      @chemica melissa campbell πŸ€ΈπŸ½β€β™‚οΈπŸ€ΈπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ€ΈπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ€ΈπŸ½β€β™€οΈ congrats I'm so happy for you. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!After day two of pre-op, I was fine as long as I had baby carrots, small /grape tomatoes and water with me at all times. Also, I walked every evening with my puppy. The day of surgery the nurse told me I had lost 17 lbs in two weeks and today at my 1week post-op Dr appointment I'm down another 10 lbs. I almost thought I was going to pass out I was so happy. You are going to do great:778_heartbeat::780_sparkling_heart:

  2. Surgery was yesterday and I was scheduled a gastric bypass , but because of the scar tissue from my C-section 24 years ago . After my Dr.removed as much scar tissue as possible he was unable to perform the bypass. The sleeve was done and I feel 😊 hopefully I hold the water down so I can get to go homeπŸ˜œπŸ˜‚

      @chemica Melissa Campbell Thank you, Thank you Thank you !!!! Baby Girl you are on your way. i wanted the gastric bypass as well, but do to the amount of scar tissue from my previous C-section didn't allow it.My husband o.ked it while I was under anesthesia so when I came to he told me first thing. Don't worry you will lose the weight you want.At the time I made that decision I was 275 and the day of surgery I was 255lbs. That 20 lbs made a big difference and if I do everything I'm told to do I will have no problem getting to my goal of 135lbs.

      This morning I had a swallow study @ 8:00 a.m. to make sure there is no leaking inside my new stomach.

      The radiologist cleared me to go home so after Dr, Johnston checked the x-ray he came to my room and explain the 1st week consist of clear liquids for 7 days.I got back for my post-op visit on September 7th so he can explain the 2nd-week menu.πŸ€ΈπŸΏβ€β™€οΈπŸ€ΈπŸΏβ€β™€οΈπŸ€ΈπŸΏβ€β™€οΈπŸ€ΈπŸΏπŸ’πŸ˜πŸ˜œπŸ˜»πŸ˜»πŸ˜»

      @Mimi of 7 The girls are absolutely correct. Today I feel 100% better by just figuring out what works for you on a limited diet.The GNC hot representative gave:P me Pro Performance AMP Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 Strawberry powder and love it .I mix a few ahead of time and freeze them so when I take with me they are slushy. He recommended I use it post op as well to help tighten up any loose skin If I have any. He also said that is is delicious in the blender with fruit and kale, spinach

      @MOcatmom Thank You for the words of encouragement. when I feel hungry my go to is small grape tomatoes, baby carrots, and the short cucumbers .They are so much more crispy than the large long regular cucumbers .also mixing strawberry protein powder in organic oatmeal with silk 0 fat unsweetened coconut and almond milk. It's a struggle but today I feel a lot better on day #3

  6. I have decided not to go through with the surgery. If they can fix the pain I have in my head then I believe I can do this. :)

      @smb123 I struggled at first myself, my nutritionist got me together and did not allow me to give up.Also, the nurse practitioner helped me tremendously as well.I almost gave up twice, but I have decided to go for it. I'm praying for you and I know you will make the best decision for yourself :780_sparkling_heart:
