Gee, I wish incident have to have all the pre op diet, but do ????. Im almost done. It's been kind of boring, but doable. I do clear liquid and citrate of mag this Sunday. Wish you all the best!

Do you have any family members who have had sleeve? I guess I'm trying to clarify who your comparing your family members to when saying they eat more than sleeved patients? Dumping is a possibility, but mostly avoidable as long as you stick to your diet and plan. Both pouches and sleeves will stretch after time due to a term call "compliance." Neither RNY nor sleeves will stretch to the original size of the stomach, but they will be able to fit more food after about the first year. Don't take this the wrong way, but are you your family? Do YOU want this to succeed? Success isn't dependent on anything or anyone else but yourself. If you follow the diet set forth by your bariatric team and keep an open line of communication with them...you'll do well. ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT. The bottom line is this: compliance and vigilance with your daily calories and carbs, and portion control. You answer to yourself only. You have to believe in what your doing and give it 100% for it to work. Unless there is a mechanical (surgical and-or physical) issue, bypass and sleeve surgeries work. They are TOOLS you use to help you. Not silver bullets that keep you fat free for life without work and effort. I'm glad you only have 75 to lose! Listen to your Dr and Weightloss team. Do what they ask you to do and you will be successful. It's all about the desire to make it work. Compliance to the diet and caloric intake, daily exercise to burn excess calories and increase weightloss, life long passion to make it stick. BTW.. I love your username, it's very charming as i, myself, love the meaning and loyalty behind that ancient sign. Be your own best friend, and be loyal to your new life your embarking on. All that truth lies inside you ????

I'm am so happy like crazy for YOU!!! I've been following your dilemma and was hoping it would work out. ????!! You've had so much grief, I bet the pre op diet will just fly by and soon it will be !!*THE BIG DAY*!! I'm sending you a big hug ????

Hi everyone!! You know, I never thought using those cute Dixie cups!! That's a good idea and easy to get. Using those and the medicine cups you get at hospital will help. Feb. 8 is just about here! ????
