May need to use that one YSMV.

It's been a year since I had any type of Pepsi products. I could drink a 64oz bottle and not miss a beat lol. Once I stopped drinking soda my bloating went down a lot!

I plan to sip all day, except at meals.

Happy Sleeve Day to all the July 2nd sleevers! Speedy recovery to the July 1st sleevers tonight.

They have nice swimsuits this season at Walmart this year.

Its the next to the last day in June. Come Monday it will be July! The count down begins. Wednesday is pre-op testing. The 22nd is Sleeve day! Ready: Since 2004 I've been ready to do something about my weight and have been trying hard to get it together. This decision is the best on for me. So I'm ready! Set: the surgery date is set, pre-op testing date is set, mindset is right, life style is going to settle into one that will allow me to set loose the wild child I am. I can go and fit into places, do things I've been to embarrassed to do because of my size, I get it live! Go! Moving forward to a healthier life, long life God willing. I'm so happy I could cry at times. Its the strength I have found in making the changes. I stopped eating bread, I stopped drinking coffee and tea, I do have decafe around but have not touched it. I've never smoked. I've cleaned out my cabinets of foods I know I must avoid, it's nice being able to give the food stuffs to people that can use it. I've donated clothes that I know I can't wear, won't wear and shouldn't wear lol. I'll spend today packing, I'm moving next weekend into a new apartment. So July is truly a new me month. I admit, I'm getting nervous. But my sister that is supporting me in my decision is coming to visit, it will be nice to have family going in and coming out of this procedure. Thank you to everyone that posts and comments on this site, pro or con. The experiences shared have helped a lot. Continued success to everyone on their journeys. Karen

Every person is different and how a doctor treats their surgery recovery should be different as well. We all heal differently so when we move throught the stages of food intake will be different. I'm excited for everyone moving forward in their success of their surgeries. Continued success everyone! Karen

All the best today to all July 1st sleevers!

All the best today july1st sleevers!

I found a great suit from Walmart last year. I was surprised. I'm top heavy, and in the past never found a well fitting suit. This one was rather pleasing to my round form lol.

Oh sorry thought it was longer.

Are you sure it's not muscle? Building muscle will add weight.

The pillow helps also if and when you cough. You pull the pillow into yourself. It holds your stomach firm so the muscles don't move as much. When I had fibroids remove I used one. Works great, it's best to have a pillow with you.
