@@MisforMimi Yasss girl! Make sure you share your progress pics with us! We have a pool at my apt complex and since it's community I don't use it, I hope to make some use of it this summer as well!

@@cmblackmon35,

Me, too.

The gastric sleeve is very popular these days. As technology advances, I think we will keep seeming different procedures. Bariatrics is an interesting field of medicine. Anyhow, welcome! :)

Hi Ms. Cupcake, can u give me some insight on how your progress has been going so far? I'm trying to decide which surgery will be most effective for me since my lap band failed me 2 yrs. ago. I'm scheduled for surgery April 29. so I want this surgery to be my last surgery. So I'm trying to decide between RYN (Gastric bypass) or Gastric Sleeve. Please help :(

      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.
