My nut suggested it.. Crazy how they all say something different.. And I might be crazy but i enjoy the taste of the acai berry flavor one! Lol!

I'm 12 hours out and feeling great!!!

Earthy- you're so right! I am very thankful for what I've lost, but I always get on that scale thinking I'm done losing! I will try to think more positive!! 9/3/13 surgery Hw 221 Cw 185

I weigh 199!!!!!!
Sorry, I had to brag because I'm sooo excited!
Day of surgery: September 3rd.... 221
22 lbs gone! I know I'm a slow loser but it's better then nothing!

Try the gas x strips.. If that's not working.. Make sure your using a sippie cup and try diff Water temperatures. Cold
.. Warm.. Room temperature, etc. good luck!

Yes the op is only a week out
And seems to be struggling by the posts that Ive been reading.
To the op. please seek some help. I would strongly suggest you put a call into your surgeon and explain the difficulties you have been having.
And as the others have said soda this early out could definitely be dangerous.

Hi Tanya! Welcome!
I probably can't help much.. But will say..
Ive been here a while and have only read horrible things about the band..
I had the sleeve surgery 6 days ago and am ready to go back to work. And I'm a hair dresser..
It was a piece of cake!---well, not as good as cake would be right now, but you get the picture.
My doc doesn't use drains.. I had sugery on Tuesday, was home wednesday.. And only took pain meds to sleep.
I shopped today, cooked my fiancé supper, and cleaned house! I've lost 15 lbs so far... And soo happy with my decision!
Do the sleeve!!!!!!!

Well I feel a little better! It is crazy that all doctors are so different!
Keep us updated on your progress waltd... I'm going say a little prayer for my stomach nerves to bring me some restriction!

Good luck to y'all on the preop diet! I'm a week post op tomorrow!

Does anyone do yoga in those rooms they heat to like 100 degrees? Lol

My 3 month prep period (whay my insurance calls it)was a joke...
Required :
3 month documented exercise program
Meet w nut once a month.
Documentation from my primary doc once a month about me discussing weight loss surgery
And a physc eval
Doc told me to join a gym and check in once a week at least so at the end I can get paperwork from gym saying my check in time.. He even said I don't have to work out if I don't wanna... Just go check in lol
My nut was in his office and I would go in once a month and she would say something like.. Okay next month try to eat less carbs.. I would come back and she would say Ohh You gained weight (bc i did) but I'll put you ate less carbs bc u did right? With a smile... Then document that... And then tell me to drink less calorie drinks... Then I'd come back and she'd say... Ohhhh you drank less calories, right? Then document that..
The dr I used was suggested by my surgeon... So she would ask me a few questions ab the surgery in 5 min.. And say ok.. I'll document we chatted ab vsg.. Then I'd leave..
Then dr recommended physc eval... It was same thing.. He asked me easy 10 questions then said good luck with surgery!
I gained 8 lbs at the end and my dr said... Oh no prob.. We just send in your starting weight....
So don't stress! You'll be fine!
