I'm right there w/you! I sooo want popcorn too! LOL I'm 8wks out and I'm afraid to try it just yet. I will prob wait until 6months before I try. I think my Dr might release me to eat it at my 3m, but I'm too scared it will cause problems(that and I love it and don't want it to be my "trigger" food) plus right now it's a fine balancing act between trying to get all my protein/water in and watching calories. Don't have room for it in my daily food schedule, but sure would kill for a bowl full!! Its especially hard because my husband and boys eat it nightly! But I have resisted and am so proud of my willpower! That is half the battle, fighting temptations

Oh my!! Sounds just like me!! I'm wondering the same thing lol. I'm 8 weeks out and I'm constantly making weird noises.. Always excusing myself.. Gas comes and goes... Haven't had a problem w/it in a while, but tried broccoli for the first time on Sunday and have been gassy ever since! Ugh!! My two young boys are loving the new "rude" mom haha!! They think its funny! ????

Me too!! I had the sleeve, are you doing the RNY?

I'm 8 wks out and have noticed a slight decrease in facial hair, but not really enough to count... Hoping it does get better. My periods haven't returned yet either but I realize I'm not that far out yet, I guess I need to be patient.

I asked at my preop apt about the hospital policy. My surgeons handbook said no polish, but the hospital said I could have it on my toes. I wanted to get a pedi so bad before surgery (partly to help me fill the day before surgery w/distractions lol) and didn't want to waste $ if they were going to make me remove the polish. They told me no color on my fingers but I could do clear. I just ended up leaving my hands alone.

Hi! I'm in AR too... Had my surgery 11/19... Who are you going through? (Surgeon, program)

I'm wondering the same thing. Had my surgery on the 19th. I'm able to take bigger sips and haven't been using my medicine cups for over a week now. I do get an uncomfortable feeling if I drink too much, and it still takes me pretty much all day to get all my fluids in, but I'm also concerned that my being able to take in more liquid at a sitting may damage my sleeve..

I had my surgery on the 19th... Still on full liquids til the 5th. I too plan on just staying home this year as to avoid the smells and temptations. My wonderful mother is going to come stay w/me so I'm not all alone I'm really ok w/not partaking in the feast this year. Figured I've enjoyed (over ate) for 37 years and its not gonna hurt me one bit to set this one out! Looking forward to becoming healthier and having a new (better) relationship w/food. Learning to eat to live not live to eat. Still I will say that it will be sad not being around everyone tomorrow, but know that since most of the day will center around food and eating, I just don't need to expose myself to that just yet this early on.

I have 6... The largest is on my right where they removed my stomach.

My date is Nov 19th. I don't have to officially start my pre op diet until the 11th, but I am choosing to start it tomorrow. Figure it gives me a week to really get into the "groove" of it and hopefully be able to combat the temptations before I'm really required to be.

Yes, that is most likely the reason.

I did... My surgeons office said that they always do an endoscopy, got my quote and everything...so when I went and only had the order for the UGI I asked why and they said because I didn't have reflux or other problems that would warrant a more detailed test and that all that was needed was the UGI... Still kinda wonder about it, but they seem ok w/ the results and I have never had issues w/reflux or ulcers or anything else like that... Hope this helps...

The 19th! Can't wait!! Having an early Thanksgiving w/the family on the 9th before I have to start my preop..

I'm getting it done thru Dr Roller in Arkansas.. How about you? I'm soooo ready!!!

I have Cigna and it took 7 business days for approval. I'm scheduled for the 19th too!
