Yeah!! I am sooo happy for you!! Keep us posted!

Wow!! Congratulations!! You look like a different person!

I drink coffee every day... No restrictions on coffee.

I was allowed my coffee all along, but every doc is different. I don't know what I would do without my java in the morning!!

I bought them at my surgeon's office, but you can get them online at http://store.americanbariatrics.org/.

Saw the doc yesterday... No more Wheat Thins for me! He would prefer I eat Protein Chips. They are pretty good, but they don't go down as easily. Oh well... Life goes on!

I'm so excited for you!!! To answer your question, yes, I took a Verapamil to keep myself in check. Prior to surgery, I took a pill every day. The nurse practitioner did tell me to explain to the staff when I checked in that the Verapamil was for Tachycardia and not blood pressure. They don't want you taking blood pressure meds, but they let me have it for Tachycardia. Good luck on December 11th! Keep me posted!

Congratulations on your surgery tomorrow!! Take Care and God Bless You!

I need to get off of the Wheat Thins. They are becoming a staple in my Diet. They are Reduced Fat, but its like I have to eat them! They make me feel normal. I quit smoking a year and a half ago... and now no Diet Coke or comfort foods since August. I don't want to trade my old addictions with a Wheat Thin addiction!

I plan on having 1/2 of a deviled egg, a tiny piece of turkey, a spoon of smothered green beans..... And a couple of hours later.... Maybe a bite of my awesome Pecan pie. Oh.... I was sleeved Oct 4th!

Thank goodness you can still have your sleeve done in the near future! I have SVT... It's just an extra circuit around my heart that makes my heart beat really fast sometimes. I was diagnosed at 37 years old. My cardiologist says that my heart is very healthy.... He said that if anyone's heart rate can go from normal to 233 without having any flaws (ex:heart attack ) that I have a healthy heart. Good luck with your future sleeve!! Keep us posted!!!

I LOVE my 1/4 cup of oatmeal with 3 squirts of Parkay, 1 Splenda and a little pour of Silk Light!!

Protein drinks and water... I was stalled at 3 weeks so I just made myself concentrate on just protein and water. You can do it! Our weight does fluctuate. The doc said to take 2 sips of Milk of Magnesia every hour until I go when constipation hits. Usually takes 2 hours...lol

I turned 41 this past June... I have a 22 year old son and 10 year old daughter that keep me young. I just wish these lines would stop multiplying... Haha!! Oh, I was sleeved Oct. 4th and have lost a total of 34lbs.

Good luck to everyone getting sleeved today! Mine was done Oct 4th.... Dr Redmann is awesome!!!

No, sorry.... But, I haven't had a cycle in 7 years because I take a depo shot. Well, well... The surgery gave me a cycle!! I am not a happy camper. If it can do that, nothing would surprise me!!

Keep us updated!

Love the blue G2!

Explain this to me please!! I can only drink 2oz of water at a time, but... I just mixed 16oz of water and 2 scoops of protein in the blender (I was going to drink a bit and save a lot for later).... I just drank the whole thing!! What is up?!? No bubbles, no hiccups, nothing???

Oh, no...Angel... I work at a plant, but in an office. I would never had been able to go back do soon if I worked in the field! You will need a few weeks off! Even sitting behind my desk has not been the easiest this week. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday!!

I had my sleeve done by Surgical Specialists of Louisiana in Metairie. I also work in plant... I was sleeved Oct 4th and went back to work , Tues, Oct 9th. The Crescent City Surgical Center was more like a hotel... It was awesome!

I was sleeved Oct 4th... And only have two incisions on each side of my belly button and he used my belly button for one!! My poor belly button looks double the size now! Was anyone else sleeved like this?
