iam so infamous for underpacking its unreal!! Lol... So I need all the help I can possibly get hehehe!.. I will make sure to compile all of this to ensure this time I will be prepared.. I mean surgery is pretty intense.. Not the time to under pack!

question.. if i normally am able to fall asleep with the snap of two fingers.. do you still think i will need a mask??? i will definitely not be forgetting my ipod thats for sure!! thanks for all of the pointers! :001_tongue:

HEY fellow CANADIAN!!!!!!! or shall i saw CANADIENNE!? hehe

I love montreal! ... good luck on the surgery!!.. i go on the first.. so just before you! .. my doc doesnt require a pre op diet either... jsut Clear liquids 3 days in advance.... not too bad!!... glad to see u on here!!

hey sleevers..... I am only 10 days away from surgery!! Can I get your expert advice on what to bring.. What to think and how to live lol just kidding about the last two!.. :lol0: but in all seriousness.. I would love to get some pointers on getting ready for the big day!

I just wanted to know how long i have to wait after surgery before i can be sexually active again??? :cursing:

You ladies are so lucky to be on the other side!!!!! ....... I am glad to hear you have seen such a great success in such a short period in time way to go DIVA!!... and Calgarygirl!!!.... on the otherside my friend!.. Dr.P was to your satisfaction and you are now on the losers bench!! cant wait to join you! <3

hhahaha you've got that right... its so nice to have all of you here.. i have been keeping this from alot of people in my life and its just great that i can say what im thinking in regards to this where others know how im feeling and get it!!! <3

ugh! thats awful!! I really hope that things straighten up for you... if you have to pay the deductable are you able to take a credit line out or something? I know its not ideal but it will put you in the position to start off your new life post sleeve! <3 i hope it all works out well!

kerri21.... thats exactly how i feel too... im scared that for whatever reason it wont restrict my eating and i will still be hungry all the time.. and then a few mins later i can see myself happy healthy and small... its a strange thing but i think if you are like that too.. then its normal lol!!!

hey girl! Hang tough! My dr is only requiring a 3day preop diet of clear liquids... But as for cooking ideas... I find grilling chicken and spicing it with cayenne pepper and brown sugar sweatener by splenda makes a sweet and spicy chicken that caramelizes from the brown sugar swetener.. Its quite good... Also.. You could always get spaghetti squash and make a ligt Tomato sauce from canned diced tomatoes .. This way you feel like ur eating Pasta but really ur not!! :thumbup1: good luck! The date is coming near and I'm sure you will feel great about this small struggle to get where you want to be!!

I hate condoms!

lol just throwing that out there... My hubby and I have only ever used the pill as our form of bc... And I know we don't want to be pregnant for at least 5 more years!.... This kinda sucks because I know we will have to go back to the basics but I am totally dreading it... I've always said once you go bare you never go back lol! Oh god!

that sounds pretty do-able !! lol... i dont have my itenerary yet... but im looking forward to these 12 days to go by quickly lol!... did a facilitator go with you?

on another note.. lol.. i was watching anchor man and its based in San Diego.. and i was like OMG im flying there soon for surg.. haha it was weird

im sorry to hear about your denial!!.. all i can say is keep thinking about yourself with the sleeve... and it will come to you!!!! All the best! <3

yeah exactly.. its terrible food for you.. and i truly feel like right now i am what i eat... and so i feel like shit! haha... but soon this will all change YESSS!!!!

thanks for posting all of that!!!>.. I have always had a high density of muscle ... and i know that after the sleeve... once i start losing.. those muscles will start too poke out again... lol... (at least thats what i hope) Im really afraid of loose skin.. but i dont know whether or not being 22 will help my skin bounce back!? Anyway.. your looking great and I appreciate this post for sure!!!! thanks!

how long after the surgery can you go running or do any sort of strenuous exercise?

oh good luck!!! i am soon to be sleeved .... and I believe that this is an incredible decision made for me!!... i hope you both do well and things work out perfectly for you!!! only two days away until u have your new stomach!

IM SO GLAD YOU ARE DOING WELL!!!!!!

how are you feeling!? ... do u have alot of pain or anything? im so close now i can taste it hahhahahah....... boy oh boy!... any advice now that you are there and experiencing it?

im starting to be a little restless... and after eating such bad foods for the last little while.. it is actually looking so disgusting to me already!! yay! i guess thats a good way to get u off of take out and junk food!

i love your new pic!!!.. and im glad that all is well with you... it makes me really excited because i am going in only 11more days!!.. i fly out in 10!!! ahh!!... i hope that everything for me works out like it did for you!! <3 xoxoxoxo!! its sleevers like you that make this site so uselful and encouraging!!
