I'm severely addicted to Splenda.... I am 3 months post of sleeve... I add Splenda to my coffee during days and my unsweetened teas!! I'm worried that it's a no no? I've tried stevia and I just can't get a taste for it

Anyone else surgery date June 13th

I got a call on a Monday that I would have to take a nicotine test in 2 weeks from that date so after the call I didn't smoke another cig I ran to vape store immediately and got Omg for my vape.... otherwise I was never a heavy cigarette smoker but I also vapped 6mg or 9mg liquids trying to slow down cause I knew I would have to take the test... anyway I passed on 2 weeks of 0mg and just got my approval and surgery date of June 13th

I passed my nicotine tests!!!!! Yay!! Now they said they sent the paperwork off for pre authorization [emoji4][emoji4]

I've been vaping four years..

I have quit smoking cigs for 2 1/2 weeks now but I vape 0mg nicotine.... it hasn't been awful I don't vape a lot but just when I'm really needing a little something. And it's 0mg nicotine just butterscotch flavor. I'm still waiting on my nicotine test to come back.. I took it 3/15... I've been checking online for results non stop lol once they receive results then the surgeon will send off my paperwork.. I was never a heavy smoker though to begin with

I Vaped 0mg in order to pass my nicotine screen and then stayed at 0mg for 6 weeks after surgery then went back up to my original 3mg. I had been vaping for years before surgery though.

Anyone quit smoking and start vaping PRE OP? I quit 2 weeks ago and started vaping 0mg surgery date is not set yet

Oh yes sorry I'm pre op I have my last dietician apt next week so we'll see what happens

This has been a long 6 months! I started out doing so good and making changes slow and for the better! I have also gained through out the 6 months though I have my last dietician apt next week and I'm feeling to a point where I can't do this anymore... I feel at a point where my minds getting strayed away. I also am a smoker and not sure when to quit I have it in the back of my mind but I'm also feeling like my insurance will deny me cause I've gained.... I've wanted this surgery so bad for my health and for my children. I love food and my treats and I worry I'll never be able to have them again uhhh sorry just needed to vent! Anyone else feel this way so close to end

After some advise and help please. I am getting the VSG in Decmeber and I'm trying to get myself in the best physical shape I can so the surgery will hopefully go smoothly. I am a self pay patient in Australia so i don't have any weightloss requirements before the surgery goes ahead, but I just want to make my body as ready for this as it can be. I'm 5'8 and 375lbs and trying to hopefully get down to 350lbs for surgery. I've been tracking my food and activity with my Fitbit and I'm averaging 1000+ cal deficits everyday for a month. The thing is I'VE GAINED WEIGHT!! [emoji24][emoji34] This ALWAYS happens when I try to lose weight and it's so discouraging. I feel like an utter failure and now I'm wondering if I should even have the surgery. How will I manage to lose weight after surgery and keep it off if I can't do this now? Did anyone else have this trouble before surgery? I dont know anyone else who has had any weightloss surgery so I can't ask anyone else these questions. Thank you for your time.

Thank you!! I need some motivation

OMG ME TOOOOO!!!!! I am stressed to the max bc I'm scared to death I wont get approval from my insurance. My last appt is 4/10. I'm contemplating doing the military diet or doing all liquids from now until than.

I'm in the exact same boat!! [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51] I need to lose 10 more in 2 weeks uhhh I'm wishing I can just drink some Protein Shakes and work out and drop some quick uhhhh

I have gained throughout the last 5 months..... I have been slowly dropping things I've been walking a lot and it just seems like I try and I gain I'm so upset.... I'm scared my insurance will deny me... they didn't say I need to lose anything before surgery? I need to buckle down ALOT more this last month [emoji51] super stressed

I've been working on controlling calories I have my bad days though and weeks are very bad for me

I have gained through out the dietician classes [emoji17] I think I need to push myself more and like one of you said try some shakes be good to get used to them now ahead of time.... I'm super stressed my insurance will deny me

Did any of you have to require to lose or what happens if u gained throughout your nutrition classes
