  1. Advice on how to get through the fasting phase? When I don't eat I get angry! Lol
  2. Thanks everyone! My surgery should be in April. I am still on the 6 month diet plan.
  3. What kind of wound care needs to be done after surgery? Can you take a bath? Is taking care of the wounds difficult?
  4. Ladies I always have cravings and eat way too much during pms. Is something that will still happen once I have the sleeve? If so what do you do to control it?
  5. Thanks guys! You all are making this easier.
  6. I understand about the south. I live in New Orleans!
  7. No not my family but like the wait staff wondering why I dont eat that much. I just dont want questions. No one really knows im having surgery except family.
  8. Thanks everyone! I guess its just trial and error. Im just nervous. I will have my surgery most likely in April and I am trying to cover all my basis before then.
  9. Did anyone have Dr. Redmann for their surgeon? My insurance only covered certain drs.
  10. Thats true. I just dont want to seem different.
  11. Thank you guys! This site is a blessing! I have been so scared and no one who really understood to talk to.
  12. I have a family who loves eating out. Was this a hard transition for anyone? Is it weird when everyone else is eating and you are sitting there? Does the waiter look at goi funny? I want to still enjoy the family time. Is there something you all started with your family in place of dinners?
  13. I only drink water for about a year now. Isnt there a way to drink too much water? What about this leak test? Do stomachs usually leak and how will I know after I go home?
  14. Did you stress out after because you couldnt eat? They say you wont have the desire to eat. Currently the dr has me on diet pills and I am not too hungry. Do you know if it is the same feeling?
  15. I am going to my fourth of six visits next month and I am beginning to get butterflies. I have never had surgey and the term put to sleep makes me think of putting down animals. Was anyone else nervous about not waking up? I have so much aniexty about the whole thing. I really want to and know I have to have surgery but I am worried about after. I am worried I will overeat or not eat enough. What if I pass out from not eating enough? Any words of advice?
