Why can't I just stop? (Eating until it hurts)
Yep, you got some good advice above...stop doing that now! Use your self Control! You don't want to hurt your new stomach . It's now even close to being healed at this point. Just mention it to your surgeon And see what he/she has to say about it. Good luck.

The Guys Room...
Oh my! So are we in the guys room right now? I just respond to the "recent topics" on the right. It doesn't say where they are located. I can't be trusted to read and not respond! That's just asking for trouble! I would probably end up a human combustion case. I shall try to avoid the man room if at all possible. Although I would like to point out the fact that using the "guys room " header is like the boys only tree house my brother had...posting that on the door didn't so much work out for him.....thanks @@proudgrammy

Day 2 of Optifast diet
@@GeoJen Hi, welcome! And just let me say there is nothing wrong with putting someone else on food duty during this time. I did! My husband was responsible for all the food for the kids and himself while I stayed in my room and guess what...they didn't starve and I didn't cheat! Boom! Done! Good luck!

Denial after Precertification Approval (Aetna)?
@@NewBeginning2015 I would be completely amazed if you got denied the day or surgery...not going to happen! I was not even weighed the day of surgery. Don't worry about it , it's a little to late your surgery would be done before they ever knew anyway!

One step closer!
@@laurenella82 Yay!! Congrats! It's about time!

Scared to Death for Post Op
@@Docgerri BUT, (because there's always a but) water is still a pain to get down in a day! I still don't know why that is and it seems like it's an issue with A lot of people. Just plain water ugh! I have to really focus on getting it all in. It doesn't hurt or anything it's just difficult...I can't really explain it.

Scared to Death for Post Op
@@Docgerri Hi! I am one who has no problems keeping anything down. I can eat anything I just can't eat very much. Maybe a couple spoonfuls. I freaking love it though! It's the best feeling in the world to go from always hungry and eating what felt like all the time to full in a couple bites and never feeling any hunger! I think I may be one of The "lucky" ones though because some do still feel hunger. Now when I go to a resturant I don't order food I just Share off my family's plates. Usually a couple bites of grilled chicken and a bite or two of a veggie. It's lovely!!!
