What about the ladies? What do I have to look forward to? I'm getting sleeved April 4. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Try not to panic. I'm betting most of it will be gone in a few days. Leave the scale alone for a couple days. For me, when the scale isn't moving I get super stressed out. So I just keep Doing what I'm supposed to do and forget about the numbers. When I weigh again a few days later, all is well. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@finallyfree....I would kill for a salad. My 2 week preop diet is low carb liquids only! I had an appt this morning with the surgeon and the nurse told me I could have 1 dill pickle spear/day. Woohoo! Something to crunch! Tomorrow I go for preop bloodwork and meet anesthesia. One week from today our lives will be changing for the better! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm day 5 of 2 week preop liquid diet. Surgery April 4. I do good until 4 pm then my stomach starts rumbling. But I'll have a Protein shake and stay strong! I just keep thinking "shrink the liver!" One of my shakes today was vanilla Protein powder with a lemonade crystal light powder (the singles). It was really good! Good luck to us all! Stay strong! Shrink the liver!!!!

Houston, April 4.

I'm on day 3 preop liquid diet and would give almost anything for a big grilled juicy ribeye! Of course I won't. I won't do anything to jeopardize my life changing surgery! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Day 3 preop liquid diet and my stomach is grumbling! I'm trying to stay busy and not think about it. Any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm not sleeved yet. April 4!!!! But I've been reading here people using Milk of Magnesia. And warm prune juice is a good suggestion too. I had 2-3 prunes to my smoothie every day. Can't hurt. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've had to turn off my notifications because they don't clear after reading the new post/message so now I have 49 notifications. But with keeping it turned off I don't know when I get a message. Please find a fix for this. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Where in Canada are you? My sister is in NS and is wanting VSG. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi all! I'm in Houston, Tx and getting sleeved April 4!! Sooo excited!! But my sister lives in NS and is feeling frustrated and hopeless because the waiting list is 2 years in NS. I was telling her about people from Canada and US going to Mexico. When you go to Mexico, do you still do preop consults like here? Psych/cardio/nutrition/endo? If you did do it, where did you do it? Mexico or home? If at home, how difficult was it to do your preops there with timing and getting referrals? I really appreciate any info you can give me. I know she is feeling very down and depressed. Thank you!!

I've been eating my "last supper" for about 3 weeks! Every day I say "tomorrow" get your shit together!! But I binge again. My brain knows I can have that again, if I choose, in a much smaller portion, but my mouth takes over. I was at a preop nutrition class the other day and was relieved to hear everyone in the class had been doing it too. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
