You might be a WLS patient when...

When you think you are constipated and take laxatives and only get gas, because you haven't eaten anything in 5 days.

(And yes, I'm in the hospital because of stricture)

Your dog is getting to be very overweight because you now have scraps left over from dinner.< /p>

You get jealous of people eating and drinking Water, at the same time!

This is something I'm wondering ...

Do I will feel thirsty forever after the sleeve?

After we Will drink again like normal people?

Well you won't ever be able to throw back a bottle of Water in 1 minute... or drink while eating... but the further out from surgery you get the easier it is to drink Water. It took me 15 minutes in the hospital to drink an ounce of water, but today I can drink almost like normal and don't feel thirsty. BUT you do need to make an effort to drink throughout the day because like I said, you can't just throw back a glass or two.

And your fiance. Any suggestions. I love him, but worried he's finding what I loose.

Cook smaller portions so there is only enough for supper or take the leftovers and put them in storage containers in the freezer for either a quick supper when you are running late one day or smaller portions for lunch.

When you've thrown out most of your underwear, because when you are sleeping, gas isn't always gas!! lol

Well I've just started this journey and am still Pre-Op but you've certainly just terrified me.

I'm commando all the time, gym shorts for sleeping and those are not cheap >.>

You might be pre-op WLS if you look around and all friends and co-workers have the Facebook app open and you've got the Bariatric-Pal app open doing research and reading stories.

When the sight disabled guy who owns the store in your building says, "You look tired and drawn out."

True story, the almost blind and told me that. I was floored and didn't know how to respond.
