What a bunch of douche lords!!!! I don't plan on telling anyone I've had it (June 8th date) I prefer to let them think I'm just a picky eater. If you do tell a guy wait till your long term super serious like marriage talk. They shouldn't care. If anything they should be proud!!! I hate a-hole men lol this post made me so mad ha ha

alindsey replied to shorty54's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Preach it!!!! This is why I've told no one except my mom who is having it done the same day!!! She also told no one! I'm happy this way. I don't want to hear everyone's negativity! -
Yes Bruce impressed me!!! Please do come back and tell what happened!!! I'm so curious!!!

Any advice for getting through mind hunger?!!! I have it so bad!!!!

I'm praying God will open his eyes and heart! I'm sorry for your hurt! I'm at praying God will soften him and send him home! Jesus loves us so much and hurts when you hurt! Give it all to Him and have faith!

Honestly Bruce a BMI over 30 is considered obese. Unless you are a board certified bariatric surgeon I'm not sure you know what your talking about lol I've heard of BMIs as low as 28 needing surgical intervention due to obesity with comorbidities....

I am using the Vitamelts and just put in for another order. There is absolutely no chewing they melt in your mouth and the flavors are great too. They have other suppliments too besides the multivitamin. I get mine online from Swanson online. Hope this info helps. I also got Calcium gummy bears today. Vitamelts just got added to my list of things to get for post op lol!!! Thx

That's exactly it they know if they give you a million hoops to jump through you'll get exhausted from the process then they won't have to pay for it!!!! Insurance is so expensive it's such a sham! -
I'm preop getting the sleeve June 8th I'm wondering about hunger afterwards? Are you just hungry all the time? Anyone have issues with low blood sugar and feeling sick from not eating or headaches??

Messing with insurance stressed me out so I did a online consultation with a Dr in Mexico and am self paying for it! No fuss it's easy and around 5000 dollars! I've had two friends go to this Dr and had wonderful experiences. -
Good luck to you also! Yup it's definitely a moment of enlightenment when you realize your stomach has so much extra weight on it you look pregnant!!! It's also good therapy I feel to share this with others on this site. I've never talked about it with anyone before out of shame and embarrassment! I always cry and even though I have mentioned it to my mom a little I never shared the full devastation in my soul then people think I'm pregnant and I know it's because I've let myself go to such a extent! It's the worst feeling ever! Definitely keep up with me message me anytime I've having mine June 8th in Mexico!!! I can't wait! Good luck

Isn't the artificial sweeteners in crystal light and sugar free jello etc.... bad for you? Don't they cause more cravings? I know they cause me to have headaches. Is there a way to do the clear liquid phase without artificial sweeteners?

@@bluesclues it upsets me to very much. A actual labor and deliver nurse asked me a few week back by saying "now I know you didn't swallow a watermelon". I looked at her looked at my stomach and very dryly said nope, "I'm just fat"........then I added "I'm going to go stick my finger down my throat now". People are so rude I would never ever ever ask anyone who wasn't a obvious 9 month about being pregnant... I actually did once in college kinda asked a girl in my class. She looked so pregnant with a giant round firm belly and asked her if the stink in our class from whatever we were doing made her sick. She said why would it??? Then I picked up she wasn't pregnant. Now even if they are huge as a house I keep my mouth shut bc I know how it feels.

Yes I love stevia and agave for my sweeteners! I guess I just won't do sugar free jello crystal lights or gatorades or any of the things on the diet that have artificial sugars in them. This tea sound fabulous. I'll try it for sure!

How bad is the hunger?
alindsey replied to alindsey's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yup. Though I mistakenly said "in water", they're marinated in some sort of acidic broth, probably lemon or vinegar; you can scoop out a few spoonfuls, add some of the liquid they come in then add some tomato paste or ketchup and you have yourself a mini-cocktail. They're soft, so they're easy to chew/digest and provide good Protein. Are they fishy tasting?
