Justine13 264 Posted September 5, 2012 i have learned and moved on back on track justine I see that but this just so happens to be a quote I cherish and thought it was good for you to hear my sleeve sista. Moving on..... I'm with you tomorrow and you will have to kick my butt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSGJean 68 Posted September 5, 2012 I'm having my sleeve done on the 21st. I'm so excited and I wish the day would hurry up and get here. I start my liquid diet on Friday the 7th. It seems like time is going by so slow..... Is anyone doing a video journal on Youtube? I am. My channel is VSGJean. I love watching videos of everyone's success stories. Let me know if you have a channel, I would love to watch and see your achievements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barisaxylady 154 Posted September 5, 2012 My op is October 3rd and I am SOOOO looking forward to it! Does anyone know if smoking is bad for u before the surgery ? Should I stop now? Smoking is bad PERIOD! My hospital won't operate on you unless you quit and pass a nicotine test. Why don't you take this opportunity to make yourself healthier all around and quit.

Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted September 5, 2012 feels thank for the support im ok now scorp dont be so hard on me pls. i apprieciate your concern but i already felt bad. im over it now I think someone needs to be hard on you. When you have the sleeve, especially for the first few months you will not be ABLE to eat that kind of food and if you do can lead to some serious issues. Think of this the next time you want to put some greasy fried chicken in your mouth. I know this is hard but you have to buckle down and say NO!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I take the Wal-mart brand(s) of Zantac 150mg times 2 and Prilosec 20.6mg every night. If it is bad during the day I will take two of the Prilosec. I also have Tums/Rolaids "smoothies". I usually don't have to eat the Rolaids, but if it's bad at night, they are nice to have. Just ask the Pharmacist what the prescription dosage is for the OTC meds. I hope that helps. I did take Nexium, but my crappy insurance told me to take OTC meds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
