I know the feeling when you look at people who start around 225 or below…I'd LOVE to hit that! The weight loss has REALLY slowed down which has been frustrating…but I've been working with a personal...

It took almost two whole weeks for my body to get some sort of normal again after surgery! In the first week I gained 10 lbs of fluid and retention etc…I don't remember exactly what I was at when but...

Well hello! I live in Calgary! And it looks like I got sleeved the day after you…! I'm not cold all the time, and I definitely can see a correlation to how cold I am and the number of calories I am...

I find if I deprive myself I cheat more…I tell myself I can have 3 hershey kisses a day…and sometimes I eat 5…but most the time I eat none or 1…for me it's about the ability to choose, and everyone...

haha well thanks everyone for the very strong replies....no holding back on here I see! I've definitely never had a coke/pop addiction like many seem to have experienced...I would maybe have 1-2...

Really? Ah that would be the best! Do you know what it's called?

Okay I'm 19 days out from surgery and I'm DYING for a diet coke! I had a 3 week pre-op liquid diet so it's been at least 6 weeks since I had any pop...but I'm dying!

I also just started a job at...

I'm two weeks out right now from getting my sleeve and I would honestly say that just today I would have felt well enough to go to work. As it stands I'm going to work on Monday, so I don't mind the...

This might seem like a silly question to others but I've never had a surgery in my life before...so I want to be sure and don't know who else to ask...

This morning I woke up with swollen glands,...

I'm glad to hear that some typical holiday foods could go down easily so close to surgery. I'm in Canada so Thanksgiving is the second Monday of October and I'm having surgery in 5 days so it will be...

I definitely went through that phase at one point as well, but am happily over it now. Keep in mind that some people really dramatize what happens to them. Yes there can be complications but they are...

I know this thread is a bit older but I need to set the record straight a bit. Yes the VSG is covered here, fully if you are Canadian. I have no idea what it would cost a US citizen...but I do know...

My dietician said that I should be eating 1/2 cup to a cup a few times a day, and that eventually I will be working up to 1 1/2 cups at a time! So yeah, I think you're doing fine! It's important to...

Congrats you look amazing!! Thank you for sharing, it definitely helps me stay inspired! Do you mind if I ask about your skin? I notice you're a bit younger so maybe it has been kind to you. I'm...

Where exactly did your friend get her plastic surgery? And which doctor etc?

Thanks! I think I'll try the "milkshake" idea today....earlier in the week I froze my Ensure but I hated the taste so much it was gross! On day 6 now and I think I'm getting more and more used to the...

Thanks! You helped give me some ideas! :)

Hey all! I'm new to the page. I'm getting my sleeve on Sept 12/13. I'm sure I'll be posting a bunch more in the next few months but for my first post I was hoping for some help with my pre-op liquid...
