Okay this may be completely stupid but if I am eating shaved ice, post op of corse, is a cup of ice the same as a cup of water! If we're only supposed to take small sips is it okay to have a bite of ice? I love ice, eat it all the time.

Book, binder, journal!! All, some or one? I'm starting a binder to keep all the info I find important from the boards. I am going to print out the posts that really helped me and keep them so if I ever need to go back to something I don't have to scroll through hundreds of pages. I will keep my before pics for when I feel I need to control my cravings close at hand so I can keep myself accountable. Did anyone keep anything like this?

I'm not a surprise liker. Lol

I avoid mirrors, windows, and anything that I may see my reflection in at this point.

My surgeon said I will have the drain for 1 week post op and he will remove it at my first post op appt. I also do not,have any pre op diet, thankfully!

This is AWESOME! Thanks

I see her in a few weeks for my pre op.

All the wonderful stories keep me positive. Congrats!

You look fantastic. I think you need to take a long hard look at your before pics and think of who that person was. Remember how you felt and then just get out and take control. You can do it!

Lol that damn pie! But this is a life style change and while I will be as strict as I need to, I won't lie and say I won't have a bite or two of my favorites. Moderation and staying on track.

That's EXACTLY how I feel. Show me what I need and I can follow it. Make me search and come up with my own plan, I will fail.

Thanks for that!!!
