So they used staples for my incisions? Did anyone else have staples? And if so how are the scars looking?

I started at 278 and today was 240 so 38 lbs, I am a happy camper love my sleeve <3 and I should eat better... I am trying

Try a lactose type for a few days, see if that works. Good Luck

any milk? I can't handle milk at all anymore and If I decide to try it again I am like that all day. :/

surgery 8/13 lol and I sleep amazing, but my dreams are all about food, and mt dew. lol I dream I forget I am sleeved and I just start eating and I am not getting full and my sleeve isn't working, and then I'll drink soda and think "I am not supposed to drink this but it goes down so easy" lol and when I am awake I have no problem being around food, I don't feel deprived, just my dreams lol

think of when you can eat it in moderation because you're healthy and skinny and don't need 2 or 3 plates(b/c that would have been me) to be satisfied

I had mine on monday too, I was clears till today, I did one thing of unflavored protein with skim milk and torroni vanilla mix, it was yummy, then for lunch ill probably do unjury chicken broth, like you said mixed with other broth, and dinner one of the same. Get my water in(my pee is yellow so I def need to work on that) but so far 14 lbs I am a happy camper.

Soooo this is my first topic and it is about how this all just hit me that I am really going to have it done. Just booked my flight, my hotel. and about to do car (my fiancé and son are coming as well and will hang out in san diego till I get back) Now to just pay for the surgery on Tuesday... I will be sleeved on 8/13/2012 in Mexico by Dr. Almanza, and will return home on 8/17 and will be back in school and clinicals by 8/22. I am so nervous about going back to school, having to lift and move patients... I have heard many people can do it... some can't... but I figure if there are some complications... God would have had something happen in my life sleeve or no sleeve. I will graduate next may and will be married 8/24/2013 so l have many happy things to look forward to in the next year. I am Sara, from SC, I am 275, 5'5'' goal may 145? It's hard to believe that I could get there, but I see so much success on these forums, and I plan on rocking my sleeve. Well just wanted to be ooober excited and say Hi!!

I was told three days before which is also when I have to start clear liquids, it helps make sure there is no solid food in your stomach or system and it also can help a little bit with nausea, (which i will be on a plane on friday so I will be starting my clears tomorrow and taking my magnesium citrate tomorrow so that I don't have to worry about any problems on the plane) good luck

did that work for the puss filled one?

I am praying for you and hope you get better soon! please keep me updated.... my surgery is on the 13 with the same doctor you had..... I'm stating to panic a little now.

oooo I'd be a mad, very mad, wife. The father of my child isn't even his biological dad, and he helped me with everything, and wanted to or he wouldn't have been around. Good luck with that, I know what I'd do...but he needs to step up.

Isopure on sale for $9.50 I don't know if that's an awesome deal but I was happy to save 8$ total c: stocking up for pre op diet in 14 days and surgery in 19... Yay!

Oops lol sorry thought I put it, but rite aid, I'm not sure if its just a southern store but they sale it, and if you have food stamps you can use it on isopure there as well
