That's what I did the last time I went. Except that it wouldn't fit in my purse (I carry a clutch).

Believe me when I tell you I feel bad about what happened to you as I'm one of the people who try to convince people to try these instead of New whey. If you're ever in the Dallas area, lunch is on me.

Yes go back and being a bottle of Water with you to sip on. Let us know how it goes.

Definitely sounds like they got heated. So sorry to hear this.

Amy, you and I are fine - this proves it.

Are you familiar with the term "enabler"?

Once a day is bad, but twice is just psycho.

Welcome! NtvTxn speaks wisdom. The only thing I'd add to what she said is that the worst part of everything to me was the first four days of the two-week preop diet. Yes, it was worst than the surgery. But I'm so glad I did it because it made it so that I wasn't feeling like I was dying from starvation. I was just saying earlier that I *LOVE* eating less than a girl and feeling full. It's gonna be great!

I've only had the Isopure RTD. I like the Alpine Punch, Coconut, pineapple Orange banana, and the Mango Peach.

:lol: That was hilarious!

In the same boat. I keep telling myself I will stop shortly after surgery but Tuesday will be my 4 week mark. I go through the same emotional ups and downs you're talking about. In the end, I think I'm losing 3 - 4 pounds per week which should be fine. My twisted mind wants to see at least 1 pound per day and that's not realistic. Sorry that didn't help, but at least you know you're not alone.

Isn't Honey Boo Boo from GA?

Well done, young lady!

I'll see your two pounds and raise you the six I gained overnight in the hospital! A week later, it came off taking some with it! Relax, the weight will come off for you too soon.

Mine too - I am so going to need plastic surgery.

(Seriously tho, nice belly - I'm jealous.)

For me, it was definitely the first four days of the preop liquid diet.

You're not alone and a lot of us here at VST are each other's support. I hear what you're saying and I've been where you've been. I've lost 50lbs before with just a little effort only to gain it back again and then some. I was tired of that and this sleeve gives me a fighting chance this time. I don't care if others think I took some sort of shortcut or cheated or whatever, I didn't do it for them. As for dying, I know someone here that experienced someone dying when she had surgery and it shook me to hear that. I won't out her so she'll have to speak for herself if she sees this. All I had to do is remind myself of all the reasons I did this and the fact that at the rate I was going I was going to die sooner than later anyway and it was not going to be pleasant. It was a chance worth taking for me, I don't regret it, and would do it again in a heartbeat.

How long ago did you have surgery?

I will do that but I'm telling you if this is some sick joke and I take that and grow breasts, there will be angst coming your way! (Okay I'm kidding, I already have breasts )

Oh I will have spicy food again - it may be down the line, but I will have it again!

One night was enough for me but had my issue with dehydration persisted I wouldn't have argued against another day.

Walking in a pool might be easier for you. I'd highly suggest the elliptical for something low impact - if you can only do 5 minutes, no problem - just do 5 minutes every day. In a month, go for 10. Exercise doesn't have to be hardcore at this point.

I was told it was all about the incisions. I'm going on my fourth week in a few days and my incisions look wonderful I think. I would go now myself.
