Good luck. Walk as soon as you are allowed!!!! Hoping for a speedy recovery for you!

I recommend bringing ear plugs so you can rest. I didn't have them the first night and the beeping I've kept me up. I had them the second night. But I recommend you ask the nurse before using them.

Good luck!

Lol. Keep it clean!!

Getting ready to leave for the hospital. Surgery in 3 hours. Wish me luck! I'll let you all know how it goes.

Good luck. Remember is gets easier and fast! Walk walk walk!!!

I bought Isopure powder (unflavored) on line. It works well in my chicken broth. I haven't tried it anywhere else

Hi everyone' date='

I'm waiting for my sleeve to be done in November. I keep going back and forth about it. I wake up in the morning thinking "no way am I going through with this,... it's too extreme..." Then, as the day drags on, I change my mind and think about all the time I've wasted being fat and inactive, letting life go by. I've gone back and forth like this for months while waiting for my official date to be sleeved. I don't know if this is normal or if it's a good idea go through with the sleeve if I'm not 100% behind it. I do know that I'll probably never lose the weight any other way. It's so depressing. I keep thinking what a loser I am that I have to cut my stomach in order to lose weight, that I'm not strong enough or discipline enough to do it the "regular" way. Just need to talk this out...[/quote']

I will be a week post opt tomorrow. I feel fabulous. The first few days sucked. Now I have more energy then before surgery and I am already down 15 lbs. I am a fan!

I was sleeved 8/27. I am down 15 pounds and I feel fabulous.

Still on clear liquid phase

Thank you! I'm battling head hunger but seeing the scale move has been the most encouraging thing. I was an idiot and was overly enthusiastic in being prepared - so I have tons of Isopure that I can't stand the aftertaste. I'm using almond milk because it has 50% more Calcium than normal milk and after chatting with my NUT and fears of growing lactose intolerant because of more dairy in the beginning' date=' almond milk is good for that.[/quote']

I did the smae thing with buying too much isopure. I am planning on taking it in to my dr's office and letting them give it away or let people taste it

Hi' date=' I am Sue. I am 46 years old, two teenage daughters 16 & 14 and hubby I have a date of October 12th but waiting for approval from insurance. Will be having surgery with Dr. Noyan in New Jersey. I am a transcriptionist by trade and a SAHM by heart (but not pocket book) and I work from home. I sit at my computer for literally 10 hours a day, so I have become extremely out of shape besides the weight I need to lose so I plan to start walking slowly but surely. I am 277 and hope to lose 110 pounds.[/quote']

Dr Noyan did my surgery on Monday, Aug 27th. I feel fabulous today

I'm the 15th in NJ also with dr prokhurat/noyan

I was just sleeved by dr noyan. He is wonderful.

My surgery was at Robert wood Johnson - Hamilton Dr Noyan is my surgeon

I like the second pix too!

I am from Middlesex county, nj

My surgery was 8/27 I feel fabulous!!!!!

My surgery was Monday. I am down 12 since then!!

I think this is a recipe from egg face that uses wonton wraps and ground beef made in cupcake tins. Small bariatric servings.

Many thanks. I am soo looking forward to high quality not high volume food

(im 6 weeks out)

Brkfst: I had 5 layer dip (fat free sour cream & refried beans' date=' weight watchers mexican style chz, & onions) with abt 5 baked tostito chips

Lunch: 1 cheeseburger cupcake (single layer)

dinner not sure yet[/quote']

What's a cheeseburger Cupcake? Please

yes it does

Thx

Does it calculate net carbs on my fitness pal?

Thx

My surgery was Monday. I feel great. I don't miss food and boy I had a food obsession before. I did get all my favorites in before. Now I am happy with chicken broth. I have no hunger and needed to remember to feed my daughter (9 yrs). She is fed. Don't worry. But I used to live for what my next taste would be. Good luck

Eh heh heh......made ya look!

(ok the Valium thinks this is really funny btw lol)

Ha ha. Enjoy the trip!

I am bringing what's left if my Isopure with me to my one week checkup. I plan on leaving it there is I am moving to the next step.

I've been reading that after WLS one's sex drive takes off like a rocket? Is it true? I'm 4lbs away from my 2nd goal' date=' a 100lbs loss, and my sex drive has increased GREATLY. Sorry, if I'm being too graphic, but I can't tell if this is normal. I've developed a work crush that's very reciprocal-not good. I can't complicate my life in that manner, but I feel like I'm about to howl at the damn moon whenever I'm around this person. I've always had a healthy sex drive, but now...man, no telling what might pop off! I know...terrible [/quote']

Go you!

Congrats you look great and how do you feel?

I can't wait to not have a rash under my boobs (or find food in my bra when I take it off)

I can't wait to stop accidentally bleaching the belly line of my shirts when I clean the kitchen counters

Ahh' date=' not holding my breath to put on a shoe.

To not have little kids tell me I must be a good cook because I'm fat (actually happened)

TMI but to not fear crushing my hubby during 'adult activities'

And this is a big one for me: to NOT make fun of myself before someone else can.[/quote']

My belly turns the oven on. It has touch controls and when I lean over it starts to preheat

I can't wait to NOT have sore feet. And sore ankles. And sore knees. And sore hips. And a sore back.

I am with you on that too!
