Question on speeding up the surgery date
I had a 3 month period also. I got everything else done super fast, but the wait is the worst. The best thing they were able to do for me was schedule my surgery for the day my 3 months was up.

Straws
My Nut said that straws cause us to swallow extra air. But if it's making it possible to drink... I say go for it.

How long from first appointment to surgery?
My orientation was in November, first appt with surgeon was Jan 16th, and surgery is april 16th. I had to do a 3 month supervised diet. I would have been done with all of my requirements after 1 month if it wasn't for the 3 month diet.

Tell me about your hair experience!
I'm still pre-op too, but I've been using the Garnier Fall Fight shampoo and can tell its helping with hair loss. I got the tip from a friend who is a few months post-op and has significantly slowed the hair loss with the shampoo.

Relationships after--pre surgery anger
I can't put myself in your shoes, because I'm married, but because I am married to such an amazing supportive man, I encourage you to wait for somebody who loves you inside first. They're out there. He makes me feel more beautiful than I could imagine, and my weight loss will only enhance that.

Syntrax Nectar
So I just got my sample packs of nectar and am so disappointed. They have a super strange flavor and smell. Have any of you not liked these and found ways of making them tolerable?

I am sending one of my friends a surgery week care package. If someone had sent you one of these, what kind of things do you wish had been in it?

Nectar protein?!?
I tried fuzzy navel and apple ecstacy. I didn't like either of them! I felt like they needed some sort of sourness to them. Also, the smell really bugged me. lol

Sleep Eating
That's hilarious! I mean, its scary, but I've never heard of such a thing. That is so odd. I'm interested to hear if anyone else has had this issue.

what do I do?
I'm 21 also, and married to my high school sweetheart. Marriage isn't always easy. Its hard work, and sometimes not fun. We all change as we age, but you can grow and find yourselves together. If you love him at all, work it out. I'd hate to see a marriage ruined because you needed some space to find yourselves. Not many marriages can bounce back from that. All the trust is gone, and hard to gain back.

Countdown begins.... :)
So exciting!! That would be good to get the gallbladder out at the same time. I really wanted mine out (even though I don't have symptoms), because its so common to need it out after surgery. But my surgeon said no. lol

OMG! April 16th!
Omg congrats! My insurance requires a 3 month supervised diet but it ends April 16th, so I did pretty good at being pushy. I was really nice about it though. They said they've never had someone as "motivated" as me lol.
