that's the thing I'm still pre op

The scales look totally different and the Nut always has to weigh me twice she says it's finicky. The doctor's nurse says that they calibrate there's regularly. it's just easier to believe the bigger # and harder to believe that I have lost that much since June.

So on June 18th I weighed 565 ( On August 29th at Doctors office I weighed 535, at Nuts office weighed 550 then two weeks later at Nuts office weighed 548, then Monday October 7th at Nuts office weighed 525.4 now today at doctors office I weighed 474... will my true weight please come forward....)

I am still pre op, but I hope you feel better soon. [ATTACH]19448[/ATTACH]

Congratulations and a Speedy recovery!

how tall are you?

I'm a stalker, I do it because I'm nosey. lol

I love Chinese food....mmmm

I totally get not wanting a foreign object in your body, I feel the same way that is part of why I choose the sleeve. maybe it's a Missouri thing, lol.

I'm pre op I find it comforting that everyone is no perfect, we are able to stumble then get back up dust the cookie crumbs off and redirect ourselves. my confession is banana's n dark chocolate chip, pizza(thin crust) chicken Alfredo pasta. I have decreased junk greatly. i've cut out soda and little Debbie brownies. my last confession is when I read flagellation, I read it wrong thought it said flatulent which could happen with some of what people are eating.

as far as supplements I read online that magnesium glycinate provides highest absorption levels.

so at my NUT appt yesterday my weight is down another 10 pounds, so from 565 in june, now 525.

This is probably a stupid question but not liking it I don't drink beer or champagne, is it carbonated?

they don't want you eat anything crunchy or hard so u don't get dry sock which I've heard really hurts, you can't smoke or drink from a straw, the smoking it's a prob figuring out what to eat and no using a straw is the challenge. This a kinda like trail run on my post op diet. lol

So I'm pre op and don't even have a date, but I just had 2 teeth pull because of an abscessed tooth and was told to eat soft food like mashed potatoes or mac n cheese. It's just wrong that most soft foods are loaded with carbs, at least the ones that tastes good. I'm going to have to get creative and have a plan once I surgery.

That has to be interesting to do. I've always wanted a tattoo, but never have been able to decide what or where to put it.

Hi all. I'm went to college and earned my BS in Criminal Justice and now I'm a customer service advisor at a credit card call center in Springfield Mo for the last 4 yrs, before that I was a eligibility specialist at Family Services..

I found them online and they also come in Green Apple and Grape, I'm gonna have to get some before my surgery.

you look great. congratulations, your hard work is paying off.

I really like the shakes and yogurt, I hope it doesn't change after the surgery.

if you still need testers, I will.

maybe you could chop up some almonds or cashews in your shakes. here's another link on magnesium. http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Magnesium-HealthProfessional/

I bought a spaghetti squash to try, anyone have any recipes?
