Btw Butter, one of my good friends decided to have the sleeve...he was totally convinced when I showed him your before and after pics. He had his surgery last Monday and is doing really good. Just wanted to let you know that you've inspired someone you don't even know:)

Well that is awesome. Had I known I could have sent him all my transition clothes that I bought and then got too small for.

I'm still in the head that I don't quite believe transition clothes are a thing. As in, I'll never transition in or transition out. I did break down and give away a suit and two dresses this weekend to a friend. Progress...

My wife's people live up north of Alexandria where the churches and fried turkeys run rampant and sensibility has been outlawed. My tiny martial victory is that I don't have to go there for both thanksgiving and Xmas. I'd rather go turkey day and stay home Xmas but I get outvoted on that every year. But either way I get gumbo.

Gumbo will make up for a lot ;-P I have friends in Alexandria/Pineville. I'm closer to Baton Rouge

He's doing so good! I measured his neck yesterday and it was down 1 1/4 inches from the week before!! Wow!

My FIL preaches in Montgomery but they live in a tiny tiny berg called Atlanta near Winfield. Population 133 and he was the mayor for 33 years.

Lol. You must know my FIL then. Fundamentalist southern baptist preacher AND a politician. Every time I step foot in his house I feel like I just traveled back in time 75 years. My only clue that's it's all real is Fox News playing on a continuous 24 hour loop on the tv. The only other show he gets is gunsmoke.

Yep....I knew I dated one for a while. You just described her perfectly.

This is wrong on so many levels....including the fact that it made me snort while laughing....

Sounds like it must be an amazing place to visit!!! No wonder you love going there so much!

Have to throw in my childhood weird sandwich. Butter and sugar on white bread.

There's no wonder I got fat.

We used to have those as kids too! It's amazing to me how certain things kids like can cross continents.

Am I the only one that ate Peanut Butter and honey sandwiches daily?

No you're not. My dad would make us those with crunchy peanut butter but he would add a banana. That's how his grandmother made them for him.

Me too, only we toasted the bread.

Oh and my recent pre-sleeve vice? Honey butter and Nutella on toast. So totally yummy!

      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.
