  1. I am on day 6 of the liquid diet. I do get hungry but I am just trying to embrace my hunger! LOL!! One thing that helped me was the week before liquids I got off all carbs and sugar. I was really tired that week but now I feel great! Just starving!! Surgery set for Apr. 5 in San Antonio.
  2. I am having my surgery Apr 5 in San Antonio!

    I have also wanted to shop @ whitehouse black market! Their ads are so cute! I went to their website but was disappointed that they didnt have plus sizes. I was hoping I could shop in stores like that after surgery. It really wasnt all that?
  6. Thanks Tiff! As usual your posts are full of good information!
  7. Boy can I relate! I am still early on in the process. I might have all my ducks in a row by summer...who knows!

    I am starting the process for WLS so I am doing alot of reading about all the differant surgeries. I think the sleeve is the way to go but I still read everything I can get my hands on so I was on OH and I saw this blog written by a girl that had RNY and how she had gained all her weight back and several people commented on her blog and they too had gained most of their weight back. Most of them had RNY there was 1 who had VSG but I was surprised @ how many people had regained their weight! These people were like 4yrs out...I am concerned because this is a lot to go through to turn around in 4 yrs and gain all the weight back! Is this common? :001_tt2:

    ok I am guilty of lurking as well...I do find your story an inspiration to us all. I havent had my surgery so I use this website for information since I am still weighing my options. I must admit I do enjoy all the success stories. It reminds me to keep my head up during this long process. I went to my first briefing at wilford hall and I was so informed! It has helped me so much to read about everyones experiences. It will be awhile before I have my surgery so I just didnt feel I had anything to contribute. Thankyou for all your blogs you are an inspiration to all of us.
