YOU LOOK GREAT!!!!

Let me not commit the same 'crime' as your doc, but the 'one size fits all' is usually between 1000 -1200 cals.

I'm almost 2 years post op and I can still feel my sleeve. I can point on my body and tell you exactly where it is. Depending on what I eat and drink I can feel every inch of it. The only time it is painful is if I overeat or eat too fast. Your body is telling you to slow down or ease up. Early on right after surgery I could not tolerate cold liquids. That eased up over the first month. Cold was ok but ice cold or too cold was like daggers.

I have my 2-week post op appointment Thursday, and I've stepped on the scale a few times and kinda feel like I should've lost more. I'm supposed to be on strictly liquids, buuuuuuut [emoji849] I know I could've done better. I hope to hear good things on Thursday, but I know once I get back home that I'll make myself do better. Also!, I hope once I actually eat eat that I'm really restricted like most.

Just got a call today my insurance approved me and I have my surgery in 2 weeks! March 22nd can't come soon enough! Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

Try to keep yourself busy or get out of the house when you can. Hell, some nights I just went to bed an hour early because I didn't want to be up thinking about the surgery or food. The last few days can wear you down. We've all been there but you can get through it. Just have to look forward to the future and a new healthier you. Does your plan not allow you to have protein shakes? Most everybody's seems to or is that the packets you are referring to?

I felt the same! But it does get better. Give it three weeks and you'll forget the pain as if you never felt anything.

I will have a passport but my husband can't. So I will be doing this alone which makes me a little scared to be alone. But, I am doing this!

one time at the mall...... lol i stood in front of Lane Bryant and shot the the double bird and said..... F u Lane Bryant.... hehehe it felt sooooo Good Friday i went to Dillards and bought in the JR. section a pair of Levi's size 5 super skinny low rise..... it felt amazing....

@@sweesee Torrid was the first place I dumped months ago. They haven't had cute clothes in about 2 years, I dunno what their buyers are thinking. I am so sick of all that skulls and pleather they push. The final straw was in the fall when I went there, and they were trying to put me in the wrong bra, telling me just to hook it on the last hooks, umm thats not how you start with a bra, as soon as it warms to your body and stretches a little, you have no where to go. Also, $40 for a graphic tee? DIAF Torrid. @@gowalking The weird thing is looking at the clothes and knowing they are too big, even the smallest ones. I used to be in the top sizes at plus size stores, so I was always looking for a roomy 28. Now to know that I won't even fit their smallest sizes, not even in the shapewear (I will miss buying shapewear at Avenue), is such a rush. I have really arrived.
