I guess I will need to temper my justice with mercy. I will leave my abrasive comments for the man section of this forum <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /> . At any rate' date=' good luck on your journey ladies.[/quote']

No wonder you were so abrasive and insensitive!! You're a man!! That explains a lot! Haha! Just teasing you. I'm glad you are part of this forum. Welcome!

I am not having nausea' date=' though I have phenergan if I need it. Blue raspberry hmmm. Does it come in a can?[/quote']

I was severely nauseaous and Isopure saved me. Alpine Punch and Passion are my favorites. I'm on Sour Apple. I have dilute with Water because it is too sweet for me.

Good Luck finding what works for you.

I have a question I'm a couple pages behind so someone may have asked this already but what's a binder?

Hi, sorry nnaddour, I missed the question. It's like a ....girdle almost. It's a post surgical binder. i was considering buying one off Amazon. Like this http://www.amazon.com/ITA-MED-Elastic-Abdominal-Binder-AB-309/dp/B000WFR1WS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1366231131&sr=8-2&keywords=post+surgical+binder

Since I have that super sore spot by my belly button, my nurse is sure I pulled something, I'm ordering one in hopes I can stand working next week. Doesn't matter if I can stand it or not. I've got bills so I'll be at work bright and early on the 22nd!

Nella- before you buy a binder- have you thought about trying the "control top" panties? My nurse told me those work better and are a whole lot more comfortable than the binders! Plus a lot cheaper

I tried some. Unfortunately, I'm long waisted. They hit me in a sore area and seem to hurt too much! I was hoping they would do it and my Spanx don't seem supportive enough

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
