  1. Sleeve! Only because I have it...that's all
  2. Fantastic! You should be so proud!
  3. "Your body is a wonderland" ha! John Mayer says so!
  4. Nope! But I know a lot have. If it's close to surgery date as in a day I would def tell them but if not just stop it! I know easy to say but trust me I did 14 days of it and survived, you will too! Hang in there! Good luck!
  5. My Surgeon used a 36 French bougie to make my sleeve.
  6. "Smooth move" tea works like a charm, organic, and caffeine free!
  7. My advice: give your body time to catch up! 21 lbs is a huge amount of weight to lose in two little weeks. Trust me you do not want to lose weight that rapidly constantly. Sound good but you would be a hot mess. Relax! Keep working your plan.
  8. Just have your surgery. If it's not actual life or death then do you. Just my opinion. Even if your husband is with you, you will probably only need him one or two days (assuming everything is fine, which I'm sure it will be).
  9. Well he can just SUCK IT! Moving on....
  10. Premier protien ready-made shakes in chocolate since pre-op!
  11. Yay! Good luck! Godspeed!
  12. Ha! I did mine for 14 days. It can get old pretty fast and there's not a whole lot you can do when you have a strict plan like I did (water, protein shakes,broth, sf popsicles and jello..thats it) surprisingly I didn't find it too hard (and I NEVER cheated! Not even once!! Can you tell I'm still proud of that lol) I made sure to spread my shakes out and I found some really good broths from Swanson (Thai ginger,egg drop,Mexican tortilla ) so that also helped. You mainly just have to muster up all your willpower and push through. Just keep your eye on the prize! Good luck
  13. My only advice would be, don't worry about what anyone else might think. Who gives a rip?! You do what's best for you, your life,and health.
  14. Ha! Congrats!
  15. Stay focused and you will do just fine! One step closer
  16. @@highdesertblue I think I would be placing a call in the morning and find out what's the deal! That sounds a little off to me.
  17. Yep day 3-7 were the roughest for me. Give it a full week and you should be feeling better. Is the blister from tape? Are you giving yourself injections as in blood thinners? If so make sure your alternating sites. Hang in there it sucks but you won't remember it a month from now
  18. Yay! Congratulations! It's exciting huh?! Enjoy the journey
  19. I can't answer any of those questions. I had sleeve to begin with. I just wanted to wish you good luck!
  20. You probably won't feel restriction with water, you may have to wait until your eating food with some density. It's a little (lot) to early to be worrying about failure. Be thankful you can get all your fluids in, a lot of people have issues with fluids early on. Relax!
  21. Good luck! Hang in there waiting is the worst!
