No game

Hey wait people! What about the stereotypes we Californians get??? You know that we all eat sushi, are bleeding heart democrats, own miniature designer dogs and get plastic surgery! Oh wait that's all true.... Never mind

Yes indigo! Age does play into healthy BMI Oh and butter I won't touch on your extra large head tonight... But I think your pants look just right!

You're a November girl right? I was a November girl last year .. It took me a year to get to this point. Just think this time next year, you will be right where I'm at. Trust me, this year has flown by too!

Lol! That's on butters personal play list!

No... Yes.. Who knows??? But misguided? It was a bit more than that. Trust me.

Ask butter...

Well complete honesty? Not long, a couple of weeks at most.. I began pursue WLS in September of last year I had my first appointment with the surgeon mid September and was sleeved in November. I had never heard of the sleeve until that first day.. I had only thought about the band when thinking of weight loss surgery. After my consultation I researched both and very quickly knew that the sleeve was the right WLS for me.

It's an old member that butter purposely framed and got kicked off of here because he was jealous of his abs and the skills with the ladies.... Butter wants to be the only perv.. I mean hunk on the app formerly known as VST.

Lol I had to go look because my ticker is missing in action here.. I'm 14 pounds away from goal

Get in line...

I think the first thing you need to do is be completely honest with yourself in regards to actual consumption of calories you take in. That is before quitting smoking and after... you eat 1 to 2 meals a day or sometimes none. You also say you can eat very little before you feel satiated, very full, If this information is true, How is the sleeve really going to help you?

Don't you mean

She might of been referring to me, No goal laura-ven

Lol yes!! watch... WE ARE THE BEST! THE REST OF YOU CAN SUCK FRANK AND BEANS!!

Oh dumps... I wish I could

We have several former sleevers that converted to RnY and stick around on the sleeve forum. I asked for them to please stay because their stories are important.. So post away girlie

Well it is winter..

We won't stone you, we like RNYers! especially former lap banders that convert to RNYers...

Dang girl can you see their "bits" from there??

Indian paintbrush??

Well granola will be way down the road as far as being able to eat it again. Even then you may chose not to eat it.. In the beginning before surgery I made sure I had a wide variety of no calorie drinks, drops, mixes, pre made.. Because liquids are the most important in the first weeks to get in and you never know what will be tolerated after surgery. You will follow a set eating plan for months and all drs are different.. Basics though are protein drinks (I like premier pre made) Yogurt (Greek is best) Broths and creamed soups. homemade broths are best and will be your friend in the first weeks. Canned broths suck! Sugar free pudding

You know what I found weird the last couple of days?? Newbies asking ok guys which is "better" The band or sleeve. Then you have all these infomercials trying to sway them to either side. I find it creepy and have not participated. I did my independent research. And that is what each new prospective WLS patient should do also. Not have a bunch of people taking pop shots at each surgery.. And in closing? THE SLEEVE IS BETTER!!!

Don't forget the green zone!!!

They just say that because it's the best they got... I mean, if they think putting a leash (or muzzle) around their stomach is more natural?! So be it. Now knock it off I don't feel like fighting with banders today...
