@@John Michaels I say sure go to for it, if it's pre-op then enjoy it while you still can. I didn't start actually changing my food habits until after surgery (when I had no choice) it wasn't a hard transition for me I just did it. I was never a big soda drinker but if I was and I was cleared by my nut I would have done it. They aren't going to allow you to do something that would compromise you in any way if he/she knows what they are doing. You are saying one can Just during PRE-OP she's not saying that's allowed after.

@@MrsSugarbabe True , once I've experienced the aggravation of them I have no intentions of seeing them again. It's easier to just snip the sides and toss than get all undressed at work! I've perfected the timing!

@@AR40 I went from a 40DDD to a 32D so I feel ya.

@@CherieN Funny! I just said the boots thing yesterday! I did it!! Congrats on all yours!

Oh I want to know too..

@@KF2007 Congratulations!

@@LipstickLady Ohlala sexxxay!

@@MarceMonster Thank you! I'm sure you will!

@@Hisbrowneyedgirl Lol sweet!

Oh lord I just thought of another one as I was doing it and its probably classified as a big fat TMI and slightly weird ( not something most would share, but I'm a realist/big mouth so..) cutting off my undies! I kid you NOT! I have had to break out the scissors on more than a few occasions and chop those big granny panties right off! I drop weight and buy clothes but new underpants never cross my mind while shopping so they never make it into my cart. The most aggravating thing in the world is having big bunched up undies make a home in places that have no vacancy!! The girls at work crack up but I just can't take it. They already know the scissor hand signal. Don't ask any questions, pass the scissors, add sterilizing to the list of things to do. I'm writing this down on the fridge while it on my mind.

@@HopeandAgony Looking like a Victoria secret model!!!! Lol! Ha! Not really, I would say doing a fabulous pin up shoot once I hit goal! Really I've always wanted to do that! I have a friend who had GB and she did one after losing weight, it turned out really cute!

That's the 3 week stall, it's notorious and you should probably just keep off that scale for a couple weeks to not drive yourself nuts!

@@Catherine Davis Don't feel guilty, eat before you cause any harm to yourself or others (driving) Maybe you should call your surgeon and see what can be modified, I know quit a few people don't even have to do a pre-op stage at all so it's kind of a surgeons preference. I'm sure he/she would rather you eat something that have something bad happen. Don't stress! If you had called him/her right that instant it was happening they would have told you to eat.....

No clue to any of that BUT yay!! Good luck with your surgery!!

@@kayjaywlj That's fabulous! Welcome!

@@laguerr13 Right!!!

@@IcanMakeit Ha! That's sweet of you to say. I concur with the iPad thing that's what I use too and it is a PAIN!

Oh I have no doubt you will. You switch that time thinking about the loneliness onto yourself. Your going to make a lot of changes in a years time. Mrs. Right is out there, you just keep working on her Mr Right! Happy early birthday to you!!

@ Nothing! Just nothing! Trust me I tried EVERYTHING, the only thing that worked for me was acceptance. But hey, you make be one of the lucky ones. If not its just a phase and it grows back. Keep distracted by the weigh loss!! Sorry I know that's not very comforting but I'm not going to lie to you.

@@IcanMakeit Yes I agree they should or at least pay a percentage for the people who are really affected by it! I had the exact opposite issue I lost from every where but where I really wanted which is my thick legs! They are finally getting there, I was actually able to zip up a pair of those boots girls are always sporting in the fall. I was so excited! I always wanted to wear that look but my calves where always way to big so they would never zip on me and the plus size extra wide calve ones just looked reduiclous and not flattering. It's the little things skinny people take for grant.

@@jenn1 True! I found my sons picture on a website article about a gay couple adopting a mixed child.....People are nuts! They had to have gotten it off of my FB. Theses won't stay up long either.

@@Dub I show mine, it's right there on my profile when you look at it. I don't normally post a picture with every post though. Some might find that conceded lol! Kidding but if people ask I will post. I show the good and bad, heck I just displayed my old women belly on a post that went a trending! Here let me find some....there you go. Some of those fat girl pictures are pretty embarrassing! I'm just thankful I stopped the beating of the ugly stick! Very Italian

I also used those swansons broths they have in hot & sour soup, Thai ginger, Mexican tortilla ect...

@@Running2theSleeve It's ok to rant, you were obviously feeling overwhelmed about something last night, probably something personal. We don't need to know. I hope you feel better today. The whole process can make people act out in different ways. It's not easy. If you are struggling with the religious side of things I can understand that too. I had some of those same feelings about how God will react to me modifying my body when he made us with his own image. Like tattoos or anything else we hear is a sin ( I have some of those too) anyway if your struggling with that aspect of surgery I can understand. That's something you will have to pray about. I hope you find peace with whatever it is that's bothering you.

I still stay around 800 calories a day and I'm 9 months post -op. It's getting harder to do though. It was easy in the beginning. I also try to keep my carbs low. I usually track everything I eat. I just knew it would get harder eventually once I lost so much and it has, now I will have to exercise to get the rest off I'm sure, I didn't exercise at all the first 96 lbs.
