You can make ur own with an ice cube tray and mio water or sugar free powders. The ice cube will just be a little bigger and u need to crush them.

Sorry about the late response, I was slammed at work forensikchic. He is coming to Houston on Saturday for a seminar and patient reunion and I will be attending. If you live near by u can come and it's free. Feel free to contact me for more info.

I can't to to meet him this Saturday, before me sleeve date on July 7th

Hey smoggy, Yay for July! Lol. I just have this fear of getting too big. It's weird but true, I think I'm taking all the right steps that my doctor gave me and god willing I will be ok. I'm just going to be really strict from today on and stop obsessing about it. Best of luck to you!

I'm starting my liquid diet early. I've also cut out the carbs and soda already. You can't just stop last minute, u really have to prepare yourself for what's to come. U will thank yourself later.

I've cut out sodas and carbs already and am trying to clear my liver early. Also, instead of a seven day liquid diet I'm going to do it for 14 days to be prepared! I know I can do it! Woohoo

Thanks jenn ur awesome ! Likewise to you.

That's exactly how I feel. If we were all healthy and positive then we wouldn't be here today. I'm just scared and I keep getting worried about several things from gaining weight to am I doing things right ? Wrong ? All the above ? I'm terrified because I want this to work. I know I have to work with it and I'm giving it my all I just get worried/scared .

I don't really think I need counseling but I wanted some tips from others. I'm trying to do things right and prepare myself so that way my doctor doesn't tell me my liver hasn't shrunk because I decided to say "splurge" I've been splurging for years and am tired if it. I'm a month and a half away and headed in the right direction I just dont know how to get these negative thoughts out of my brains. Get what I mean ?

Thank you thank you so much. I appreciate ur great advice

I won't be sleeved until July but I'm worried. I stress each day that I'm going to gain so much weight before I'm sleeved. I cut down on carbs tremendously, I stopped the diet coke a week ago, and I'm obsessed with weighing myself because I feel if I don't I will gain. I'm stressing and going crazy. I hate this feeling of feeling "fat" . I know I'm solving it and making better choices , I know I'm going to fluctuate but sometimes I feel like really huge. I think im going to do my liquid diet for a few days to clean out my system because I'm so tired of food! Any comments would be great.

Ill be there in July, but if you are close to Houston, he is having a seminar and patient reunion on Saturday may 26 at 3 pm if you r able to make it.

I use low sodium chicken broth and infuse it with basil then blend with a touch of EVOO. Yum! Make sure u take out the basil after infusing the broth

Sorry to hear that. I know a lot of things have a lot if carbs and sugars and it sucks. My a1c has dropped and I'm taking less insulin now. I get my carbs from simple carbs like veggies and brown rice or quinoa. I can't eat fruit be ause my sugar will get too high. I just have to stay strong and positive. Try not to think about it too much and watch ur carbs

Have you been walking to try to regulate it? I know that helps me

May I ask why ur blood sugar is high? I have type one diabetes and I know if my sugar isn't under control then it will take longer for me to heal my wounds and incisions.

They're are sooooo many alternatives. I'm a chef and the restaurant I work at serves everything on the menu GF. From pizzas to hamburgers/ sandwiches , and even pastas! It's very doable and really tasty. I'm sure u will do great. Any questions let me know

I'm Susie and people always say I'm "too sweet" lol

Are you going to Juarez or piedras negras ?

I meant to say all natural lol

Truvia is great and all

I work at the greenest restaurant in the USA , and it really does make a difference on organic and not organic. so many chemicals and pesticides and even hormones added to things, it's so horrible

I am a type one diabetic so I feel like I'm stuck with insulin shots for life. No matter what size I am, I have to take insulin because my body does not produce much. It would be great to get off of it!

I get to meet him next week when he comes to Houston and I can't wait! I'm blessed I get to meet him before my July date!

I have. Once I start my pre op I'm sure I will thanks !
