my dr told me I could drink with my food. He said it doesnt matter. But he also said you have to be careful because you only have so much room and Water will come back out if you drink too much after eating. That has happened to me not fun

Sleeved aug-21, down 36#s with preop. So far , so great! Started at 278.8,im 5'7. Now 243.2. Can't wait to hit onederland!

I am laughing hysterically! This made my day. I looked it up because for the last few days, I have been like clockwork in the evenings. I could use my farts to time contractions. Every 5 minutes! It is finally getting better, but i was the coolest mom ever to my 4 yr old for a couple days there. She would laugh hysterically. Hubby wouldn't dare get mad about it after all ive put up with from him! lmao!!!!!!!!

I see a whole lot of people saying they're not hungry- i am ... And i feel very hungry sometimes- though i'm following all the doctor's orders I feel very hungry throughout the day

my dr suggested add benefiber to some food or drinks, made a huge difference in my hunger!

How is everyone doing? Im down 27 lbs so far and happy eating mushys!

How is everyone doing? I'm miserable and I'm on DAY 1 of liquids. SERIOUSLY - I feel ridiculous even complaining given what you all are/have gone through. And that is making me so scared - thinking how in the heck am I going to do this post-op when I'm having some much trouble right now?? It sure is nice having a little "mini-group" of us!

Going to bed soon so I can quit thinking about food...!

It gets better! I promise. Now bits just head hunger.

Wow!! That is amazing. I started on 8/8 and only down 8

Im on day 5 of my preop and so hungry. But at least the headaches are gone!

I haven't been sleeved yet but I have done a lot of reading on it. Some people have mentioned a 5 day pouch test. If you google it you will see it. Everyone that mentioned it said it luck starts them.

I had mine today too!! I go back on may 23rd for psych eval, EKG. Etc. looks like I should have surgery in July. Dr Debarra to me he wanted me to lose 131 lbs. I'm aiming for 100. 80 lbs the first year. If I lost 131 lbs I would be skinnier than I've ever been since I was in middle school. A lonnnng time ago. I just turned 43 Monday and am so ready for this!

I have my consult with dr Debarros today. Glad to hear such good things.

I have my consult with him today. Did you use him?

I'm new here. Really nice to have a place to find info and get support. I'm going in two days for my consult. They already called my insurance company and all I guess I have to do is be seen a couple of times for 2 months and then I will get approved. Thank goodness for good insurance. I'm at 42 bmi so really ready to start this change for the better. Maybe it's too early to start in here. But wanted to let you all know I appreciate the honesty and kindness shown here. Thank you
