Loooou

Oh that cone!! we call it Temaki here:)) Its one of my favorite too!! and yes it too little portion I guess less that 100 grms u mentioned!! I love that I have someone here who is addicted to such kind of food Which i consider healthy! Thanks for clearing that thing up! it seems so little portion! I can rarely get satisfied with 2 hand rolls of those! and rice is an issue for me too so I let them do it with less rice as a special request! seems like u are not handling the rice too well as u mentioned so I think my first step toward solid food will be only Sashimi ( sushi w/o rice ) I am talking to someone whose living at the birth country of this food but may be the names are different or something thats why I am clarifying sashimi here lol Did u try sashimi yet? how many OZ can u handle ? what about the shrimp? I find salmon easy with my band but Shrimp is hard! Thanks a lot for ur reply:)))

Congrats on ur achievements so far:))) I love it when I read such posts on here:) thank you for the inspiration

Thank you so much Dudeman! this is a great walkthrough to what I should expect after my surgery, I am glad you mentioned sushi as I am a daily sushi eater !! but I am wonder when u said 2 hand rolls.. is the roll made of eight piece?! cause thats what we call a roll of sushi here. with my band now I can eat 1 to 1 and half roll .. so after the sleeve do u still can manage to eat that much quantity? thanks again for this great manual!! I am saving it to my favorite on my browser:)

Sending u lots of hugs and comfort! after my band surgery I kept having fights with my mom blaming here for NOTHING lol but just blaming her and accusing her of hurting my feelings even though she was an angel to me!! and then I cried after that then when my friends came over I kept leaving them in my room and sitting alone outside! and crying! then 2 month later I was laughing at myself:) dont worry!! its a phase:) and as they told u here they all went through it.. u are not alone:)

YAY!!)) Good luck!!! sending u happy thoughts

Amen to that!!!

Congrats on the life changing u are making:) and thank sooo much for offering support!! this forum has lots of givers and supportive ppl!! oh gosh!! I love it here

best of luck!! i am 2 days after u! amd I am sure we all wont be able to sleep! lol I have to be at the hospital at 9 am!! so I think u are lucky u are too early:))) congrats and cant wait to hear from u when u are back home:)

Congrats:)) on both getting rid of the painful gas and the outstanding weightloss!! best of luck on the rest of ur journey:)

Keeping u in my prayers!) best of luck:)

Congrats on your weightLOSS!!! .. and for that I WILL HAVE TO SAY u should never THINK U SHOULDNT HAVE HAD THE SURGERY!! u are almost half way to ur goal! I think:) I am speaking from the side of someone who had a changing life surgery " I had the band" I felt miserable for the first 2 month!! and kept saying why did I do that to myself!! how can I deprive myself from the one thing that gave me joy!! "cause it was actually the one thing I enjoy" now I am proceeding to another surgery!! and more restrictive one from the pics I saw from ppl posting what they ate as a sleevers. But I know I will feel crappy for a while after that but then the ouctome will be awesome just like urs!! This feeling of regretting or thinking you shouldnt have had the surgery will fade away as soon as u know that u can start enjoying more things in life other than food:) and I am sorry about your husband but I am sure he will regret it too!! as soon as he sees the changes more and more:) U will be both able to have more activities now in ur life and I think more enjoyable stuff;) Cheer up! this will pass!! and celebrate your huge progress:) I am sorry I am still not sleeved to answer your after surgery Questions!! just wanted to share what I know cause I have been there:)

oh:) Congrats:) and glad you are feeling better:)) Enjoy your new life:)

I love expedia.com and travelocity used them on my last trips:)

The main reason I asked for the reasons in the first place is to ASSURE myself I am not just too lazy!! Cause everywhere I go online I find everyone with revision is just doing it after having severe complications! But I never find one person like me! did it for been stalled for too long and for another "Naive" reason, which is never been able to have a good breakfast! it has always been a challenge for me! Can you believe running your day on a BITE! Just one bite?! I have learned to deal with my hunger strikes, unless I am having a wedding so close I can go to the extreme one bite at breakfast, no lunch, a snack of latte` and 2 oz of salmon sashimi at dinner! then I hit low energy levels! I will never say the band wasnt a bless for me! it was. I am actually gonna miss it! "OR as I think for now" but I asked the question just to know.. if I am too weak.. or spoiled as I sometimes see myself.. or am I having good reasons to do it! I have been stalled for too long, I have been trying to live a happy life for too long but my weight has always stopped me. Some of my friends told me that the see me beautiful but I am the one who is always building borderlines so no one can reach me cause I am afraid! cause of my weight.. others have told me that I impress a lot of guys but I still give them the impression that I cant be with them cause I am fat! I have been single for almost so long! I was even in more relationships while I was heavier! cause then I never consider myself fat! I was always thinking yeah I am big but I am beautiful! now I think I am big and getting old and losing my beauty! I am crazy I know just wanted to let it out, So I really wish I can get over this weight and start living .. Anyway thanks u all for always been great really u are the best! The good news is my surgery is scheduled for this saturday! )) I will post a day before it to remind u to keep me in ur good thoughts:) thanks sooo much for the pre op/decision making phase support!
