Look at your pics again! You have come so very far! Don't sell yourself short!

Sleeved 1/6/16. I feel fantastic! I loosing weight! I have started to enjoy some beautiful high protein meals! I love going to the gym! I love my new life! How is everyone else?

Hello! Mine was January 6th. I feel great! I have energy. I am sure that won't last but I am enjoying it now! I'll be glad to get rid of stitches and eat solid food!

I only smoke pot, no cigs. And no problems as of 1 week post op.

I just got back from Tj. Sleeved by Dr Quinones. Great experience!

Smoking 4 days post op. No issues! No munchies!

I felt the same way! After I set my appointment I just started being excited about the process and getting started. For the first time in my life I felt like I had will power! Begore the surgery....will power! Who would have guessed!

Poopori! It is available online and in stores! It really works! I have used it for a couple years with success! There is a youtube video for the Pooporri too. Watch it! Awesome!

I told my boyfriend, close friends and my bartender. My bartender is very accommodating in mixing me protein shakes instead of drinks. That way I can still have fun at the bar without the booze! And I am the designated driver now!

I just realized that my surgery is Tuesday! Like this Tuesday! What? It is Saturday now? WTF? Where did the time go? I have been oblivious to the time since making my appointment and I feel like I just woke up and found out what is going on! Lol! At least I have been hitting the gym and sticking to pre op....mostly. I am ready for big change in my health, behavior, habits, outlook, appearance and attitude! Look out world! Here I come!

Home canned tuna and salmon make these even better! ????????

You got it! There are a couple closed Facebook groups for wls. There are a lot of really supportive peeps there too! Keep reaching out, we are all here together!

I am Jan 5th too! Mine will be in Tijuana. I am getting nervous and so very excited! I can't even sleep!

Omg! That sounds amazing! Wish I could have some now! I am writing this in my journal so I can make it ASAP! ????

I can it! It is work and the jars look ugly but man oh man is it delish! If you are in the Pacific NW I would love to share!

My sleeve surgery is 1/5/16. Starting weight today is 232. Goal for 3/1/16 is 215 [not sure]. My exercise goal after recorey is 5 hours a week. Yeah! Let's do this!

My best friend always tells me "do what is best for you". It is a hard decision to try and work out a relationship or leave it. I hope you can find support and kindness here that can sustain you when it is lacking elsewhere. Just remember that there is a lot of work to be done besides surgery. This is something you are capable of getting through with or without him! You are alot stronger than you realize! You can do this! You are worthy of your dreams! You are already beautiful! You don't really need a man to be an amazing woman. Now is a good time to set priorities and clear out clutter. He can get on board or get out! Either way....you got this! We are all in it together! Are you on Facebook? wow... I really rambled.....lol!

Where in Illinois? I grew up in Moline! ????

I guess it depends a bit on the doctor. If you are on the full liquid diet as I will be 2 weeks before my surgery, there is not much that I can eat (solid food). I will be able to eat leafy green vegetables (unlimited) as well as steamed veggies. Nothing else except 3-4 Protein shakes a day and Water, sugar free drinks and popsicles, bouillon, and SF gelatins. I am going to make up a HUGE batch of chicken broth and SF Jello before I start. AGAIN - it depends on your doctor though so don't go by my eating plan. I think you would be OK with the popsicles and gelatins though. Oh how I miss veggies! I can't wait to bring them back into my life! ????????????

Looking great! ????

Did you have your gall bladder out? I had mine out years ago [i am not yet sleeved]. I now have bile acid malreabsorbtion [bAM for short]. They have me on cholestamine [usually prescribed for lowering cholesterol]. It is a powder to add to water or juice. It is rare that this happens after gall bladder removal.

I am on day 2. Going good so far! Shake for breakfast miso soup for lunch. Went to water aerobics! Feeling good today!

My surgery is Jan 5th too! I am going to Tijuana. I have been having very mixed feelings! Glad I already got my cashiers check so it is decided! Lol! We can do this!

You both look great! ????
