I am totally having food funerals... Chinese today, alcohol and sushi tomorrow, and hot wings on Sunday!!! I know I need to get it out of my system !

I don't think of it as lying. This is a personal matter!! I CHOOSE to tell someone it's my choice! And everyone around me always has an opinion on something, like suddenly they are experts about ME! I took a weeks vacation, and that's all work needs to know about. I guess we all start on the 7th...anyone having food funerals?

Just an FYI..I started an April 21st thread so we can chat here and there. Just bought my medifast and they are coming on the 10th. Has anyone tried those?

Hey Erin. I read your thread. Didn't your surgeon go through any if this with you? I'm gonna take the time to answer all of your questions. I'm on the 21st too!! We can go through it together!

Good morning Rhonda!! You really have some amazing strength to have gone through what you have and come out the other side. Good for you. I heard day 3-5 are the worst for the pre op but after that hump it can go relatively smooth. What part of Canada are you from? I have LOTS of family in Montreal. Love visiting too!! And when's your surgery?

I thought there should be no yellow puss. That's what my nurse said. I would wait till morning if you can tolerate but then first thing call them. Better safe than sorry. Let us know how it goes!

Hi rosa!! You're like the mother hen!! First one of us April sleevies!!! Hope you're feeling ok and are taking it easy!! Let us know how you're doing!!

We are all in this together!!! Hey. My NUT said be careful of the muscle milk. Needs to be the "low carb" one. I was drinking the regular and she said that's a big no no. I gotta get to BJs. Everyone talks about getting from there. Anyone tried Chikes? Heard about it and they said it was good.

Great advice. I like the muscle milk low carb now but I don't know what it's going to be like after. Also people stock up too much that it ends up expiring. Good luck with your conversion. Lol.

I can believe we start our preop next week!!! I already cut out coffee sugar white carbs and fried foods. I couldn't trust myself doing only preop. I am so excited there are so many of us for the 21st!!!

Wow. You look great!! Looks like slow and steady wins the race. Keep up the great work

Yay I'm April 21st too. Preop the 7th. You are right. Three weeks is going to fly by!!! We got this!

Yay DMB fan... Not familiar but do as much research as possible. You have a date yet?

Yay!! Good luck. Happy thoughts! And if/when t You can check in here. We are all anxious and excited for you!

Hey stars! Good to hear they caught all that and you're all fixed! How's the pain? Any issues or words of wisdom?

Hey Stephanie that's great!!! Wish we has the same date but close enough!! How psyched are you!!!

Now that I don't have any tests to worry about or more appointments I feel the time is CRAWLING by. It's killing me. I start my preop the 7th. Nervous about how well I'm gonna stick to it. Some people gave a three day preop. How can I get me some of that!!

How weird. They don't give me a time until the morning before the surgery. That sucks!!!

Hey Jess I'm on for April 21st. Can't wait to start this journey already!!!

Us April sleevers need to be more familiar with each other!! So here's my intro: My name is Sabrine and I am 36 yrs old. I am married for six years now. I've been having weight issues all of my life. Highest weight ever in high school was 374 pounds. Then I lost 200 pounds using ephedra. Once they yanked that off the shelves I slowly gained most of the weight back. Starting this journey December 30, 2013 my weight was 326 pounds. Began going to all of my doctors appointments and my preoperative tests. And I made my own personal lifestyle changes in preparation for the sleeve. Current weight is 279 pounds. My date is April 21, 2014. I have no home support for this whatsoever. My husband is against it as well as my sisters and my mother. I'm nervous scared and excited. I have two amazing kids Jackson is four and Olivia is 15 months. I'm having some serious second thoughts about this since I am losing weight and seeing results. I think I've bitched about it to anybody who will listen. Lol. Okay. Now it's somebody else's turn. What's your story???

Good morning Rosa! Wanted to wish you luck today!! Sending you good vibes and wishing you a speedy recovery. Post when you can!!

Yeah. I think fear is a big part. I'm an emotional wreck not knowing if I am doing the right thing. This is definitely the hardest thing I've ever done. This site is great support and knowledge. Thank god I found it!

I am in the same exact boat as you. I'm April 21st. I have 2 little kids too and I wonder if I'm being too selfish.

Poor ema!!! That's terrible! I'm crying about 2 weeks. Start April 7th. Luckily I have a bachelorette party April 5th. That's gonna be my personal bon voyage party to food, sushi, sake bombs and dirty grey goose martins for a while!!!
