The berve that gives you that full feeling has been severed. It will take months usually before it repairs itself. That isnwhy you need to weigh and portion food.< /p>

They said all my issues could be controlled with meds?! The bariatric surgeon basically told me that this is their common response in order not to try to pay for it.... but I appealed it ...and they had 30 days to get back to me...
And now I got approved ...yaaaay!! ????

I am getting sleeved on 10/5 (4 days!?!). I have lost 20lbs on the preop diet. I am lucky because my husband is very supportive, and getting sleeved himself a month or so after me.

Just ordered some for myself, wendy918. Thanks for the recommendation. :-)

So surgery was Monday and I'm a bit sore and tired. No complications with drinking. Was able to get a Protein Shake down today. No nausea. I just hope it goes well for me.

I saw those at Walmart this week. They were available as singles. I also saw my local target had several smaller packets of powder by the pharmacy. Vegan options mostly.

I can tolerate the vanilla Premier Protein shakes, but my favorite are the chocolate. I don't do strawberry. I am curious to try the caramel ones I have just heard about.

I'm a year + out now. I have been eating sashimi since 3 months post op and I have it at least once a week!!
I've had rolls a couple times now but I have lost my taste for them - I much prefer sashimi.

I know I won't do rice but I think I'll definitely do sashimi when I'm ready to do a full solid diet. I miss raw fish.

I dreamt about eating sushi and sashimi. My surgeon said it was a great choice for my "first" solid food meal. I started with a spicy tuna roll but didn't eat rice. I was able to eat 3 pieces. Now I can eat an entire roll or several pieces of sashimi. There are always risks for eating raw fish regardless. Enjoy it!

Mines on the 16th and I start my 2 week pretty op diet on Sunday. I feel very excited but SO anxious. I've list 17 lb in 6 months and it has been hard going but I wanted a good start before surgery. Then this week I have put on 5 lbs due to snacking so I'm on a bit of a downer now as to how bad the pre op diet will be. I think I am motivated enough to stick to it but I fear it will be so hard to get through. I know this will be my new beginning but I feel so cross with myself that I let myself come to this obese stage having been a very slim teenager . I'm 55 so I know this is my last chance really. Roll on November when this waiting anxiety is over! Good luck to you all and I look forward to this time next year when we can post about our new lives x

Mistipink74 started a list also, most be a lot this coming month.

Wow..Monday is quickly approaching for my surgery and boy am I nervous! I think it's the unknown of what to expect that is feeding my anxt. I've thought about having this surgery for several years and it's finally here! I'm excited about this journey and pray I'm successful! All I think about is food right now....is that a bad sign that I'll screw this up? I miss my wine with my meals. Well, no sense in stirring all this up so bite the bullet and do this already! I know why I'm here and I know I can do this!

I think of a food funeral as your last chance to have those special foods you really enjoy before you can't have them again, as some people's tastes change post-surgery, or their bodies decide they're no longer on the menu.
It's a farewell to food, an Irish wake of sorts, but without the hangover the next morning.
