I am only planning to lose 70 pounds, so I imagine that makes a difference, but at this point, I don't think I'll need any skin removed. And btw, sweetxpetunia, I am the ripe 'ole age of 40 and am still pretty elastic, thank you very much! LOL!

I can tell you that the pre-op diet was the hardest part for me. I was mentally suffering every moment of it. Post-surgery, I never felt the same way about food again. The obsession and cravings for food completely went away. If I had to do the pre-op diet again, it would be a breeze - just because I don't "need" to eat certain flavors anymore.
Hang in there, I promise that a few weeks after surgery you'll look back and wonder why you thought the pre-op diet was such a challenge.

You have to use a lot more willpower in the two weeks before surgery. The two weeks after surgery are tougher in a different way.

me too i can pretty much eat anything and that worries me. so since yesterday ive started just with Protein Shakes and something very minimal. i want to break into onderland by the time of my next drs appt on 3/20

Mine is "Timmy" , after Timmy from SouthPark. I pronounce it the same way the character says it which is kind of growlly .
This is a funny thread!

Has anyone given their sleeve a nickname and what the reason behind it? I've dubbed mine Sleevester Stallone after Sylvester Stallone LOL... my sleeve doesnt always know whats going on and just when you think its down for the count it kicks a$$ and takes names...(cue the Rocky music) I'm so happy with my sleeve!

I call mine Wubzy because it's what I think it looks like. Also my sleeve is a boy but I am a girl so I often refer to 'him'.

i always refer to it as "my tiny baby tummy". but in a cute voice and i think strangers sometimes look at me funny when i pick something up in the store and exclaim things to my husband like "omg tiny baby cheese for tiny baby tummy!" he just rolls his eyes.

"My precious!!!!!!" rules my life--big time. No flaming Hoo-Haas ("Lord of the Rings")thank you very much.

Iron LADY;
Nothing but nothing bothered her.
Not spicy Tomato juice 4 days post-op
Not beef Jerky 2 wks post-op
NOTHING........and then, this weekend, along came the radish!

Mine is Roo after the Winnie the Poo character because he lived in Kanga's pouch. You guys are cracking me up
