I was pretty bad pre-op. I did cut out alcohol though (was a big drinker). But I had a birthday, kids parties and long work hours where I forgot to take the shakes with me and ended up eating toasted cheese sandwiches! One day I went allll day without eating and ended up eating a burger... I felt terrible so then I had about 5 days where I was ‘good’ pre-op. My surgeon was impressed with my liver (phew). Haha. I lost only a tiny amount of weight which I think was just the cutting out of booze. I also took ‘vegetable’ capsules which are full of antioxidants supposedly good for the liver. Don’t be too hard on yourself. I’m actually glad I gave into my burger craving pre operatively.... it’s a long time until I can have one again! Good luck. You’ll be fine :)

I've never been bullied really, so I can't comment on that, but I do know that we all will reap what we sow.
I can remember a time when I brought my car to a Chevy dealership in town. They were gonna change my brake pads. I had a warranty cause my car was brand new, but they said I couldn't use the warranty because the brakes were used excessively by me. In other words, they suggested that it was my fault the brakes went bad so quickly after buying the car and it wasn't a faulty product. I felt cheated because I never wore the brakes on any other car I ever owned so quickly and knew it was the brake pads that were faulty. Either way, it was under warranty and the Chevy company would have paid for them to change them anyway. I told them to forget about changing them and decided to have my husband do the job to save money. They said okay, but would not return my car to me until I paid them $80.00 , which was their charge to look at the brakes. They did nothing! We paid the $80. and afterwards I was upset that they ripped me off $80 bucks and did NO work on my car. I took the car to another Chevy place in another town and they changed the brake pads under the warranty, no problem. Well, I let God know how I was feeling about that Chevy place that ripped me off. I just prayed for justice. Well, in less than one month, they were out of business, just like that. They were in business here for as long as I've lived in my town. (28 years) You reap what you sow!

I get really full from strawberries. Only takes 3 or 4 until I’m ‘done’.... random! Haven’t tried banana yet (6 week’s post op) because I’m told it can worsen constipation. I don’t need anymore of that in my life!!!

It was a powerful doco. Confronting like a slap in the face!!
I also watched ‘That Sugar Film’ and several others regarding animals and ethical treatment. If I wasn’t so lazy and the conversion so difficult (I have two fussy kids) I would be vegan!! I try to make small changes..... I know exactly how you feel after watching. :)

This creamy chicken spinach bake was sooo yummy! The sauce is good with riced cauliflower. https://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=687100

I’m in Australia; normal stay for a sleeve is 3-5 nights. I stayed 3 nights which was perfect. I needed IV anti-emetics for post-op nausea which prevented me from vomiting. I had IV fluids and antibiotics for 36 hours. You’re supposed to be nil by mouth the first day. That’s a long time to go without fluids including pre-op fasting! No way could I have gone home the same day. I’m amazed that people do this. Does it cost extra for you folks in the USA?? I was out of it from the anaesthetic and analgesia too.... no complications. If you can spend even one night in hospital I would suggest it. Good luck
