and fly home on the 5th day post surgery. Any recommendations on comfort items and supplies for post op care that I will need. I would rather buy it before I go and take it along (minus popsicles hehe) to be more prepared and not have to worry about it in a unknown city and my parents have been so supportive and are coming with as my Care team :) so lucky <3

Day 4 of my pre op diet. I am on slimtime Protein shakes choco flav flav(getting sick of these as they were all sold out of vanilla and said when they get some in I could send the choco back and they would send me vanilla (well no one has contacted me and considering i leave in a week and few days I am not going to hassel with that. shakes 3 x a day (750 cals) and then up to 250 cals of low glex.veg. These seem like pretty strict rules considering what I have seen other doc's prescribe. *sigh I CAN DO IT!!* Today I wanted to just suck on a cheeto puff until it disintegrated hahaha wow I need this surgery and am so thankful that I am getting it ASAP! I also caught myself staring at a girl eatting chili and a bun from tim hortons as we sat in the college commons and damn was I drooling and guess what I don't even like or eat chili EVER haha. But on a plus note i picked up some of those ketosis strips from the pharm. and peed on them today and they showed that I have a bit of it in my system, meaning I think I am burning some fat! booya my Surgeon will be proud.

I did cheat the other day and eat a few small pieces of beef Jerky, think I'm gonna get blasted for that?

Help I don't feel physically hungry in my tummy but my mind is going crazy with cravings.

I drank some dandelion tea to get the bile moving, hopefully that helps and I have a wicked back taste in my mouth, not enough Water today. Just needed a vent. and maybe some people have some suggestions.

I am looking forward to day 2 post op when I can have some chicken broth, clear Soups. I am a meat and savory snacker girl through and through.

I am away from home for the last 3 nights so I'm not sure how much I have lost so far (no scale here)
