​Congratulations!!!!!!! on everything. Being a bride is wonderful. You will have to share pictures, please, of the thinner you and your great dress.

It will get easier my surgery was April 25th I had a very large hernia which had to be repaired along with the sleeve surgery. I've been sick and swollen for about a month. I feeling much better at this point. However I'm still not eating much, but feeling good.

This made me giggle. YOU are brilliant......quick witted and a good story teller. Kudos to you!!! I hate them, I know it's their job, but that's tough!!! There is not a DNC list for businesses, which is too bad. My husband, who is the IT Director for a SW company loves, LOVES messing with them when he gets one.

I agree, Premier are my favorite too. Costco sells them in an 18 pack for 24 dollars. I have not tried the bars yet, but may pick some up today!

I rely on the Premier Protein to get enough protein. Half way through a carton I stick it in the freezer for 5 or 10 minutes, I like it much better kind of frosty. I got tired of the vanilla easily I wish my Sams Club sold the Strawberry but I am stocked up on Chocolate because I know I will be drinking it for months. Funny I thought the EAS cost more here, I will have to look into it again.

You are right. I was only trying to be sarcastic. I don't want anyone to kill themselves. Sometimes it's difficult to convey humor through writing. But I hope that most of the readers are familiar with there rest of my blog and can see that everything I write has a numerous twist to it. And realize, that making people smile is what I'm shooting for in every post.

LOV E IT I HATE WITH A PASSION TELEMARKETERS!!!!!!

Deaddemmama- I actually started buying clothes prior to having surgery. I have 2 suitcases FULL of different sizes. I am part of an facebook garage sale page for my area and picked stuff up REALLY cheap! If you have a facebook look for one in your area. Saves a TON of money the only things I have had to buy is bras and underwear

I feel you on the eat everything you won't be able to eat. I did that before my fast. However, allow me to tell you the truth. It will never be enough. The food is a mental thing and not physical. You have to mentally overcome your desire for food and not allow yourself to fall to temptation.

Your diet is exactly like mine. I started my preop diet on Monday. Day 6 I've had 3 protein shakes a day, some propel zero, and in 6 days I've treated myself to two sugar-free popsicles. Go me, go team! I feel a little stressed because I see how people advance so much quicker on their diets than we are going to be allowed to. Then I start reading this forum and I see how people try eating after 3 weeks and are in horrible pain, I see how people that advance too quickly don't lose as quickly or how people are upset that they can't eat like they used to at a month out. I see some people have complications that probably would not have been so bad if their diet after surgery went a little slower to give the belly time to heal. I think in the long run raindrop, the way our doctors are doing it is going to be better for us. I'm sure there are people that had no problems after the first week, but we chose our surgeons for a reason, and I think the way we are doing it is for the best. There is a list located in June 2012 sleevers called June Sleevers Compilation - Good Luck & Well Wishes and I added you to the June 5th list. That's a busy busy day Best of luck to you! Good luck to you. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/39508-june-sleevers-compilation-good-luck-well-wishes/
