This may sound funny or weird, I was sleeved Aug. 21, 2012, down 93lbs! Which is fantabulous!!! Here's the thing, I've noticed that I can't laugh like I used to...just a few chuckles gives me that laughter pain you get when you've laughed so hard you almost peed your pants!! It's weird that long deep laughter is gone! Anyone else notice that???

What you hear should not scare you! I still laugh and enjoy laughter, my laughter before my weight loss masked a lot of my insecurities. I'd rather laugh not as loud and love myself the way I do right now. It's a wonderful feeling to look in the mirror and love yourself, so if my laugh is not as loud as before, I can live with that. Make your decision based on what you want, not what others have told you. Good luck!

      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?

      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.
