I lived in yoga pants and tees the first three weeks. I went back to work with low rise jeans and had no problems. Good luck finding something that is comfortable for you.

The only thing you haven't don't correctly is to report his license number and a descriptor of his vehicle to your local police. If he has usual haunts or trips tell them when, work, or whatever. You saved your life and that of your child, but he may kill me and mine. You owe his victims that....and by the way, it might be the only way for him to get sober....some jail time.

My two cents, I'd be happy to leave that 4 oz of filet behind. Before the sleeve I would have found a way to stuff it in.
And really, it never tastes quite as good once it's been reheated.

Tell or don't tell it's really just up to you. I have told just about anyone. I am not ashamed or embarrassed nor do I care much about what ppl think of my looks. Nor do I think that ppl that don't tell are ashamed or embarrassed it is all in what you are comfortable with.

1 week after surgery.
Lost 17 on pre-op
I go today to see how much I've lost since I got sleeved on 8/22!
Keep up the good work y'all. It's well worth it!

Yeah, I agree...childbirth was worse. Wait...I think I wandered into the wrong forum...again!...ugh.
Damn, I'm so addicted to VST that I'll post on any thread...I'll leave this forum now. That is all.

it seems like it is just trying to get you some lower calories with a good mix of proteins carbs and nutrients... likely a normal lower cal balanced diet to keep you from the "last supper" mentality

it sounds fine to me. very much like my pre op diet. I did have some protein shakes though. Your nutritionist must that's enough protein. They mainly want to shrink the fat in your liver to make the surgery a little easier for them. The protein shakes should come full force in the two weeks post op.
Good Luck.

i hear ya on that one!! my dr actually called me in today because my NUT emailed him because she was concerned about me.....because im a HUGE negative Nelly right now.......they just dont understand how mentally frustrating this damn head game is!! hang in there tho, im 5 weeks out(not sure how far you are) and it seems to be getting a little easier for me. plus a little pep talk from my surgeon helped today.....i really do have to make sure i have something to do or i go crazy thinking about food and how much i miss it. even with 3 kids and a full time job, i still find that i miss that one thing that made me feel happy(for a moment obviously). we have to find joy in something new and find a new coping mechanism!!

It's basically the post-surgery week 2 diet. Isn't gonna hurt, will probably help shrink the liver some. Every program is different, I guess.

LOL. Yes, killing your employees tends to have a negative impact on productivity.
Congratulations. Keep up the fantastic work. You surgery date will be here before you know it!

Omg I have one last payment to make and then I get to pick my sleeve date woohoo. I am one day smoke free as well and have not killed my employees today is a good day

I don't think she intended to be snotty at all...just trying to soften your comments that may have been interpreted as rude and sarcastic. Intention and tone do not always translate well in text. Perhaps you didn't mean it the way it came across, but you don't need to escalate negativity in your response. We are here to support each other not fight with one another.

You also might have that subconscious thing of I CAN NOT HAVE IT SO I WANT IT thing that a lot of us have done in the past when on a diet.
Your also going to deal with your normal habits I too as a chip person I would eat them over sweet stuff any time so I get it.
This is a test run you say so don’t beat yourself up about it just work through why you feel you need them so bad is it because your telling yourself NO or is it because you really did eat them all the time so withdrawing from them?
You could also be craving salt on my pre op diet I had to have a salty drink everyday which was a gravy stock cube with hot water like a cup of beef gravy stock lol
So it could be as simple as needing salt and that’s your go to salty product.

Tha'ts ridiculous! I would bring something with you and explain to the person hassling you about it that you are on a post-operative diet. If they still dont allow it, sneak it in next time! (I always do at the movies....)

Why is it strange?! I don't find it strange that someone wants to know if this is something she will have to deal with post surgery, or be totally free of. I thought we were here to inform ourselves about this surgery, so we can go in fully knowing what to expect?! @Marie, I still crave for things! But knowing it's not safe and/or it will slow my weight loss, keeps me in check lol!!!
After surgery your appetite will be more manageable, and making the right choices ( eating healthy, exercising and drinking plenty of water) will help you be successful!! You will master your cravings and how to deal with them. I wish you the best

I love any thing spicy I'm hoping I still do then I love my hot peppers also but u never know I may not be able to eat them

I have noticed is that most of the time I really do not have cravings anymore. This is strange to me because I always craved sweets pre surgery. However, while it is not as intense as before surgery, I start to crave more carbs right before I get my period. I need to pay attention to this, because this is a danger time for me when I find myself slipping into old habits.

I don't think it's strange at all I to wonder what people crave after surgery. I am not sleeved

Lmao I was one them before ppl and I will be the same after. But I have gone to the same bux for 8 years they know what I want and make it as soon as I walk in the door lmao it's kind like my own little cheers i get a big hello how's your day and so on

I dont' really get the 'food funeral' thing - but I have had a few meals that I know I won't have anymore...not 100% sure why I did it, I guess becuase I could....as I certainly won't miss anything about food. I don't get the concept that you can't live without diet soda - or certain foods... please don't flame me - I just don't understand that mindset that food could be a 'friend'. food is food, nothing less and nothing more - to me that is. I just have an issue with finishing my plate....or eating a whole burger when 1/3 of it would just be fine - because I can - not because I crave it.
thank goodness I had the 6 months or prep time for this surgery - as I started incorporting these eating behaviors in advance so I hope i don't struggle after the surgery.

Its official!! Im not crazy, he cleared me psychologically.

Now 250 5'6 want to be 150

I started my 10 day pre-op diet yesterday...Please pray I don't kill anyone in the next couple of weeks!! LOL...it is SO boring.........
