Tink22-sleeve

You are on your way! Wont be long now. good luck with the last few days of the pre op diet. Congrats and best wishes on your surgery!

I do myfitnesspal also, several times a day. it is very motivating. you can friend me- kimberly2222

Sounds normal to me. maybe the extreme temperatures are not so good right now. stick to room temperature stuff for a couple of days. warm tea is the best! the gurgles are normal. that gets better over time. it wont be unpleasant for all that long, i promise

I am 5 months out and enjoy a cocktail occasionally. but i think that 6 weeks out maybe a little early. besides, if i drink, i dont lose weight that day- so its not even worth it usually. my doc had told me to wait 6 months (i waited 4 months LOL). what did your doc tell you about it?

I take the gummies. i cant choke down the pills or chewables either. i figure- its better than nothing

I lost 10# on the 2 week pre op diet. Fear not, it WILL come off! You can do it!

i had this same experience. sounds normal to me too

i googled gastric plication and got all sort of hits including a forum like this one. im was sleeved and cant give anymore advice, im afraid. best of luck to ya!

I had the sleeve, not a plication. So i cant give dietary advice. Im sorry! wish i could help!

Nice to be "swept off your feet", huh? Good for you!

i think so. i used it pre op.

try using a good shampoo and conditioner. i also try to avoid using any heat, dyes, etc on my hair. however i am 5 months out and shedding alot!

chapstick, a heating pad, pain meds, anti-nausea meds (just in case), and a support person.

Five DOLLARS a day ? You are kidding me! It'd better cook and clean for me at that rate!

we no longer have the option to private message live, like before when in the chat room.

so, explain it to us already

Many of us came online tonight to find many changes. especially in the chat room. Most of us are very unhappy with the new changes- we can no longer chat and read posts at the same time, the format is different and we can no longer private message. now we hear about upcoming changes to include "premium" membership? wth? Many of us have found invaluable support and advice from this site. we look forward to the daily interaction. however, i will not be paying for services on this site. I thought thats what all these ads are on here for. I, for one, am very upset about these changes that occurred without any notifications whatsoever. Please, reconsider these changes. why fix something that isnt broken? All of you who dont agree with these changes please hit "like" or post to show our solidarity. Havent we been thru enough already?! Sorry this turned out to be a rant, we are all upset right now.

pardon my french- but there aint no _____ way!

say what?!

i only live 4 hours from the border. thought about going to mexico for surgery since i was self pay. but there was no way i could have made even a 4 hour drive home. i would really think about this. doesnt sound like a good option to me. be careful with yourself.

I am 4 1/2 mos post op and in the last two weeks ive been "shedding" a bit more- maybe 100 hairs a day. In addition to biotin I have been using the "Wen" hair care system. I think it has been helping.

Stay strong. you can do it. have a little faith. you are not alone.

i am 4 1/2 months post op, and have been noticing over the past 2 weeks that i am kind of "shedding" just a little. i take biotin too. One thing i did get that i think is helping is the "Wen" hair care system. its nice and seems to be helping.

From what i understand, the protein is lower but it is better utilized by the body. it does taste great.

Shhhhh! It's Secret. I've had two diet comes since surgery. No problems and I didn't explode or go to hell
