All I could say to my husband is it would taste better with vodka lol. Yes, strong salty sprite with a bad after taste.

Great ones ladies... Here's mine. A little bit forward, but hey, that's me. I can't wait till the day my husband can carry me off to the bedroom. All those romance novels got me ruined

Each insurance company is different. What I did was call mine up and see what I had to do for me to qualify. Write it down, and go down the list to make sure you got everything. Good luck honey.

You're gonna question if it's worth it. You're gonna bargain with yourself... If I only eat one burger, no one will know... Keep strong. At least you get a cup of veggies... I still haven't had that much and I'll be 5 weeks Thursday lol

The little one will be fine. I had to go through the same thing. First night away from her was the worse on me. She was fine. Just focus on yourself tomorrow. Bring a stuffed animal your little one's and have it ready for you when they bring you back to your room. It helped. Other than that, you will do fine chica. Just breath. You're doing this for the little one

If you google the world according to eggface, you will find TONS.

I found about 123

Well with the 2 week liquid diet I can tell you about. It's not easy. The hardest is the first 3 days. This was my thought and seems to be the consensus. After those first 3 days of your mind and body rebelling it eases up. Just stick to it. It's worth it. I lost 20 pounds during this time. Good luck :-)

I feel you on the 4 weeks liquids. I am finishing up my 4th week now. Down 33 pounds though. So it's worth it. The chewing is the worst part. I miss it... Hang in there. It gets better.

What kind of pre-op as well? Some do liquid, some do low carb, some only have 1 day of clears.

No ma'am. 70 is the going average. If you get a couple more it won't hurt. But being 5'9, I was told the same as you. Try to average 70 grams a day.

I told only my husband and his mother and my brother to begin with. When I mentioned wanting to get it done before Christmas, everyone just looked at me and basically said I was stupid. In the past month, I've lost 40 lbs and everyone is saying how HOT I look. So decided to tell them... Remember when you judged me for wanting to do it? I did it. Now look at me.

I was approved to lift my 26 pound daughter a week after surgery. I was just told if you felt any discomfort, stop for a while. You should be ok. Just call your Dr and ask to make sure.

Incredible! Single digits... That's my dream. Show those last 20 pounds who's boss.

I will tell you exactly what they told me when I thanked everyone... That's what this forum is here for. To help and motivate and to sometimes kick you in the butt when needed. Everyone here is great. We are all going or have gone through the same thing. Just pay it forward Congrats on surgery and good luck on your weight-loss endeavors

I am going to be honest with you... Everything I brought... I used nothing. Changing PJ's was not an option due to the fact the IV was keeping that from happening. Brought my laptop, headphones and IPod.. no need. The computer helped my husband and mother in law pass time. I wasn't allowed to shower until the day after I left the hospital so the toiletries I brought weren't needed except the female cleansing wipes and toothbrush and tooth paste. Now I did use my cell.. For 5 half coherent texts and 1 slurred phone call lol. The provided the skid-free slippers, but mine were cuter so I used them. And the only other thing I did use was the scentsy pig of my daughter's. It smelled of baby and helped me get through my first night without her.

Start of pre-op diet - 275 Surgery date 4/18- 256 This morning- 232 Feel like I am moving slower than others but I really can't complain about 43 pounds lost in 6 weeks now can I?

To each their own I say. I will get everything done because why not? My whole life I've been big. Why can't I feel sexy on the inside and outside? I want to look in the mirror and think I'm HOT. And if large, perky breasts are what will help me archive that, that's what I will do.

Good job guys :-)

I believe that's gas pains that you are experiencing. Get up and walk as much as you can. Even if it's up and down the hallway. They also have gas x strips you can take. Has your DR. given you anything for acid? That may help as well.

I LOVE anesthesia. By the time it's the day of surgery, I've already not slept for what seemed like days. When they put the needle into your IV and say "Just giving you a little something to help you relax", the best words of my life lol. I think everything will be just fine. You have 10 people there monitoring you from every aspect. You will be taken care of.

Hold on Lady. You were strong enough to make it this far... And congrats on the 42 pounds! That is awesome. I think we are about the same amount of time out and have got to say you hit everything on the head. I think ALL these feelings are normal. I think once you can start adding things into your menu, it won't be as bad. At least that's my hope lol. I deal with the food problem daily. I work at a call center and 85% of the people I work with are over weight. They have brought the CHEEZY BITES pizza in and asked me if I wanted any. So i understand. To think, you are down 42 lbs, you are about to start a new job, and you are strong enough to make it. You got it chica. Stay positive. The scale has no where to go but down

<p>Sorry about the nausea. I think we all have small bouts of it sometimes. Have you tried eating about an hour before taking it or 30 minutes after?<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>I was sleeved a couple weeks after you and that's what I do. As for the veggies... Not too sure about that. I think I have read around 6 weeks you can try some of the less fibrous ones. I am still on full liquids until next week so not sure. Good luck. Hope this helps. </p> <h3> </h3>

Wow rootman... I'm following you. I wasn't told no gum either. I'm a prior smoker, so it's a must .
