My pre-op diet was for one week only. I can't imagine 4 weeks, let alone 6 weeks. You're bound to lose a lot of weight prior to your surgery date. How did you decide on a sleeve vs a bypass?

The doctor decided for me. I have other abdominal issues (which I have not revealed as of yet, but I will soon, I promise) that prevent the bypass surgery. I pretty much knew that it was either the sleeve or just do the diet plan and no surgery. I'm quite okay with this choice - I do not want my surgery to be reversible. And, actually, it has not been that bad. I do not actually feel hungry, but I'm fighting with head hunger each day. I've been strong so far and my weight loss to date shows that. That is a great motivation for me to keep from stopping at each fast food place that I used to stop at on the way home from work. What I really miss, though, is the Thai yellow chicken curry from the local Thai place. Oh boy, is it good! I need to learn a recipe that I can eat all of the ingredients and make it myself.

Ooooh, I'm a green curry girl, myself!
