My grandma tries to say things with the best intentions, but I can't stand when she's looking at an old picture of myself and comments on how me and my husband " blew up so quickly" and then says something like "atleast you started to get on track now"

I've been craving soda like crazy, I love the fizz, and I made a mistake of taking a huge gulp the other day. It got stuck in my throat and I thought I was going to choke. Taught me that my body just can't have soda anymore. I still sneak tiny sips every now and then but even after one my whole stomach feels so full. Plus all the docs tell you that the carbonation will start to stretch out your stomach. Would suck to have this expensive surgery just to sort of reverse it by having stuff that has no nutritional value anyways, but why do they have to make it taste so good?

Good Luck, this will be one of the best things you'll ever do, I'm a month and a half out, 30 pounds down, and loving every minute of it. I would say don't even think to much about what to bring to the hospital, I slept 90% of the time, since those pain meds really kicked my butt. You leave in the clothes you came in, and I never changed out of the gown while I was there.

I didn't stick to my pre-op diet 100%. I had to do two weeks all liquid and I would say about 5 of those days towards the end I did have about half a cup of shredded cheese or a piece of deli ham. I was craving so bad for something to chew. The closer it got to surgery though, I stuck to the all liquids, and everything went amazingly.

What a difference! Congrats!

Cleaning out is so exciting. I haven't gotten rid of too much though because my pinterest obsession has led me to a bunch of posts on how to revamp or reshape my old clothes, but I am looking forward to looking at bathing suits for the first time in years. Hopefully I'll leave the dressing room happy instead of miserable.
