Woke up just now (midnight) and have to go to the bathroom. I stop outside the bathroom door and I hear a strange sound. The bathroom window is open and it faces our backyard which backs into woods. I hear what sounds like demons screaming. It sounded so scary i was actually afraid to go in the bathroom because my sleepy brain thought the demons would see me and come after me, so I just went back to my room. After some googling I'm pretty sure what I heard was a fox vixen call. After finding this out I was able to go to the bathroom and back to bed Yes.....yes I'm like 90 % sure it was a fox I heard....but just to be safe I have barricaded my door with the new tub of cat litter, double checked that the closet was empty and completely closed and also barricaded, and took a running leap into bed.

Technology is awesome

Having my sleeve truly was the best thing I have evee done. I feel good, i look good, I'm not worried about not living to 40. I had ZERO complications and practically no pain. I would do this again in a heartbeat

Be really careful. You are still healing and you don't want to damage your staple line. I remember missi g the chewing sensation. If you have a Sonic near you try to get just a cup of crushed ice from them. It has a really good texture and you can chew it up

How much protein? What does your plan say?

This is major life changing surgery. I'd be worried if someone wasn't nervous. Stick to your plan and you will do well. Good luck!

I have had a very hard time finding shakes that I could drink. i have recently discovered this combination that tastes amazing. I mix a bottle of carnation chocolate high protein instant breakfast (15g of protein) with a scoop of chocolate premiere protein and some ice cubes or frozen bananas. Very good and chocolatey

If you are confused then call them and ask. You should know how many oz you should eat and you should know what to eat. If they don't tell you then it is your responsibility to find out. Get them to give you a concrete list of what to eat, when, and a sample menu

She talks about being fat and healthy. I don't really think that's possible

Define sick. You are having major surgery, your stomach is being cut, there are holes cut through your abdominal wall....so there will be discomfort. To this day I occasionally get nauseated or vomit. Most people do have some hair loss but you can help that with Protein and Vitamins. I had minimal hair loss. But honestly the weight Ive lost would definately be worth some hair loss

Pregnancy weight is temporary. If you eat healthy you shouldnt gain that much weight.

It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. Stick with your protein and water and the fat will come off

Nobody here attacked. People are expressing concern for someone who seems to have made a very bad choice. Getring weight loss surgery is not something to be taken lightly. If you are months out and you cheat it's not as bad. But if you eat solid food so soon, before you are healed its not just making an unhealthy food choice, it's possibly causing severe damage and complication

My main tip is that it is going to suck. Be ready for that. You will be hungry and crave food. But stick to it. The end results are so worth it. Good luck!!!

In my opinion if you think you can stop after a few spoonfuls thrn go for it. Also try a yonanas machine. I love mine

Haha i mostly post from my phone so to me everybody's pic is a tiny blob

My initial thoughts are 1, why would you be eating pizza so soon and 2, why wouls you even attempt to eat a whole slice. Sorry if that sounds rude or mean... I can't say if it's normal. Only your doctor knows how big they made your sleeve. What I can say is that at almost a year post op I don't know if I could eat a whole slice because I have never attempted to. I have had pizza a few times since surgery and each time I cut a piece off a slice, a little less than half, and that's all I eat. Maybe a bite or two of salad with it If you are concerned then the best thing to do is to tak to your surgeon

The thing I'm really looking forward to is my weight not being the only thing people talk to me about. Since Ive lost weight the conversations have gone from you need to loose weight to are you still loosing weight? Keep loosing...can you eat that...keep loosing...can you eat that I'm going through a divorce, looking for a job, living with my parents, been super depressed....but the only thing people can talk to me is my weight

This is going to sound rude but it scares me when I see people ask such basic question as how long rhe liquid diet will be. If you are two weeks before surgery you should know how long each stage will be, what your water intake goals are and what your protein goals are. If you don't know this then you need to go back to your nutritionist and get clear instructions and examples of what you can consume at each stage. Everybody gets different instructions so you really need to work with your team to learn your rules

I think if there was a voluntary surgey where 1 in every 50 people died no surgeon would ever do it. My surgeon has done several hundred sleeves. If one out of every 50 of her patients died I think she might have lost her licence.

I don't have anything that I wish I knew before. i was very prepared. I think that may be why i was successful. I did tons of research. i had a concrete meal plan for each stage post op and I had terrific support from my family

The thing is I'm sure we have all had weight loss success before. We've all been on diets that worked for a time but then we gain it all back. I known that i have had many times where I would drop 50lbs....but a few months later i gain it back and then some. Do yu truly think thst you can make a lifelong change and stik to it without the assistance of the surgery? I would say go to your consultation and talk to them. If it's your first visit you're likely not getting a date right away. Go to a couple of appontmenta. Set a date if they give you one. You can always cancel it later

Fitst...if you post in a public forum be prepared for all kinds of comments including negative ones I am 10 months post ip and basically eat whatever I want just small portions. I have burgers, pizza, ice cream, chips...just small portions. I have still been very successful with my weight loss.

Best of luck to you. Hope you find your special someone. I am newly single and also kind of looking...after 12 years. I have no idea how to date LOL

I'm happy for anyone who has had success with this but the more I learn about it the more ot sounds like a bad idea. Yes some people who are willing to make a lifestyle change will succeed, but I still think people will abuse this. I think they will see this as an excuse to binge like crazy then just purge their stomach contents
