Sorry it has been so long! I took on a second job! It has been great, I have been teaching a cooking class to some Senior Highers. Teaching them about alternitives to eating fast foods. I have been struggling because our famiy went on vacation to texas to see my in laws. I ate poorly there. Even though I didn't eat a lot, it wasn't the right choices. Now I am having a hard time getting back on track. Anyone else have this issue ever? I am so totally paranoid about putting my weight back on, yet I continue to make bad choices. I hope I can shake it! I am not eating as poorly as I did before surgery. No pop! Ever! I still eat meat and proteins first, but I am getting too many carbs in there, and eating way to much breads. Anyway, could use some support. Also I am having such a hard time figuring out if I should check into plastics. I am married, but so young. The way I look right now, my boobs, my stomach, and my thighs, I wouldn't be caught dead in a one peice! And thats all I want, is to feel good wearing a one peice. I feel a little disscouraged about coming all this way and still not feeling good about myself. How can I tell if what I have is fat, or loose skin?

I am down about 50 ls now! Whoo hoo! I am so happy and excited! Never dreamed how fast this could happen! I am really worried about loose skin though. I have the whole "mother's apron" thing going on. I know age has some to do with it. But it worries me because I am young and want to feel attractive. My husband keeps telling me not to be so concerned because me being healthy is what really matters, and I know that. I am not shallow or anything, I just never had a body where I could wear a swim suite and feel comfortable, or even shorts. I would hate to come all this way and still be kept back because of loose skin. But I am still down 50 lbs and feel INCREDIBLE!

I cannot take any of my pills! I choke on them. I have tried crushing, and it makes me throw up (I have the worst gag reflux). I am only six days post op, and I need to be taking pain meds, and others..but just can't. It kills my chest after I shallow the pills..Anyone have this problem?

So I was able to come home on Friday. I was discharged three times, and he changed his mind twice. I had some serious nausea! I couldn't believe 15 ccs of water could make me so sick! Now I am home paranoid about blood clots! Anyone else have that paranoia as well? How do you deal with it? Every little ache or muscle pain in my legs I start hounding my husband! "I know it, its a clot! I am doomed to get one." I am usually very optimistic, but after finding out I wasn't being sent home on heparin (I have antiphosphilipid antibody syndrome) I have been freaking! Help!! Anyway, my skin have never look clearer, due to liquid fast I assume, and I feel pretty good. Still having some bouts of nausea, but I am just watching how fast I drink. Start "phase II" or full liquid protein tomorrow. Both nervous and excited to see how "Senior Sleeve" reacts to that! Wish me luck! Bless you all!

So I am on the pre op fast, and have been doing great. I messed up tonight though! There I am cooking up a storm, for my family of coarse! When I find myself tasting things! Before I realalize what I was doing I had eaten like 10 spoon fulls of stuff. Crap! I thought, he's going to cancel my surgery! He's going to tell me I am not ready! Hahaha! All these things went through my head. I am sure it will be fine. But I have been watching myself so well I started to get into routine and forgot I was even fasting. Just goes to show the reminder hunger pains do go away after a bit and life continues as normal without food. I have been feeling as if I will never eat normal foods again! Like it's dooms day, and the chef in me says "all these flavors you love, you'll never taste again." I just have to keep reminding myself that things will be normal again, just in much much smaller portions! Anyone else feel this way? Also, are there any other chefs out there that have had or going to have this done? And how do you deal with needing to taste things before they get served?

Hello everyone! I am new, this is my first post! I just started my pre-op fast yesterday. I have fasted before, but Incorporated veggies in with it. This time it is much harder. I hate drinking all of my food. I have found using sugar free hot chocolate mix, vanilla protein powder, ice, and a little raspberry extract taste amazing! But I am pretty irritable and super hungry. My family continues to eat like normal and the smells and cravings kick in. I am pretty disciplined, but it is getting harder. I heard by the third day it gets much better. I hope so because I am a chef and I, no matter what, have to deal with the smells have foods! Is anyone else having issues with the fast?
