Sounds good...I'll pick some up this week. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome milestone to achieve!! Congrats. Continued success on your sleeve journey.

I bet you love taking pictures now...Amazing results!! You look younger too. Keep up the great work!!

Okay...I made this last night, with cucumber noodles for me and regular noodles for my wife and dinner guest. Everyone was raving how delicious the meal was. Everyone wanted to know if you had any more receipts you can share. :-) Needless to say that it was absolutely a hit. Thanks again for sharing!!

Amazing, congrats!!

Great overview. The one given to me by my nutritionist was similar, but it covered up to 7 weeks. Keep doing research this will get you mentally ready for post-op.

I had a vegetable soft tortilla (Mission Wraps - Garden Spinish Herb) with eggs this morning. Taste and smell was Amazing!!

Congrats...the sugery day comes faster than you think. Start getting your bag packed. Stock up on your meal program given from your Nutritionist/Surgeon. Good luck!!

Amazing results. Great job!! Plus great news with the plastics write up from your surgeon. Continued success on your sleeve journey.

I'm still on my bipap, my doctor and I hope to be off my machine by November, December time frame. I will retake the sleep study then, to hopefully not have to use the machine anymore. I was sleeved on August 26th this year.

Every surgeon have their own program. I had no drains. I had to get an upper GI done the morning after surgery to check for leaks. I had to get clearance from them before I was taken off the Morphine. Just follow the instructions given from your surgeon. He/She must have reasons behind their program.

Sounds like you're dehydrated. Try drinking more water mixed with any sport drink.

You had to feel amazing once you realized it was you and your daughter. I could only imagine how great that must have felt. Great story!!

Amazing results. I agree you look younger and happier!! Congrats

That's the right mind set to succeed the pre-op liquid diet and have great success post-op. Good luck!!

Any loss is a major victory, congrats!! What a self esteem boost with dropping a couple sizes. Keep up the great progress.

Congrats!!

I had two colleagues that went to therapy and for one of them the sessions helped. She told me that it's up to the person, if they want it to work it will. You have to be open with yourself and the therapist. She has been in therapy for about a year and she says it has helped her with the issues she had. For the 2nd person, he did not go in with an open mind and only went to 5 session and really didn't feel like it worked for him. He felt strange telling someone who he didn't know his problems. So it's really up to the person. Are you ready and willing to have help, then yes it should work.

Amazing job...keep up it up!!

This is extremely normal thoughts to have beforehand. We are human and this is one of the common emotions we have. 1) Trust the research you've done to get to this point. 2) Trust your choice of surgeon. 3) Remember why you you nade gge decision to go down this path. 4) Dream of what you can become. 5) This will also help you kids and spouse learn what is bad and good to ear. Making your family much healthier in the long run. I had these same thoughts; I even went as far as writing my wife and kids a note just in case. I stopped being nervous once I woke up from the anestsia. I'm 19 days out and I so happy I made this decision. I'm angry that I waited so long. Good Luck!!

Very informative...thanks for sharing!!

Congrats!!
