Yep, 17th in NYC. Good luck!

Thanks I'll pick some up.

Are there any natural supplements we can take to curb this, I ask because i'm already cranky and I haven't had surgery yet Lol.

Big Guy I'm on the choo choo to chubbytown as well, my surgery is Feb. 17th and I'm doing exactly what your doing I think it's normal? I start my liquid diet on Tuesday so guess what tonight I'm going to Celebrate with some beer and a shot of Jack to say goodbye to the old me and to the beginning of the road to the new me. It's funny we are on similar paths as well this past summer we were in Universal studios and I had to be sausaged into a ride with my son they had to squeeze me into my seat it was one of many aha moments that lead me to this decision. Good Luck to you Brother! See you on the other side.

Hello Lipstick Lady, My two cents go as follows, i'm a rookie by the way my surgery is in about three weeks. I believe that folks are inherently just judgemental. The first time I was actively following surgery over a year ago I made the mistake of sharing my decision with friends and family, I couldn't believe the resistance i received from a boat load of people who had no clue and didn't due the research I did and yet there it was basically I was labelled lazy and crazy, opinions are like a$$holes everybody has one and occasionally they spew forth diahrrhea. I think we are all judgemental to an extent I think it's just in our nature as social creatures. One persons wrong way is anothers right. Ultimately it's our,yours and my decision because we usually know what is best for us. I am nervous as heck yet I know if I dont push foward the myriad of obesity related illnesses that I have are going to bury me sooner than later and you know what I'm not ready to push daisies just yet. As the saying goes "It's hard to be a saint in the city."

I quit using e-cigs and chewing tobacco. Weird but it worked for me. The two stents in my heart was also a wake up call.

It was 2,3,5 & 6 for me Lol. I have overcome, Feb. 17th is "the" Day.

Hello, Feb. 17th 2 week liquid diet starts on the 3rd.

Received my cardiology clearance today, I go for my surgical pre-screening on Monday and starting the liver diet on Tuesday.

Guess I had the hiccups, sorry bout that.

Thanks recycled my surgery is in about three weeks and I was getting a lil' nervous. This helped.

I had to go for a cardiac stress test/echocardiogram but I have heart issues, also next week I go for my hospitals own pre-surgery testing. Good luck and check with your insurance coordinator for the steps you need to take for your particular Dr. it's usually a multi-step process.

Increase your Magnesium intake. I'm pre op and have had this issue as well. I take Costco brand magnesium citrate 2 pills 3x a day and let's just everything works like a well oiled machine. If you can't tolerate pills there are magnesium drops but taste awful.

I told everyone two years ago (Big mistake) My friends had a fatty intervention with a "medical professional" and the evils of (gasp) weight loss surgery. Needless to say I postponed my surgery (vsg next month) this time I just told immediate family and my two closest friends, so far so good.

Your post makes me nervous because when I go for my sleeve next month I'm also having a hiatal hernia repair. How does that work? Do they place a surgical mesh to patch it up? just curious. I know my father inlaw had a hiatal hernia repair last week and he wasn't allowed to do any sort of lifting for a month.

I blew my surgery off 2yrs ago because of nerves and naysayers! My surgery is on Feb. 17 th and I must admit i am scared Sh^tless! but I know I have to suck it up and move foward because my health depends on it. Hang in there and Good Luck!

. Hello Harley I'm also with emblem health care in NYC, my requirements were as follows 3 month supervised diet,co morbidities such as sleep apnea, diabetes I believe you need one or more of these and your good if you don't have these issues than you need a BMI of 40+,cardiac clearance (I have clogged arteries) if you google emblem health/bariatric surgery the page of requirements should come up in a PDF format. Hope this helps and Good Luck on your journey.

I miss Breaking Bad and am looking foward to Better call Saul, also been doing Dr. Who marathon's with my 8yr old (the newer ones) Helix,Brooklyn 99,Banshee and Homeland.

I know this is the right thing to do, my final wake up call was being diagnosed with type2 diabetes last week but I must say I'm a bit nervous!

Lol, you can always get one pre owned or wait for a sale I think the next period for big sales is Presidents weekend in February

Thank You.
