  1. So i had egg whites for breakfast, protein shake for lunch and chicken or seafood for dinner. Eat as much meat u want with lots of salad to fill u up. Never had issues during preop phase
  2. Everything your thinking about taking to the hospital don’t lol. Maybe chapstick and charger (i didn’t care where my phone was) lol. Use that pain button while you can and don’t overstock on items like protein shakes, powders or broths. Good luck!
  3. I was beyond scared, 2 weeks post ops i still have buyers remorse but I wouldn’t change it for the world
  4. It will go fast! Everything your feeling is normal. Congratulations
  5. I was asked the same question but at my preop appt. Never said anything before!! I was so irritated but I know it was all out of love and possibly scared for me. I simply said if it was that easy I would not be here. I know I made the right decision for me.
  6. Glad your doing well. As the others say start walking ASAP
  7. Did you ask him why 6 months especially when it’s not something needed. How often have you seen him this last year?
  8. I’m glad you were able to enjoy something you liked. Don’t let anyone make you feel any type of way for your choices. This is a judgement free zone!
  9. I’m 2 weeks post op and still feel it if I twist or bend a certain way. It’s annoying at this point lol
  10. Congratulations keep up the good work
  11. Just stick with it. The time will fly by trust me! Keep reminding yourself why you are doing it
  12. 29, 2 weeks post op. I gained all this weight after a horrible relationship. Tried on my own didn’t work, saw a well known dr for Wls here, at the time was considering the band. But it felt like he was pushing his products on me. I felt like if I didn’t buy his products I wouldn’t be successful. Then I gave up fast forward a few years later and I’m actually glad I got it done now. I’m settled into my career and now I can focus on me.

  14. I had to do it, i really thought they was going to make me drink a lot. But literally they had two cups on the table not a lot in either. I think i took 4 sips in total only because of the extra small sips I was taking lol. It was all of 5 minutes. Not bad at all
  15. I understand the lack of a support system. But I just kept thinking I’m doing this for me and no one else. I’m the support I need. I do go to counseling and talking to people on here has help so much where i didn’t feel alone. Send me a message if you ever need to talk
  16. Definitely agree! I didn’t use anything in my bag except my tooth brush, my face wash and my chapstick because i didn’t like the lip balm the hospital provides. My phone may have went in the charger but i was not thinking about that phone ?. Congratulations on your surgery welcome
  17. It will get easier I promise! Just keep pushing that pain pump hun! HW- 336 SW- 319 (8/28) CW- 301 (9/5)
