I had a little girl at my daughters preschool come up to me and say "there's a baby in your tummy". I guess when you wear fat babydoll tops that look like maternity clothes you get that...I laughed it off too. What can you say to a child? They just say it like it is! :-)

Congrats on your sleeve date! YAY! I am a second grade teacher and a few times the kids would ask me if I was having a baby because of my big stomach. I know how you feel. You are going to love the sleeve! Now instead of comments like those you will soon be having people say how great you look! ;)

I have definitely had many "congratulations" on the pregnancy. I just laugh it off, and say that i would rather people think that I am pregnant, than just fat. LOL

Oh goodness, I probably would have absolutely died of embarassment. So glad you were able to laugh it off!

I was in Lane Bryant (of all places) and the sales lady was like, "when are you due honey? You look like you're going to pop!" And that wasn't even me at my heaviest! I was so embarassed and wanted to cry! I just went along with it and said in two months! So I know how you feel. Like Helen the cat said "soon nobody will make that mistake"! Yay!

Seriously? Wow, I can't believe someone at Lane Bryant would do that! You would think they would be more sensitive.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
