Clearly..it is. There is a stigma with ppl who shoot up, snort,smoke substances..but food isn't so bad-is it? Well to me it is. Food is my escape, my anxiety pill, my anti-depressant,my security blanket. Its who I run to when I've a had a bad day or a good day. Its always there to listen..to comfort. But it comes with a price..your health. Emotional eating is detrimental to your health, which is why we are all here. Undergoing WLS is us taking control and demanding from ourselves that we find another venue. The key to avoid regression is to find a venue that can take foods place , one that isn't self-destructing. Basically swap the bad with the good. WLS puts us on the journey of self-discovery and it is a beautiful thing to allow ourselves to experience that. I pray everyone here including myself that suffers from emotional eating finds a self- evolving outlet. Just thinking out loud <3

My sergeon told me is ok to put an egg in the soup just don't let it get lumpy.
When you heat up the soup or the soup is almost done put the egg and start moving it around slowly

Lapband revision to sleeve completed! My surgery went well, I came home today-on Stage 1-clear SF liquids...can't wait for Stage 2! Good luck everyone!! BTW dont weigh your self immediately post-op, they pump you with so much IV fluids you will likely weigh more than you did pre-op.

Hello all my August Sleevers! I want to also wish all the early sleevers a speedy recover & hope all went well!
My date is the 16th & I have my pre op appt this friday the 4th! Thanks to my sister & daughters (1 is 3 mos post op) I know what to expect or what could happen post op! Im 4yrs older than my sister who lost her weight fast, unintentionaly, her hair & experienced the dumping syndrome. My daughter is doing Great! I hope my experience will be most like hers. The day of her surgery she was drinking her Water very well. No sipping & was released from the hospital the next early afternoon! She also had no Hair loss. She said her worse experience was the pain from the gas. I was there & she was acting like she was giving birth to her 1st baby![emoji23] she has no children but now she has an idea what labor pains feel like![emoji38] so far all I think about, after eating really healthy & well, is to go out & eat at some of the new resturants that has opened up here in San Bernardino county, Ca. Before I may have to go on a week of possibly an all liquid diet! But its 11:48pm (california time) wednesday night. that only leaves me 1 day before my pre op appt. So Ill settle for this 1 place called Habit! I hear they serve very good burgers!
Well Im looking forward to hearing the experiences from those August Post op sleevers!

So this just in...My surgery was pushed to August 1st, due to my white blood cell count being elevated ( acute pharyngitis)- PCP isn't able to give me clearance until my labs are perfect. So yea- this is a bit of a blessing ins disguise, by the date being pushed I get to accrue more time off work/ can take more time off. I am going to take 2 weeks off now instead of 4 days.

Hey doll.
So I peeped Jello and Soup broth last night. It's important to get it done so you can grab and go and not starve. I also prepped G2 with GENEPRO Protein from
gNC

Ok guys, needs some insight. Besides the obvious : gas x strips, Protein Shakes, measuring cups, Water, SF Jello, broth, Vitamin water zero, SF ice pops. Is there anything else I should stock up on, surgery is scheduled for 7/18/2017 and I'm shopping for everything on 7/15/2017. Help!! Thanks <3

I'd add liquid Tylenol, and a heating pad if you don't already have one. Both are indispensable the first few weeks.

I met my surgeon this morning and he said to plan on three week if no complications.

My sleeve is scheduled for 7/28 and I'm going back to work on 8/14. [emoji1360]

I was sleeved January 30th and took one week off. Still took it easy and I do have a desk job. Best thing I ever did was have this surgery! Down 70 pounds as of today !! Good luck !

I work a desk job and was back at 1.5 weeks. No issues to be concerned about at all. I just made sure to keep hydrated.

I know right! I get more and more excited ever day. 1 week 3 days...yay!

I'm scheduled for 7/11. I'm taking 2.5 weeks off. I've never had surgery, so I wanted to give myself as much time as possible to have healed and adjusted as much as possible. I figure it's best to take the time and not push myself. Also decided to start back in the middle of the week so that I'm not dealing with Monday rush or having to work a full work week just getting back.

TBH, I also don't mind the time away from the office. I'm on leave as if 5PM today! Excited to get the surgery underway!

My surgeon told me 4-5 weeks off work[emoji24]

I work from home so I only took 6 days off. I have energy for light cleaning and what not for about 15-20 min and then I rest. I had my sleeve 6/29/17 and have no pain or soreness as of today. I also drove for the first time since 6/29 yesterday.

I did go to a 4th of July party and ended up napping on the ladies couch. You do what you can do. Good luck!
