I have been on my 10 day liquid diet now with no complaints. I'm almost to the end. I am having one small issue though, bad leg cramps. I'm certainly getting enough fluids. I'm more regular to the bathroom then Old Faithful Is to the sky. There is literally no color to my urine at this point. Any ideas what I could do to relieve these leg cramps?

My second thoughts were only before I made my decision to have wls. I'm completely at ease.

Yes mom, I will call. I should have mentioned that I only get these cramps around 4am until I wake up. Thanks for the heads up on the G2, I was aware but someone else who sees this might not be.

I like the ideas here! Perhaps i'll pick up some Gatorade tomorrow. I figured that it is a little late to contact my surgeon now considering that I fly on Sunday and offer my organs for harvest in Mexico on Monday.

I don't like sushi. I love it! My first date with my wife was to sushi, the night of our wedding, sushi, 1st anniversary and about 1/2 of our anniversaries. I love a good dead raw fish!

Yep. I used to be proud of my turds.

Thank God, indeed! I'm so glad you have no problems! My poor aunt has swollen feet, legs, and ankles, and she has CHF. I'm so worried about her. I'm bringing her to a support group next month so she can get the sleeve.Keep her elevated about 30 degrees until swelling disappears. Otherwise the Fluid can build up further around her heart making breathing and her heart beating almost impossible. That over works the heart. It is a muscle and like any other muscle, when you work it, it grows (enlarged heart). That only compounds the problem.

It may seem impossible, but it looks like you are definitely retaining water. How is the health of your heart right now? My feet weren't very big, but after losing only 23 pounds, I can definitely tell that they have lost volume on the top, and even in my ankles. I now have to tighten my sandals around the ankle because my ankles and feet are so much thinner than before.My exact thoughts. I was thinking about congestive heart failure.

Changing your body shape changes your posture. The muscles and bones are being worked differently than what they were before.

I found that it didn't quite have enough banana flavor. I cleared it with the doc so now I add banana flavor to it, just an 1/8 tsp. I add mint extract to the chocolate one as well.

It would be so entertaining to give out about 14 completely preposterous stories like you are taking tums with Coronas and radishes, the Mexico Water diet that makes you poop everything out at an alarming rate, that you combined the raw and the Adkins diet and now you eat nothing but raw meat or you could always claim that you volunteered to by probed by aliens.Oh no! I actually do love eating raw meat and have dreams about alien probing... Perhaps cattle mutilation is in your future?

You have to know my personality here... I would tell my guys that I have a raging case of the crabs and recommend they disinfect the toilet seat.

The folks that want to do their part to ensure a safe surgery follow it to a tee. The ones that find they can't would be best served to delay their surgeries as they simply are not ready and need more time to get their mental game ready for the changes needed. Well said.

I was allowed unlimited amounts of leafy greens, but only allowed calorie-free dressing. If I recall correctly it's something like 4 cups of leafy greens a day... but only lemon juice or vinegar for dressing. Once again... talk to your nutritionist!Lemon or vinegar here as well but I'm also supposed to get in some plain Greek yogurt daily to promote good bacteria in my stomach. I mix the lemon juice and a spoon full of the yogurt and it is a pretty tasty dressing.

Have you lost all of the weight that you intend to? If not then you may want to wait. A friend of mine had extremely large breasts pre surgery and was considering a reduction. She had the sleeve and is in the 190'same and now she.wants a boob job.

I sold one of my trucks to fund mine...

One is my boss. Two of the others are her parents. I had issues with communication for the coordinator and then I found out that my bosses mom is also a coordinator. Needless to say, I have support for doing this.

I imagined myself reasonably small most of my life but in reality I never have been. It's not hard to imagine but it is hard to get there.

Trinity medical in Tijuana. Dr. Mauricio Gutierrez. I personally know 5 people that have been to him. Three of them work in the medical field and they all have said that it's the cleanest place they have ever been in thei life.

Freeze some crystal light into ice cubes and chew on those.

This made me laugh because it made me think of something I heard back when I was in school. The comment made was I'm fat and you're ugly but at least I can do something about it. I'm not suggesting you say it it just made me laugh thinking about it.

About 5k including flights.

Mine is on August 29th. I'm feeling slightly anxious too. Don't fret too much on the liquid diet. The first day is hard, but I found either having a little chicken broth or a sugar free popsicle helped to satisfy my need to eat. I've just avoided being around other people eating at the moment. Good luck! August 29th as well. 10 day pre op diet started today. My sales guy bought sushi for everyone today. It kinda sucked but strangely it wasn't bad.

I love mint. The girl scouts are going to be bummed because those thin mint Cookies are crack that I'm not buying anymore. My mint desires popped up today I wanted everyone's thoughts on putting mint extract in Protein shakes.
