Have not had surgery yet but while in the Dr. Oz website this morning I saw they had a recipe for an acid reflux smoothie and thought I would share with any sufferers out there. Maybe it could help! 1 1/2 C fresh chopped pineapple 1 banana 1/2 Cup Greek Yogurt 1/2 C ice Blend!

And thank you! Ooh! There is a god!! Good to know!

I have RA and have not been sleeved yet. I'm hoping my joints will feel better after this weight comes off.

You look Amazing. You also look like a real party dude. (Me too) do you miss beer?

I have not showed her statistics! But that's a great idea! Do you have any suggestions for web sites? 100 lbs lighter?!? That's hard to imagine! It seems like a dream!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Kamba! Well you get my point! Lol!!!!! My surgeon said Jamba is way to high in sugar an may make you I'll..

The psych evaluation was the one test I was actually excited about. I got As in college in My Psych classes so this stuff has always fascinated me. My psych was a cool laid back hippy chick. She was nurturing, listened and calmed me. She spent an hour doing one on one talking with me. We talked about everything and I was really open and honest with her. She wanted to make sure that I have thought about all aspects of surgery and making sure I have positive outlet to redirect my addiction to to that is positive, making sure I had a clear grasp of life after surgery and my expectations being realistic. It was a breeze!

Don't do it man!!

I saw my psych today and we had a blast. She is really cool and down to earth. An old hippy chick. Totally passé me with flying colors. My last preop test is my stupid EKG And that's it! I hope to be sleeved late march or early April too!! I am 5'4 and 240.. My goal is 130.

Good lord you drove yourself!! My office would not even check me in unless Someone was there with me. I'm glad you made it home ok an everything went well. The only thing I have left is my EKG and that is in 2 weeks. We just might be having surgery the same time!

I feel you.. I know everything will work out for you and you will be a better dad and husband in the end. Beat of luck to you!

I know. And that's why I'm not seething with rage right now lol!! I would be sated if my daughter was going in for surgery. I just would never try to scare her even more than she must already be. Thank you all for listening!

Well that sucks that your mom and hubby are being poopy. It's not a sign not to have it. That's just the way Mother Nature is. It has nothing to do with you. How many more preop tests do you have?

Constipation is normal. Tell your doctor and they will suggest a laxitive.

AHAHAHAHAHA! That's so funny that you guys have mothers that say the same crap. I hope I have a smooth transition like you did!

Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It seems like every time someone mentions wls there is always someone's friend of a friend's uncle's cousin's neice's neighbor that died from it. Or gained their weight back. But seriously, it's just a story. Sure there are risks, but the comorbidities that are weight related will be what really kills you. Shame on your mother. I'm certain she has a legitimate fear or she wouldn't be acting out, but what an immature way to do it. If she didn't love you, she wouldn't care. So try to only take that into consideration and sit down and talk to her about it when you're both cooled off. I have a long mind fucking history with my mother and I'm not mad at her cause this crap is just normal. I just think she's out of her ever loving mind! Lmfao! Your right about her loving me though. She just has a weird way of showing it.

Thank you! :-) As a typical pre bariatric I am excited, scared, nervous, anxious and ecstatic!! She always says shitty crap. Thanks again girl!

My mom is so crazy.... She keeps telling me "what if you die?" And then today calls me at work just to tell me that her friend told her of her friend who died on the operating table having surgery.... Then proceeds to say, "if you die I will kill myself and haunt you!" Really? Dramatic much? Well it pissed me off so much that I hung up and just started bawling. I cried cause she frustrates me, I cried cause does she think that I have not thought about death and dying? I'm scared Shitless to do this!!! I don't need her being an asshole and making it worse! The end

What was her condition afterwards?

Oh and PS: none of you look obese! Your all gorgeous!

This is all great info! I have my EKG in 2 weeks and that will be my last prop before they submit everything to my insurance. I have Blue Shield NetValue so it should go fairly quick. I'm hoping for the first week in April.

Does the gas x stuff help with the surgical gas?

Yeah my surgeon says to stay away from Jamba cause they are loaded with sugar.

Man I wanted something smooth too but was so afraid to put anything in me I hear you! I have learned a smoothie is my "go to food", I haven't gotten sick from them "yet", and I hope it stays that way! My mind is so ready to eat soft foods, my stomach is the exact opposite. I feel like it wants me on liquids forever lol. Fruit smoothies and yogurt (and my mind is so tired of yogurt haha). If I see another premier Protein shake its going to make an appearance too. I just finished the box.....I won't be buying another for a LONG time! Sorry you had to go through that, hopefully the next time won't be as memorable . Do you make them of get them from Kamba juice or something?
