Yay!!!! Best wishes for a healthy journey! Only a few more days :-)

Good Ashlee! Keep us posted. It may not mean anything considering he lets you eat one meal a day.

Can I go with you please??? :-)

Horseback riding!

Well blessings to you too! Yes I can send them home at the end of the day. I have a lot of empathy for the parents because it IS exhausting and their children are home the other 17 hours each day. But I just love them so much. That's why I teach.

Thanks so much!!! I appreciate that! Now I know a new one :-)

Hi Dee. I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I don't understand all that you are writing either because of your word abbreviations. What does smh mean? I have seen that many times, not just on your post.

Isn't smoking marijuana illegal in 48 states? Maybe you're from one of the two legal ones? This forum is public. Do you want to say you're smoking weed for all the Internet to see? ETA: oops maybe you're in a different country where it's legal. Sorry I'm not judging, just concerned for privacy.

Ordered mine today! Thanks for the idea!!

My nut instructions say to drink something hot/warm if this happens in the morning :-)

When you have your surgery, the doctors are going to slice and staple your stomach. If you have food pieces remaing in your stomach, they could get stapled into the lining and cause complications. It has happened before. Learned that last night at support group. Your doctor didn't put you on liquids just to lose weight. There are other reasons for the liquid diet. Here's my suggestion: call your surgeon, tell him/her what you are eating and then let your surgeon decide if he/she wants to go ahead with the surgery. Lying to your surgeon is dangerous.

Yes. I gained 10 pounds post op from IV fluids too!

Yay!!!! That is awesome!! So excited for you. Please let us know how it goes :-)

Hugs to you Tigerbell! I don't have any answers, but I do feel your pain!

Me too please! CW: 222 Labor Day: 199

What an exciting time for you. Have you been reading on the forum about what to expect during Pre and post op? There is so much to learn!! Do you have classes through your surgeon's program?

Welcome to the forum! You are very brave to have your surgery at a young age. I think there are so many of us older folks who wish we had done this many years ago! I wish you the best in your sleeve journey!!

OMG!!! Yuuuuuuuummmmm!!!!!! Thanks Happycat!!

Your blog entry was great!!! Thanks so much for sharing. I'm 5 weeks out and lost 30 pounds so far so I haven't had these comments yet. But I can see myself thinking them in my head if anyone does say these things. Happy birthday tomorrow!!! :-)
