Hello. I'm going under May 3 as well. Used to live in Texas but am in GA now. Good luck! If u fail to plan, u plan to fail.

I know nothing of "waist trainers" in terms of being able to recommend or warn away, though I have seen references to serious problems.
The notion itself is insulting and repugnant to me. Wearing a garment for a certain effect for a certain occasion is one thing, but do women really need another wholesale statement that we are deficient or defective out of the box?

I used Dr. Arun Rao in Jacksonville loved her and her team.

Looking for any Georgia sleevers

This actually brought tears to my eyes like u were responding to me directly! I think it's so wonderful to have positive people in ur corner. I can't really find it no where else, but this forum is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for ur kind words as they touch me in a special way....indirectly! I really love u ladies and gents here! If u fail to plan, u plan to fail.

Hello ma'am. Thank you so much for ur kind words! Yes I am researching eating disorders and I am currently taking Welbutrin XL. My depression had been in control for quite sometime now but this surgery is a major stressor. My appetite is small because I think my stomach may be shrinking. I talked to my husband and let him know how I was feeling and we had a very good talk. I'm glad to know that he is understanding and loves me a lot. I guess I'm just a ball of emotions. Lol I wonder is that normal. Sounds like it might be. Anyways, have a wonderful day and I hope to talk to you again soon. *Surgery date is May 3rd* If u fail to plan, u plan to fail.

I think everyone has said every piece of advice you could ever need! This site is great. I have a HUGE amount of support but sometimes that still is not enough. This is a journey that only those who have gone through it truly understand and sometimes this forum has been better then having support. Our "support people" don't always know how to support us or know what to say. This group will get you through this. If you're having trouble just post. Even if it's just help now! It will get your mind off food and people to talk to that truly understand your struggle. You got this!! [emoji8][emoji178]

I've never been able to really vent. I'm so soft spoken that even if I vented, it sorta falls on deaf ears. I'm glad u all r so supportive!
And serving our wonderful country was my pleasure!

Mind readers are what u all are! I swear I wanted to toss those things away but I didn't. Heck, I don't even like ice cream to begin with! Lol I think it's just hormones maybe. Either way, I did have a talk with him and he understood my point. My liquid diet starts Monday and I WILL get through this! As hard as this seems to be, I know that it isn't impossible. U ladies are my living proof! Every one of u are SOLDIERS that I look up to. I salute you all!!!

Well I've been on the 2 week diet plan that my surgeon has given me. This last week has been especially hard due to my cycle starting in the middle of the week. It was then that I noticed that I truly AM an emotional eater. Sweets make me smile. So I cheated. Only to feel bad and naughty in doing so. I also realized that my husband might not be as supportive as he appears to be. I went shopping for my new diet and he bought my favorite bread (which he has NEVER purchased) and of course, ice cream. I know that I'm a steam engine waiting to blow this week coming if he tries any stupid stunts like that again. I just pray I'll make it through this upcoming liquid phase. I don't have any friends or family here (military wife and veteran myself). I feel extremely alone. I feel my depression is coming back. This journey has been so tiring that sometimes quitting seems too easy. Either way, thanks for letting me vent.

Throw the bread and the ice cream in the trash (in the outside trash not the kitchen trash where he will see it). And also you might want to start therapy, going to support groups there's the support group sponsored by your doctors office, for military wives, and also there is Overeaters Anonymous, which I cannot recommend highly enough. Now post surgery you will have to deal with letting other people eat what they want to. And not letting that effect you (if you feel tempted by what he eats for dinner, then just excuse yourself from the room and go do something else like start typing like mad to your bariatric pals). If you are going to cheat on pre op diet at least make it a healthy high Protein nutritious cheat. Do not cheat with carbs or sugar or white flour. If you stay solid on your diet for 3-4 days the hunger pangs will go away, but every time you have sugar/flour/carbs it will bring the hunger gremlins back. We've all cheated so don't beat yourself up but honestly you're cheating yourself if you continue to sabotage yourself in this way. Big hugs! You can do this! You got this! And ALL of us are pulling for you[emoji41]

May 3rd here in Texas! Getting nervous!

Begin focusing on how you feel, like clothes being looser, sitting in chairs more comfortably, walking easier, etc. And don't keep a scale in your house! Yes, it will make you crazy! Hang in there. The weight will come off especially if you start some exercise. And do it slowly. Someone earlier said its a marathon not a sprint. Be kind to yourself. And be proud of every pound you've already lost, knowing it will stay off!! I'm rooting for you!!

Thank you. You are right, I should be proud of the 16, hopefully I can report a couple more by next Monday, one month surgiversary. If not I will keep on embracing the stall and remember that I am still down a total of 65 since my 1st appointment at the start of the program (20 lbs pre-op, 31 lbs prior to pre op from January to mid March from no appetite from a prior surgery I needed done prior to RNY and the 16 post op) So I still have a lot to be proud of. Thanks for the kind words !!!

Omg I love grilled fish with lemon or salmon patties they r great .
