    J San got a reaction from Rebuilding the Temple in One Month Post Op-Is it just me?   
    Still pre op but from reading A LOT on this site I don't think the Fluid intake has to be all Water. Maybe try flavoring the water with something. I know you said you don't intake the artificial sweeteners but what about something with Stevia, is that considered a natural sweetener being it's from a plant? I think so. I'm sure this was no help at all but good luck.

    Poor you, sorry to hear it wasn't as simple as waiting it out and it getting better on it's own. Speedy recovery and hope there are no more bumps in the road for you.

    Great work, you look really good. Congrats on the loss. Also great advice, have things on hand to keep you on the diet. I could see grabbing something unhealthy just because it's easy if there is nothing around.
    THANX

    J San got a reaction from FluffyChix in Piece left behind after revision surgery??   
    I would consult a lawyer. 1st doc says it in "YOUR" head, and 2nd says he could remove it during an office visit? That does not sound safe at all to me. Wouldn't cutting you open digging into your ribs to remove something be considered surgery? It's not a splinter in your finger.... Good luck whatever you do, hope everything is positive from here on!!!

    Stop wasting your time with this jackhole. What a piece of sh*t. If I lived near you I'd lay him on his ass.
    Listen, take the advise of all these people and get rid of this guy. There is literally nothing he is doing for you that you can't do for yourself. There is someone perfect for you out there. Don't forget this D-bag though, use him as a reminder of what you don't need in your life. This is your life and YOU need to make sure your happy with it. Maybe part of the reason why you started this journey to begin with. Best of luck to you!!!

    So do I. Congrats man!! I especially like this story because we are the same height. Currently I'm about 20lbs heavier than you were at your heaviest but should be down to that by date of surgery. Good luck on your journey, I look forward to following your success.

    J San reacted to newself in Newb looking for insight....Sorry such a long read   
    My advice is to literally take this one day at a time. On one hand, it's very helpful to know what others are experiencing beofre and after the surgery, but on the other hand it can be really overwhelming reading the various experiences, opinions etc. You are in the beginning of a crazy journey so focus on what you need to do now, and don't get too freaked out about the future. You will do fine, just being able to reach out for help and feedback is great! A supportive family is very helpful.
    We all have issues otherwise we would not be here. Just taking this first step proves you want a better healthier life for yourself and that is the opposite of crazy!

    I did this as well. I didn’t purchase much besides smaller plates/bowls. I am having a revision (vsg to rny) and having smaller dishes helped me eating smaller portions. Also just stocked up on Protein Drinks
    i also purchased mederma, it’s a scar cream to help lighten a scar. It’s for vanity purposes but my scars tend to get pretty dark.
    I am curious to see others responses as well

    Hey all!
    I'm starting my pre-op diet and thinking about surgery. And most importantly, after surgery. Want to know what were some necessities for those of you who have already gone through this. I'd really hate to stock up on unnecessary items. But also don't want to find myself without.
    Thanks Guys!
