ppasjm, that's GOOD!!! I like the paycheck comparison! I shall look in to doing that (IF I SURVIVE THIS)

You guys are AWESOME! I'm just SO worried that I can't do this... My husband (who just got done crunching on his yummy dinner) told me "just make it to tomorrow, and THEN call the dr's office". Thankfully, it's almost bedtime, but I just look ahead and see that I have 6 MORE DAYS OF THIS!!! You guys are all SUCH an inspiration! (in my hubs defense, he DID offer to make me some soup even thought I threatened to shove the soup "where the sun might not shine", he tried). A little confession here, I CAN'T STAND the NUT. She's very strange and sort of condescending. I feel like I should already know all this already. But all that has just gone out the window (along with what I fear is my sanity).

I'm sitting here right now crying and reading this... Thanks for the encouragement. I just wish the surgery was tomorrow and I could be on the other side. Maybe there'd be a "light at the end of the tunnel (that wasn't a train carrying a load of people all crunching on foods that smell delicious)". I keep reading on here where people have slip-ups and others reply saying they're not committed or they aren't strong enough to follow what their doctor is telling them. I don't want to be a failure.

Normally, I love chicken broth. But, the other day I was SO worn out over the whole liquids process that I would've cried if someone handed me chicken broth. I've prayed and prayed....

Thanks for the tips! I will try them ALL. At this point, all I see the protein shakes are good for is brick mortar or torture for prisoners. I feel like such a failure... I'm now worried I won't be successful at this. All because I can't drink shakes!

Oh!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting me know I'm "normal". I have already had 2 meltdowns today out of frustration at myself! Normally, I'm a very even-keeled person. I'm always smiling and friendly, but yesterday, if I thought I wouldn't have gone to jail, I would've rammed everyone with my car and then promptly driven to McDonald's (because they have the BEST Dr Pepper and all larges are only $1) and bought TWO Dr Peppers and just sat in the parking lot, double fist drinking them!

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum and new to the world of gastric sleeve... I'm looking for suggestions for a provider in San Antonio or Austin. Any GREAT experiences? Any HORRIBLE experiences? Any and all information would be helpful! Thanks...

I'm insured and have secondary insurance... Of course, it depends on if they "approve" me. Hahahaha!!! Actually, Dr Sherrod is a part of the physician group I am looking in to. How was your office experience? Bedside manner? Etc... Oh.... And... SAW EM OFF!!!

BadBoy, thanks! That's one of the things I want to avoid (the assembly line)... I'll look in to Methodist.
