Found this interesting video on You Tube from a Bariatric surgeon regarding carbonation.

I wonder if Sparkling water is ok?

Good luck! Post when you are out of surgery (if you can)!!

You are NOT alone. You have us!!

Good question. Surgery date Oct 10 here and start liquid Sept 28

Sleeve buddies too!

Excellent advice!

Both excited and nervous! Keep thinking maybe I dont need the surgery...but then I think how much I do need the surgery...back and forth..

Hope all went well! Looking forward to your updates!

Wow! Well done!!

Thanks!! Hope you are right!

Yes, we get it,. Odds of my family and friends finding my picture on this Bariatric Pal Forum via google images is pretty slim. And if they do find out that way, so be it. It will make me wonder what the heck they were searching for to find a pic of me tho.

I get the ban on soda & diet soda. On board with it. Is Sparkling Water or Seltzer ok?

I am with you on this! Gonna miss my ol' buddy Taco Bell. Skinny is coming.

Your screenname would a great title to a soft porn. Skinny is coming.

Right. Going to get used to saying: "no thanks! I'm full" Friends and family are going to think I am in need of medical attention. Skinny is coming.

Same here. Getting sleeved 10/10 with Thanksgiving right around the corner.

I found by NOT adding paragraphs, the Bariatric Pal App wont change the font to small. Kinda wierd. Skinny is coming.

Bariatric office called today to inform me that they recieved the insurance approval! It's official now! Skinny is coming.

I am not telling my family either. My wife knows but no one else. Really not in the mood for well-intentioned yet ill informed advice from the family. Even if the flip side is correct and they full support me 100%, I dont want it to be a constant topic of conversation. Other people thrive on support from family and friends and that was works for them. But for me, this forum and my wife is all the support I want.

Not me. Friends and family dont know I am getting the surgery, Facebook would kinda give that away. :-)

Keep us updated!

Well said!! In fact, if you dont mind, I want to copy this and put it in my own thread: https://www.bariatricpal.com/index.php?/topic/365233-Killian's-Gastric-Sleeve-Journey/ If I ever get buyer's remorse I can re read this! Skinny is coming.

I just noticed that! And bonus: 10/10 is easy to remember. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using BariatricPal mobile app
