    Pre Op Liquid Diet

    I am on day 6 of the liquid diet. I do get hungry but I am just trying to embrace my hunger! LOL!! One thing that helped me was the week before liquids I got off all carbs and sugar. I was really tired that week but now I feel great! Just starving!! Surgery set for Apr. 5 in San Antonio.
  2. I am having my surgery Apr 5 in San Antonio!

    OMG! You look great!! Have you seen what people wear to the beach? There are women wearin bikinis that really shouldnt. You have nothing to be worried about.
  5. Hey Shawna! You look great!! I just had my briefing on the sleeve surgery @ WilfordHall. I am confused all the info they gave me said eat 6-8 meals a day...I had read other places to eat 3 meals with no snacks...I have lots of stuff to do before I get mine I am guessing it will be around November. Seems like an eternity! Well looks like your doing great! Take care!!

    Shopping victories!

    I have also wanted to shop @ whitehouse black market! Their ads are so cute! I went to their website but was disappointed that they didnt have plus sizes. I was hoping I could shop in stores like that after surgery. It really wasnt all that?
  7. Thanks Tiff! As usual your posts are full of good information!

    Regain?

    I am starting the process for WLS so I am doing alot of reading about all the differant surgeries. I think the sleeve is the way to go but I still read everything I can get my hands on so I was on OH and I saw this blog written by a girl that had RNY and how she had gained all her weight back and several people commented on her blog and they too had gained most of their weight back. Most of them had RNY there was 1 who had VSG but I was surprised @ how many people had regained their weight! These people were like 4yrs out...I am concerned because this is a lot to go through to turn around in 4 yrs and gain all the weight back! Is this common? :001_tt2:
  10. Wow your before and after pics are awesome! I am just starting the process and am so inspired with all you "losers". I also live in Texas. What part of Texas do you live in?

  11. Nat your profile looks kinda bare!:lol0:

  12. Thats awesome!!

  13. No I feel awesome, I'm eating pretty much anything! That's good food!! I ate 1 chicken nugget yumm!!! I ate some grilled chicken for dinner! Like three bites the size of a pinky nail!!!

    I don't feel sick, I havent thrown up, I'm taking 0 meds, I'm walking daily with no problems, My scars are soooo light and look almost un noticable! :) I'm so happy!

  14. Thats awesome!! So you feel good and no complications? Thats so exciting! I cant wait to be a loser too!

  15. Hey you! I'm doing great! I went for my two week appointment yesterday and had lost 26 pounds! Woooooo Hoooooo...

    Don't get discouraged! you can hang through this and become a LOSER LIKE ME :)
