Tastes like chicken
And i dont like chicken much these days

This is my favorite toast for a bridal shower:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
this is my marital advice for you:
Swallow

i am 11 months post op, and frequently get asked what i wished i had known pre op. here are 4 things:
I wish i would've known that i would still get hungry.- i was told my hunger would be gone.
I wish i would've known that the 1st 5 days of recovery could be difficult- i was told i would just be a "little sore"
I wish i would've known that my weight loss would be slow- i compare myself to others
I wish i would've known how yucky the Protein Shakes would get to be--they suck now.
Please chime in! What do you wish you would've known pre op? Our honesty could help those who are still pre op.
Dont be scared-- im not complaining. i love my sleeve and the results i have gotten so far.

That if you bend over after eating, you will throw up.
Everyone needs plastic surgery after WLS
A two week preop diet is a must to shrink the liver.
Everybody gets a catheter.
Sex always gets better- haha

oh yeah- "head hunger". that should have been on my list too.

I'm in too. Did a "fast day" yesterday. That went well. Had 900 calories today. Gonna take this one day at a time

Im having trouble losing this last 25 lbs and have been thinking of trying the 5:2 diet.
I know many of you have been using this diet as a tool. ive searched the forum and didnt get any hits. isnt there a support group for this topic? I cant find it anymore.
Questions:
Are you currently on this diet? (or have you been?)
What has your experience with it been like?
Any links you can recommend?
What do i need to know?

Tink,
I have no doubt you will reach your goal. You have a good plan in place to get there and have been so successful so far.

my weight loss goal for the new year is to reach goal weight (150lbs) by March. this should be realistic since i have 18 lbs to goal. i plan on doing this by continuing to follow the 5:2 plan, exercising sporadically, using MFP, coming to this site, and participating in a weight loss support group that my counselor is planning to start in January.
Thanks Rib!

The sleeve is a tool but can be defeated. The only doctor who had a sure cure for gaining weight was named...Kevorkian..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kevorkian
