Liquid Diet
So I am almost done with one week of my pre-op liquid diet!!! Yeah I’m not going to lie it’s been hard especially since there is food in the house that I can’t have (since my spouse doesn’t have surgery until 3 weeks after mine.) I would kill for some cottage cheese right now!!! But still I am surprised that it hasn’t been…

Intake Question
Ok I had surgery last Tuesday so I am just over a week out, at what point do you start drinking 2 ounces every 15 minutes? I’ve only been drinking one and sometimes it hurts when I take an extra sip and sometimes I find myself sipping 2 ounces in 15 minutes with no pain...I don’t want to over do it but I have noticed I am…

So I was cleared to eat puréed foods so I’m moving on up!! It was kinda weird going grocery shopping since I haven’t in over a month!

Fingers crossed that insurance approves me!
So I have submitted my food journal, completed the required appointments and now this week I will find out if my insurance will approve me at the 3 month mark or if I have to wait until the 6 months. I am hoping of course I get approved now and not have to wait until November! (it's just a matter if my insurance will…

Therapy Consult Today
I have my therapist appointment today! I am a bit nervous because I've never gone to a therapist before. I have seen on a lot of weight loss shows that they believe that there must be a reason you got this big, a reason you might not even be aware of, but honestly for me I enjoy food and I am lazy! I am glad to finally get…

New here and thinking of getting the sleeve....
First off let me introduce myself....I am 40, have struggled with my weight my whole whole adult life, tried tons of diets, gyms, workout routines, and I have never been very successful. I have put off surgery for years telling myself I'll do it on my own and well it has never happened! Now I am choosing to get my weight…
