i only had a 3 day pre op too - i think it depends on the amount of weight to lose. also they had a cancelation so i went really fast and last minute. found out 3 days before. i think one of the goals is to shrink the liver so they can get to the stomach easier. i did my surgery sept 2011. the person who wrote first gave an accurate description of my experience but it sounds like they do a hotel now instead of the house. i loved the camraderie overall of doing this with other people. i have had great success and very happy results.

How do you handle attention from the opposite sex now that you've been sleeved and are SUPER HOT?
sleeve-me replied to buplee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
def notice more attention and flirtation. i was single for almost a year after surgery. i dated more then usual but there are still the same amount of frogs out there. i found love with a very caring and loving man who supports me so much. -
2 years out and i eat popcorn at movies but in moderation. it shrinks down to nothing so you can get in more than is a portion size. its a be careful. it can shrink down but the cals/fat/carb content doesent. i only have so many carbs on my daily meal plan so its def an over for me on plan. number one thing i cant have is any type of carbonation. just cant do it and dont want to ever take the risk. but even now i can only have 2 sips - i will order if i have a craving have my two sips get full and dump it.

I know most people or carb crazy but will I ever be able to eat a sandwich again?
sleeve-me replied to endless80's topic in Food and Nutrition
2 years out and i can only eat a half a sandwich at most - usually without top bread or bun. my meal plan only allows for half a piece of bread. so i would say a half of subway 6 inch. u can cheat in a way by eating gooey type sandwich like u mentioned french dip or meat loaf bc they shrink down in mass but not in calories/fat/carb. something that is softer though like a cupcake u can eat and its not as mass - more air. but again its not the size but nutrients of the item you are consuming. why not evenually try subway without top bun. open face. -

my nut says that our bodies find its natural set point. i would say that is incredibly low amount of calories per day. i am highly doubtful a nut would support that for this extended period of time. i maintain weight of 130 for the past 18 months. i eat prob 1800 per day and keep weight within 4 lb range.
