I heard that after WLS your penis grows.

And if you didn't have one before, and you eat a lot of Protein, one can magically appear!

I read it on the internet.

I need to up my protein. I can barely see mine :(

I'm so glad this thread is still plugging along...

Morning my little Antipodean treasure. Thought that you weren't talking to us as you have been VERY quiet for the last couple of days. Thought you might have got the hump because we caught you out being unfaithful in your affections to Ms LipstickLady. Tsk tsk. You bounder sir.

Yep this thread is still toddling along.

I was incredibly worried about you too!!!

Where the heck is my kangaroo? I have a nice big backyard for him to play in. Can you give me approximate size of him so I can have a snappy collar made for him too? Ooooh and maybe a vest....

Please include a platypus as well. I have a pool and we would have so much fun. Again, I am prepared to pay shipping costs for all.

Or you can just deliver in person- yey!!!

Glad to see you back. Missed ya. :)

Just make sure you use the right bathroom - especially in North Carolina! ;-)

Perhaps you are a grower not a shower.

I personally have a friend that had the sleeve and started drinking sodas again. She noticed she could eat alot more and got nervous. She went to her bariatric doctor and did a barium swallow test, sure enough her sleeve was stretched to the size it was before surgery.

Ever wonder what carbonation does to our sleeved tummies? The photo on the left is a normal banana tummy, the photo on the right is a banana tummy on carbonation. It is stretched and will not return to banana size

If this is true, the surgeon who did her original surgery screwed the pooch. There shouldn't be enough fundus left to stretch, much less back to the size of the original stomach.

She should seek legal counsel.

I believe that is a photo of a stomach before sleeve surgery and then after. The stomach cannot stretch back to its original size. It's physically impossible.

Do you realize the sheer pressure it would take to stretch a stomach that has no fundus? A lot more than a few carbonation bubbles can do.

Can we just put this old wives tale to rest now? It's tiresome.

      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.
