Swim suits
I ordered this from swimsuitsforall because their sale was ending and I couldnt find another company that made similar. I want something to cover my thighs because of chub rub and because my thighs are losing weight first and getting even saggier. Not sexy. Hopefully I can find better options in the future.

Question
They want to make sure you understand what you are doing. That this is no magic tool. That you are getting the surgery knowing your life and relationship with food is going to be changed forever. Its to help weed out the ones that will have instant regret and/or eat thru their sleeve and not be successful. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Swim suits
Has any purchased a suit from swimsuitforall.com? Ive heard mixed reviews on sizing. Any recommendations for swim suits for aqua aerobics? I am trying to find something that will cover the thigh area and not crazy expensive. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

24 more days
I had 5 days of crazy food funerals prior to the start of my two week liquid diet. I cheated a couple of times on the liquid, mostly with Protein, but was 100% the last 5 days. I lost 25lbs during those 2 weeks. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Protein in pudding?
I have a supply of WonderSlim bariatric food, some of which is pudding with 15g Protein. Its pretty good. I havent made my own, but bought the supplies to do it. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Cream of Wheat
I was given cream of wheat while in the hospital and on full liquids. I would say yes HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Pre-op Hot Chocolate
Personally, I wouldnt because it wasnt on my approved foods list and because it still has 11g of carbs. Youre better off drinking half of a chocolate Protein drink heated up. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Chime in!
I made a warm slaw of shredded brussel sprouts, grated apple, crumbled bacon and cranberry wensleydale cheese. It was awesome. I had about 1.5 oz and my husband ate the rest. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Weed.
However, this is not an option in 22 states. That's why I mentioned this alternative. It's also not an option for federal employees no matter what state they live in....unless they carry completely THC free products (which means they come from the same regulated hemp plants as the products I described.)The problem with that is people might not throughly research the hemp based CBD products. The CBD might have been extracted using harsh chemicals or contain negligible amounts of CBD. My main point is - People need to throughly research any product they are considering buying if they cannot get it from a reputable MMJ club. We know there are a fair number of posters and lurkers, based on some of the posts, who do not do the needed amount of research. http://www.drugpolicy.org/blog/are-websites-claim-ship-cbd-oil-non-medical-marijuana-states-legit http://www.thedailychronic.net/2015/41401/fda-issues-warnings-to-makers-of-legal-cbd-hemp-oil-products/ HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!)

Approved!
Didnt even think of eye brows. Good idea. Thanks! Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App Did it go by fast at least? Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App Yes. Surgery was on weds at 12pm. A lot of that day is blurry thanks to the nifty self admin morphine drip. Thurs was a lot of calling the nurse to help me pee, friday i was discharged. Supposed to be noon but wasnt 5pm. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Approved!
Thanks! I brought all kinds of things to the hospital, anticipating all this doen time to fill. In reality I slept most of the time that wasnt filled with vitals, nurses, family, walking etc. One of the highlights of my stay was when they said it was ok to put on pants.

I also got my hair redyed, eyebrows waxed and a mani pedi the weekend before. I knew that i wouldnt be up to upkeep for a couple of weeks. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Approved!
Toothbrush, hair brush, underwear and charging cable for your phone. You want really need anything else. You can wear the same clothes out that you wore in. During the stay you will be in a hospital gown and pretty much nothing else. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

6 months diet with dr
Your supposed to be on a diet, therefore lose weight, but since your bmi is on the low side of borderline you might want to have an "off the record" conversation with your surgeon about weight loss during this period. It would suck for you to go gangbusters on the supervised diet and make yourself ineligable. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

OMG red meat
Im the exact opposite. I can handle ground or finely chopped beef, but not steak. The few times I have tried a bite of my husbands at resturant, i always have issues. He just looks at me with a half pity/half resigned look and hands me his napkin so I can spit it out. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Weed.
Thats why I advocate getting your CBD meds from a medical marijuana source. There are several strains that have been cultivated specifically for patients looking for high CBD meds. I personally believe its a brtter source than those made from hemp. Rep clubs also lab test the buds so you know what percentage thc/cbd it is and that they dont have any molds/bacteria/toxins in it. Cheap weed is cheap for a reason. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16
