does drinking more than 4 oz stretches the pouch?

kool app, and looking good girl!!!

sry girl for me its all yay lol,,, surgery in 4 days.. ok i want to say something.. can it be tomorrow i cant wait ;> lol.. i have four days and 5 pounds to lose for my goal pre op lol.. wroking out a lot and keeping track of my liquid cal intake 800

loved it, and u made a great awesome decision! yea ur closes friends can be very discouraging at times! My best friend is sometimes in tune with me, and exited for me.. then she gets "you could lose weight without the surgery!, you just got lazy and went back to your old habits", and she had the courage to say that i am looking for a quick fix. i got so bad.. and told her you know its harder with the surgery because u really have to live a new life! everything literally has to change, and adapting is hard!.. boy was i mad.. she just wants a fat friend to stand next to her.. she lost a lot of weight only because of her diabetes, and i don't want diabetes to be the reason y my body looses weight.. she is still my best friend n all, but sometimes people can be so cruel!.. so forget them because its our time!!!

congrats and good luck to you !!!!

girl u look hot (no homo) lol keep up the good work!!

i just told my mom, my best friend, and a close friend whom we had already plan to get surgery together. i did not want to tell my dad because he says no to everything, always listens to the media and his missed informed friends.. But when he found out, since i was in a out of the hospital, plus my night stay at the hospital for sleep study test, he knew something was up, when i finally told him he snapped n started offending me, and saying that i will not have the surgery lol.. i told him i am an adult now (22) and dont need them to sign a consent form for anything!.. i felt bad putting him in his place, but what the heck its my time to live now! and i am thinking about a successful future.. how am i going to be an obese nurse? or doctor?.. so there u go, also people at my job are very judgmental so i will keep it a secret from them.

keep it up hon u look great!!

WE CAN DO IT GIRL

thanks Ela!!!!

I was in the same situation on Saturday, i had to fax in my medical leave form to the company i work for, and the Hr person who helped me faxed it. i asked her (my mistake because she was not even reading the paper where it says weight loss surgery small printed on the bottom) lol. Do you think two weeks is too much to ask since i just got promoted and don't want my team feeling like i am already on "vacation".. and she said its ok, and asked what are you having done.. n i rambled off n told her ooh abdominal pasty lol wth lol n she was like huh what is that.. well something told me to just tell her, she looked sincere n other than being a nice person, she could keep a secret..so i told her i am having the sleeve, and still she didn't understand, so i finally told her weight loss surgery and she goes aaaaah, really, then we sit n talk about it n she tells me she considered it but did not know how to go about it, so we talked for like 20mins, n told me to bring her a business card about the doc i go to.. so hey not so bad i guess. but when i see her again i will just remind me, please be discrete about this.. so um search something to tell ur boss, this is the only person i told in hr,/my job since she was faxing the forms for me.. but if u feel that way about ur boss dont tell him, the only people that know in my life are my mom, bestfriend, a co worker/friend that got the surgery , and now one of the hr personals, and number one God, plus this online community which i love!!!

same here, going in march 5..not ready for thoses two weeks but my mind is set on success!!!

i get trilled every time i read about weight loss, in the first month everybody seems to be losing alot of weight, what about the second month? n the following? my goal is 135-140, i was trying to calculate how long would it take me with the right exercise n nutrition...

January 19 was my last visit from the six month, then they told me i needed a sleep study Jan 30, then around the 3rd i called n told me i had to wait til they get the sleep study results, calls me back n tells me she had submitted it before i did the sleep study around the 19, so i guess it took 2 weeks maybe less.. a friend of mines did it he says in 3 to 4 days they called to tell him he was approved. so patience can be uugh lol but its worth!

i also have united and they required the "Works", the six month supervised "diet". which i gained instead of losing.. n the evaluations n etc.. but got my approval and my surgery date march 5 woop woop for the sleeve.. hear too many negatives about the band..

supper dupper happy for u girl!!!
