Oh Frisco! What are these people thinking that eat what they want and lose? Really, they have had surgery only to be failures in the future. Come on, you have your stomach almost removed and go through the pain, expense, and your going to eat whatever you want? These people should not be candidates for surgery in my opinion, they don't want to change! Anyway, that's my rant for the day!

Thank you for all your posts and recipes!!!

Hi Donna: Thanks for all the great advice. Been out here about 6 weeks now, daily reading every-ones post. And I find that i bookmark yours and Silly-Sweets . You both have allot of wisdom, knowledge and experience. From a Newbie, thank you so much. I get my sleeve next Wednesday and feel very comfortable going forward, thanks to people like you and Silly Sweet. Thanks again.

Mary

What a wealth of information! Thank you so much for sharing. My date is in two week and I and copying and pasting all the post that I I feel will help me in my new journey and put them in a folder so read later into my post - op life.

Especially about the alcohol. My husband and myself enjoy ****tails on the weekend more socially than anything and this was a question was having. I don't feel it will be hard as all my close friends whom I frequently socialize with are some of my biggest supporters.

Thank again
