Deelicious

I came home the day before yesterday. Everything went well. I walked immediately out of the recovery room. I learned that I personally do not like Morphine but it surly helped. Walked a lot around the house and have been burping regularly. Didn't start passing gas (the other end) until yesterday So far, so good!

Congratulations! I know how you feel. Keep up the good work!!

Stop after 20 min. This should help! This is one of the rules that also helps with portion control.

How long does it take you to eat a meal?

Are you drinking while eating?

So I went to the pre-op class today. And they gave me these 5 general rules for success: 1. Protein first at every meal 2. Water 64oz daily 3. Exercise 4. No unplanned eating (eat every 4 hours) 5. Take Vitamin supplements daily and follow the 30-20-30 rule! What were/are your rules?

Wait 30 min after drinking liquids before you eat. Eat for 20 min ONLY! Even if there is food left over (Mindful eating). Wait 30 min after eating to start drinking again. This prevents "flushing" food down your sleeve as well as more portion control by not "grazing".

I'm on the 20th as well! My pre op diet is only one day though. Congrats!

Good job!!!

I just spoke with my surgeon coordinator and I was approved! My date is December 20th. That's not even the best part.... I only have to do a ONE DAY liquid diet. YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY|! In all seriousness, this has been so long and so fast at the same time. I started back in 2011 with employer insurance that I had at that time and ended up leaving that job. Started over with the job I have now doing the same hoops that BCBS has you jump through: 6 month supervised diet 2 year history of obesity Nutrition consult Psych evaluation Waiting patiently or not so patiently in my case (I called BCBS everyday, It only took a week mind you) And now.... I will be sleeved on DECEMBER 20th! Thank you to all of you who have shared. And to those of you just beginning, hang in there... it only gets better!

Thank you all for your support and good luck to you as well!

I'm being sleeved Dec. 20th with Dr. Jason Reynoso in AZ.

I drop it... and can't get back up!

Yay!!! I'm so excited! I love to see tall women embrace themselves in all their glory.

LOL I know right!!! I'm just going to walk around in stilettos and a bikini like its normal daytime attire

I'm so excited about this so I can be on top and not worry about crushing my hubby!

Here's the fb page https://www.facebook...groups/tallvgs/ and if you search in the top right search bar "tall sleevers" the original thread should pop up.

Thank You! It really helped me know what to expect today. The best news today was that the pre op diet of liquids is only 1 day!!! Waa hoo!
