Me too! Although it does make it awkward at my doctor's office...;-)

If it's a consolation, I don't really remember too much about that time (at 11 months out). It ended up being not as bad as I'd feared and just another step toward something I was working really hard for. As for preferring "eating" over "drinking", I ate sugar free popsicles and jello, so I could chew something....

Do you buy the cauliflower gnocchi or make it? I love replacing carbs- cauliflower rice and zoodles, but would like another option.....

I shaved under my armpits (not even thinking) the night before or morning of and I really wished I hadn't. It burned like fire when I used the wipes. They had me use the wipes from my shoulders down to my toes before I put my gown on.

I'm in. Almost 10 months post-op. Plan on trying the Push-up challenge. Starting the month out at 184.

Putting an alcohol prep pad on my nose helped me with nausea after surgery. If you don't have those, maybe put a little alcohol gel hand sanitizer on???

I know it doesn't help you out, but the center I go to had a clothes swap last week. I didn't go because I'm still pre-op but they will have more and I will definitely participate next time! Maybe more centers will start doing them....

I spent the last few months prior to my first orientation hovering around 300. Somehow I was down to 299 at my first weigh in on March 13. The doc told me to lose 25 lbs during the 3 month supervised diet. So far I have lost 33 and hope to get a surgery date when I go back for my last doctor's visit on Tuesday. I would like to be down to 250 by surgery time. Will definitely be checking this thread often....
