Ladies, be very, very careful with Starbuck! My wife had the gastric bypass 18 months ago and I'm going to say Starbuck has put 30 lbs. back on her. I understand the craving for it, so I get the desire to want it but to me it seems like to much of a temptation? She also gets the tall skinny with no whip, so be warned. blessings!

Also going to agree with pdxman. I think also a good rule of thumb is to turn the tables on yourself and honestly asses rather you would be attracted to you if you were a guy? In other words, if a guy and yourself was about to get "your groove thang on" would you be attracted him? Most men wont admit this, but were wondering the same thing! lol.

I'm 7days out and still have soreness in my left side where they put the gas in. I was told that, that is a chief complaint after surgery dealing with soreness on the left side. Your situation does seem extreme and I hope you find the answer soon. Good Luck!

Congrats on making the decision to sleeve! I to have the same surgery date of 4/15, and like you I have to be on the two week liquid diet to. I guess because it will shrink my liver. Day 2 was CRAZY for me, I was so hungry! but day 3 was way better. Im on day 7 now and just putting my head down and pushing forward. No I'm never fully satisfied with the shakes, but I know I can do this. Like someone else said on here, pressing on to keep my eye on the prize! I find that sugar free popsicles really help and if you eat a cup of jellow before a shake, that helps me to feel more satisfied. Anyway good luck!
