  1. Maybe I'm a bad Mom but I have 3 children all under the age of ten and I didn't tell them! They talk way too much and they would worry. They just know I'm eating less and moving more...they're usually too busy eating their own meals to really pay attention to the tiny portions on my plate!


  2. Hi @@nbateman06 its not a silly question! When I first met with my surgeon I asked him how many procedures he's done of the bypass and sleeve, what types of complications are common with each one, how often had he had to switch from lapriscopic to open during surgery, which surgery he recommended for me and why, how long he had been doing the surgery, the success rate for his patients with each type, and the mortality rate. I also asked how the sugary would affect me in the future from absorption of medications if I got really ill. I hope this helps to give you a starting point! All the best to you!


  3. @@BABS143 that's amazing!!! You're doing so well and it sounds like you're more than ready for the 13th. I also had a bad diet soda addiction but I've weaned myself off, loving Water now too. My skin looks so much better as an added benefit :-).

    Believe it or not, my surgeon doesn't require the pre-op diet or any weight loss prior to surgery. I've set a personal goal to lose 10 - 20lbs before the 13th though.


  4. @@BABS143 that's awesome!!! Congrats on the 20lbs lost. My surgeon doesn't require a pre-op diet but I've started to cut down on all carbohydrates and up my veggie and Protein intake. I'd like to lose 10-20 lbs prior to surgery.

    I'll check in with you on the 13th once I'm done to see how it went! Go team July!!!
