I agree.. getting your fluids in is SO important. I love water so it's not a big deal but now and then I use either crystal light or the vitamin water zero. As long as is not overboard, you sound be fine. Sleeved 11/29/16. I still struggle getting all my water in some days.

So happy for you! Good luck!

Thanks all! Broth helps. Last night hubby got my favorite chinese food.. I'll admit I had a bite but just chewed and didn't swallow. That helped. It's like I just had to chew and gum wasn't doing the trick.

Congrats! I get sleeved on 11/29. I'm getting nervous.. excited.. scared.. oh my. Mostly excited though. Feel free to add me! It'd be great to have some going through this with pretty much the same timing!

@arjeffries136 that is exactly right!! I'm on liquid diet right now but I still log everything!

Thank you so much ... I have been feeling so alone in this process. My best friend is in full support but she lives across the country from me. My hubby just wants me happy but he loves food and thinks this is a bad idea. However, in this process, I've realized how much of our lives is centered around food. I guess I just…

Well? Updates please! Hope all went well! :)

Congrats! My hubby feels the same.. I'm just like.. "Hello!? If I could do it by myself I would have already!" Jeez lol...

I was told no straws. It lets in too much air. I would call the dietitian about the meds.

Yeah, I'm a member of that group too.. thank you. :smile:

Hi all.. Jenny from MI, I just finished my 6 months of diet for my insurance. I have my consultation with the surgeon at the end of the month. I'm hoping to have surgery in October/November. I'm nervous but excited too. I just want to be healthy. And I don't want to be the fat grandma when my kids start having kids. Feel…

Omg! My hubby is the same way! It's not that he's not supportive of my decision to get healthier, he just doesn't get motivated to help me make better decisions lol

Right there with you. Couple years ago, I lost 60 pounds, then I got married and lazy.. no excuses, I just stopped trying so here I am back again...

Hi all... just turned 40. Born and raised in Michigan, just south of Detroit. Kids are both grown and out of the home. Married to an awesome Ironworker.. we have 2 fur babies. I can use any support I can get to lose this weight!

I just turned 40 in March. I have two kids, girl in her 3rd year of college, son who is a sophmore in HS. My hubby and I are both overweight.. ok, obese, I just hate that word lol.... I need to lose 100+ pounds, so any support is greatly appreciated! Add me! ☺

How exciting! Good luck! ☺

That is awesome! Good job!

I'm going to check out Pinterest. My hubby told me I'll be taking over the cooking since I want to start eating healthier ... he likes to cook in butter and bacon grease... not very diet friendly lol

I didn't think about it that way. . Cool. Thanks. Also, should I take my husband with me? Since he'll be a big part of my support after surgery

Thanks! That is what I was thinking as well!

@countryrose7 .. you got this! I'm still at the beginning stages so I can only say if you've done all your research and jumped through all the insurance hoops, you are ready! :smile: @andrde That is great advice!

Thank you! I was really excited to see this group. I'm sure I'm going to need all the advice and support! ..

Wow.. It sounds like you just pulled this right out of my head!
