Does anyone regret it?
No don't regret it I had a tough recovery for 2 months I was in and out of the hospital for dehydration because I wasn't able to eat or drink . I'm also lactose intolerant now and I wasn't before. But I'm 7 months out now and I went from 326 to 209 and I have 59 more pounds to go. Stay strong you'll get through this. Get some almond breeze almond milk. I haven't had my surgery but I gave it up about a year ago because it gave me horrendous diarrhea. (Ice cream too:/) almond milk is really good and had good protein too. I thought of it this way, your drinking another species milk, we usually tolerate it but really is it something we should drink? Especially with all the hormones and stuff we put in it. I'm far from a vegetarian but I really don't like milk anymore.

Feeling a little nervous
I haven't had my surgery yet but from what I read here it is very normal. Stay the course it will break. It's your body's way of catching up.

"Diet" foods vs. real foods
You summed this answer up like a "professor of sleeve!" Now, I can surely understand and your response made me even more anxious for my VSG date to arrive! It's funny, I'm pre op and was talking to the Nut and told her the only time I ever lost weight was on adkins(30ish carbs a day) and she specifically said no no no you need at least 100 a day. I'll do the diet they give me for a few months after but I felt better on the low carb diet. I gutted I'll have too see if it holds true after my sleeve.

Fiber bars not good for me
Omg I ran out of the house this morning not even thinking about eating. So I'm trying to stay on my 1200 pre op diet. I was doing grocery shopping and realized I hadn't eaten anything. So I grabbed a protein bar. So I on my way home and realized it was doing bad things to my belly. I have been in there at least 5 times. Guess I need to stick too real food.

Come on guys I know pop ups are annoying but it keeps the app free and pays Alex for all the time and effort put in. Do you think he would have as much time to work on the site if he didn't make something?

Cats Vs Dogs (Share your pet pics)
This is my baby Bella and my BooBoo boy punky. These guys have been thru so much with me. They are always less than arms reach away. Bella was a rescue, she was show dog then got burned and her hair never grew back so the owner dropped her off a the groomers and never came back. She is 6 yrs old now Boo Boo was a present from the girls at work for Christmas 14 years ago his birthday is in 4 days. I love them like they are my children.

Bariatric Advantage
I got a couple of free samples from the NUT at my appointment. The Orange one is pretty tasty. I made it with almond breeze reduced sugar almond milk(I use the unsweetened one before surgery) added a little frozen cherries and fresh rasberries. It was super good.

I'll be okay. I've had enough pumpkin pie and sweets in my life. I'm doing pretty well on staying away from sweets. (I have to be on 3 month diet for the insurance) I do have my coffee creamer but I'm trying to go to the sugar free one.

Why are some weight loss surgery patients so clueless?
That's horrible that they left you hanging like that. Ask any questions you need. Im pre op and was kinda pissed they are making me have 3 visits with the NUT, but after reading your post I guess I'll survive... good luck

Why would you not be able to have yams or pumpkin pie? Just have a wee tiny slice of pumpkin pie after thanksgiving dinner and you'll be fine. I'm hoping I'll with be a few days past opp and on a clear diet or I'll be pre op and on Protein shakes only....I could probably put some pumpkin puree in my shakes lol

I've been thinking of getting 3 Indian looking feathers, a pink one for my mom, and 2 more for my dad and brother all of who have passed. Also some deer tracks too, maybe in glow in the dark ink. . Idk just something I'm kicking around. I don't know where I'd put it. I'm not much of a tat person but vBulletin I want something as a memorial/ancestry thing
