My first period after my surgery was at least 2 weeks late & I am VERY regular. Don't stress. The b***h is coming eventually....LOL

I think as we lose weight our hormones get all outta whack. I haven't had a period since June and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I'm not pregnant It will all even out eventually.

You will be able to eat an oreo a while after sleeving but it will not be a big deal to you. I can eat one but get very little pleasure out of it not to mention that the abundant sugar nauseates me.
I do, however, get a great deal of pleasure out of seeing my belt buckle without a mirror.

lol, I typed in my starting weight and it told me it didn't have images for people that big

ya know, sometimes **** just stinks even without surgery....and invariably it is never one's own that is doing the stinking. (not to be indelicate - just real.)

Girl whatcha talking about? Do you know how many pictures I took till I came up with this one?
Lighting and angles! We are just better with the camera that's all

Hey poop girl? Where you at?
I just realized I've not heard from you.
Girl, you can't expect me to sit with you will you're waiting to poop and not want an update..
Hope all is well

LMAO!!! No THAT'S talent!

I feel for you guys. I have been in many high anxiety situations, fortunately the surgery was not one of them.
Debriefing myself after many a high-anxiety situation has taught me a few things. Most of what I was worried about never happened. The majority was imagination. The mind runs an infinite number of simulations in preparation but seldom gets it exactly right. Many times the greater problem was the stress of anticipating the problem. I would have better served myself by enjoying some pleasant diversion.
You might as well enjoy the ride once you're on it. I tell myself that when I get on terrifying roller coasters with my granddaughter. When I get to the cloud-scraping top of the first hill I enjoy the view before my plunge into horror. When the coaster pulls into the end I congratulate myself on my level of courage before my granddaughter says those words that put the gnawing rat back into my stomach, "Can we ride again?

To anyone else who comes along and reads this.....don't trust your Nut's advice blindly, or mine. Do your own research as well. collagen Protein is not what we need right now. It will not prevent muscle catabolism which is the danger of drastic calorie restriction. It will give you fabulous hair and nails but that's all. Preventing muscle catabolism is your primary goal in the losing phase....right behind staying hydrated. Whey is the absolute best Protein for this, there are others but collagen is not one of them. And if whey protein or whey protein isolate is not the first ingredient listed on a product, then it likely has trace amounts, not enough to be helpful.
And those shots deceivingly put "whey" in the name but have very little whey actually in them. Borderline false advertising.

Neither of my parents were overly religious and I can count on both hands the number of times I went to church as a child. My mom grew up with a mother who was a religious fanatic, everything was about the church and she sent tons of money to those TV evangelists. Nothing my grandma does is without religious undertones even to this day. She's a hypocrite though, doesn't live the kind of life she tries to preach to everyone about.
My dad was raised to go to church and he believed in God until the day my brother took his own life.
Personally I've never been able to wrap my head around the fact that there's a God that allows some really crappy stuff to happen to good people, or innocent children and people just say it's God's will. Hell, I don't remember most of my childhood because of a "god loving man" who also really loved little girls.
So, I don't believe in God. Sometimes I wish I did, because I've seen people's faith get them through some pretty horrific life struggles but it's just not in me.

I haven't been in a hospital other than when my kids were born either!

They allow gay scouts now, but (unless I'm mistaken) not gay leaders... So not enough has changed IMHO. My son was in the Boy Scouts when he was little but I took him out when he was treated differently for not believing in god.

Interesting turn this thread has taken. And while I don't believe that homophobia is solely a Christian vice, I do believe that politicians have linked the 2 issues together by trying to legislate their homophobia onto the rest of society in the name of their religion and "family values." Oh f**k how I hate that term, particularly because of the way it's been twisted to be so synonymous with suppression of those not like the mainstream.
But I too like to make statements. There was a time before my surgery when Chik FIL A got a large percentage of my paycheck every week....me totally unaware of how they were investing their profits. When I found out I had to quit them even though theirs was about the only fast food I wanted on a daily basis. They seem to have recovered financially from the loss of my business, but still I'm not going back.

September 16th here! I'm in California, and going through Kaiser.

I've told two people at work, everyone else thinks I'm having my gall bladder out (which is also happening). I work in an office of nearly 200 and I simply don't want people who don't know me feeling like they need to voice their opinion. Also if I'm going to be completely honest with myself, I'm afraid of failing (I've failed in every other weight loss attempt) so I don't want people knowing I've had the majority of my stomach removed and I still cant lose weight.
Stupid little nagging voices, where's a ball gag when you really need one?

Best of luck. You can make decisions about your life. That said, 64 oz of liquid ain't much!
