Really? Wow! I have not had mine yet. Do you feel hungry or tired from not having much food?

Are most places nice about it and willing to accommodate you?

That is horrible!! I can't believe they would not accommodate you.

That is the cutest puppy ever!!!!!!!

My surgeon says to shrink my liver.

We have similar stats!!

Any of the fruit is good. Also they have combo flavors like mac n cheese and sweet potatos, chicken noodle, chicken rice peas, those are all okay. I dont think I could do the just meat. Yuck!!!

I am pre op. How much water can you drink at a time? I need a lot of water while exercising. I know I will need less as a lose weigh. How will I handle the after surgery?

My name is Laura. I am from Huntsville Alabama. I grew up thin and active but when I got married I gained a lot of weight!! I was my highest ever when I got pregnant at 354. Thankfully I got pregnant very easily and had an easy pregnancy and delivery. I actually lost weight while pregnant!! So now I am 324. My son is six months old and I want to be a healthy fun Mom. I dont want to pass on bad eating habits to my son. So I went to Dr. Mailapurs seminar on Tuesday and his support group on Wednesday. My appointment with him is next Tuesday. I went to the seminar wanting the band but walked away thinking the sleeve. After research on the band it seems like it is not very effective and lots of bother with fills ect. I really dont want the bypass. I do not Like the whole rerouting of things aspect of it and malabsorption. Also I am a self pay so thankfully I do not have to wait on approval from insurance.

But what about when you exercise and need to drink a lot of water?

I am pre op but I am wondering from those who have been sleeved for a while. Do you have to take vitamins and protein shakes for ever? I hate protein shakes they make me sick.

What and how many vitamins do you have to take?
