I meant the LARGE dancing banana Stacy left me...Get your head out of the gutter Janet! Plus I hate real bananas....lol

I am in love with the banana..

Are you taking an acid reducer? that is usually the first thing people say here when that question is asked.... Tiff

SOOOOO it has been a week since my surgery....AND if you direct you attention to my ticker you will see I managed to melt away 16.2 pounds in SEVEN DAYS..I nearly peed when I stepped on the scale!! I love my sleeve!! Tiffany

You know I randomly thought about this last night when I was falling asleep, so I decided to stick my two cents in..... Honestly when you are 100% sure you dont need it.....The next flight I got on, Id leave it buckled in to the seat belt when I got off. We have apparently ALL been fat at some point and we know how shitty it is sometimes, and I really think if you "kinda" donate it to the next person that needed it, you'd feel amazing. Like "This is me taking my next step in life" kinda thing.

I am 7 days out but I have been drinking both since the 24 hour mark when i was finally allowed something. Cold bottled water, warm broth, cold tea, warm tea, and cold apple juice is about what I have lived off of. I have drinking like a mad woman, I was mostly afraid of dehydration so anything I could get my hands on I drank..

Ehhh I packed on like six pound before surgery...eating everything. I really didnt even follow my preop diet because I was missing food already. I felt the same was...guilty, but I loved the food. I was the heaviest I have ever been on my life on surgery day, and I came out "fine", as fine as one can be missing 80% of their stomach and happen to be addicted to food. That is the beauty of this surgery though, You cant sit and gorge...It is impossible, youll die a painful death...I took a swallow of water the other day that was too large and was mad for an hour about it...You'll do fine, promise = D

OK, SO I am 6 days out and feel completely normal for the most part with the exception of: I am talking Cipro antibiotic, and every time I take it is get nauseous for about an hour after, then it goes away...I KNOW it is because I am taking it on an empty stomach, but what else can I do on clear liquid stage? Thanks, Tiff

NO! I had even forgotten that I bought jello! I will try and see. Thanks!

@Janet I did but I am trying not to get an official number until my first official weigh in this Tuesday. My ticker is a little off because I put it up and then put on 5 pounds because I was eating everything in my house lol. Surgery day I was 274, When I got home I was 269.4.....So we will see what happens = ]...I did get my pre surgery measurements too and I think I am going to either check those bi-weekly, or monthly ....... = D

I am 24 and just got mine last Tuesday...SO far I feel almost completely normal again..Other than I cant be a fatass = ] You will love it..

WHY do I want a hot dog sooooooooo bad!!

YAY STACY!, I am just now getting home and situated and back on here.... I am so happy you are doing well! Look at us all sexy and sleeved together = D

I am actually alarmed at the amount of fluids I have been taking in, Honestly I havent really monitored it yet because I am only Clear liquids at this point and I am very literally sipping all day, There is always something in my hand. I will also say I havent been watching my carbs just yet either...I have been drinking Apple juice, Gatorade, LOTS of Water. When I got to the ATL airport, I hit startbuck and got a grande shaken tea, which i spilt some, then all the ice melted so i threw it away...but i drank maybe half...I am doing surprisingly well...I really thought I'd be more sore, or that drinking would hurt more and I mostly feel almost normal, like nothing happened...Honestly i feel great...My stitches look gross, but they are itching like hell so I know that they are healing...Going through the airport was kinda hard because I havent wanted to put soild food in my mouth, but in the ATL airport, EVERYTHING smells good, it wasnt THAT hard though, just hurried on to my next flight. I even drove my vehicle home when my sister picked me up at the airport. I wanted to go for a long walk today but of course it is thunder storming at my house, the icky weather must have followed me from TJ.SO as of now I am laying around relaxing, listening to the rain and uploading videos....Thanks everyone for worrying about me = D Tiffany

Ugh I am soooo going back to TJ...It is WAY more fun then where I live and like every guy I had to deal with down there was beautiful...like beyond words Gorgeous...lol

Aweee you guys!!! This is my first day checking this and I am so surprised and so full of love from you guys!! Thank you all so much! I am sitting in the living room, hanging out on the internet. They pulled out my drain today, that was interesting to say the least...lol I leave here tomorrow!! I will talk to you guys when I get back in the US. Thanks everyone!!

SOOOO I landed in San Diego, I posted a short video...Tomorrow I should get a little more....Today was tiring but something KINDA neat happened. I was just getting in and looking for a taxi and who walks by me, Taniya Nayak! I am a loser and I watch the crap out of HGTV so I immediately recognized her! Lol I am apparently so small town = D

I cant even last ONE DAY on a liquid diet....How am I ever gonna do this? Too late to turn back now, I am all booked up and paid for, and leaving tomorrow...I just CANNOT believe I cant go ONE DAY without food....i mean seriously = / WTF is wrong with me?

Well ONE it is a little too late to even bother analyze it because my surgeon has my money in his pay pal acct already, My flight is books and my hotel is too. And TWO I dont think anyone is ever fully prepared to actually do this. They all seem to be just to the point of: they are as ready as they are ever gonna be, so... I am as ready as I am ever gonna be...

I hate the THAT! RUDE: You took the easy way out. Comment: Yep I totally did by letting someone cut me open to remove a large part of a working organ, would you like me to demonstrate just how easy it was with this pocket knife I have in my purse? Then throat kick them and run away = ]
