Thank you!! I called my dr and his nurse told me that he likes for us to wait 4 weeks. I told her that I had done really well on every thing so far and was ready to try something else, she told me he liked for us to wait but I wanted to try I could but if it didnt go good to go back to what I am doing! I ready but really nervous!

Even if I got rid of my scales, I work in a medical office so I walk past scales all day long!

I can't wait to go back...

OK, I will make it private, I totally understand the concerns.

Thank you!

Isn't it horrible!!!! Between the Reese's eggs and Mini-Cups there must be at least a bag full in my house. Not to mention the chocolate bunnies. And every time I pass by they laugh at me so what do I do, I LAUGH BACK!! food does not rule me!!!!

I took the complete opposite approach and have told everyone who wanted to listen (even managed to bore various shops assistants with my story!) . I probably have been too much of an open book and the responses are varied but to be honest even though there have been some negative comments, I couldn't really care less. I am in the healthy BMI now and feel and look great - not many people say I shouldn't have done it when they see me!

Both. I have been married for 18.5 years...with my husband for 21 years total. Before we had children I was extremely thin...and he was very jealous. Once I got heavier he was no longer jealous. Now that I have lost the weight he is more jealous again. I kind of like it because he is doing more for me...like being more romantic, and helping a lot more around the house.
As for the really good part, he looks at me with those eyes again....the ones that tells me he is really attracted to me again. Our sex life has never been better, even then when we were teenagers. We also do a lot more activities together outdoors which I really missed.
This surgery can be really hard on couples....but I would do it again and again and again...because I know that we are in it for the long hall. Communication is key! Good luck!

I buy the premixed premiere Protein from costco. It's worked for me!

Powerade zero, unsweetened tea, crystal lite, Jello, Popsicles!

The other thing is that with vsg we lose the hunger hormone grenelin (sp?). Many people report not being hungry ever. My Dr says it takes a bit for the hormone to get out of your system so you are hungry at first. I'm almost 2 weeks post OP and am less hungry every day. I'm at the point where I don't really care about food anymore. I hope it lasts!

I like Knorrs

I am headed to the hospital for my sleeve!!!!! Prayers please!!! I am a nervous wreck!!!!
