Sleever Teachers



Recommended Posts

I am a resource teacher at an elementary school and I was just curious about how my fellow teachers have been handling the change. Is it harder to stick to the diet being at school all day? Am I going to have to take small sips of Water all day for the rest of my life? How is it possible to get all of that water in? When I really looked through the post op diet again, I became a little overwhelmed about how to balance everything. It is well worth it but I need advice and would apprciate knowing your experiences. Thanks. ,

Hi,

I work as a Para Professional in the NYC Public School System. I'm 8 weeks post op and down 40 lbs. I thought it was going to be difficult as well. I use Mio flavoring in my 30 oz water bottle and sip it throughout the day. No problem whatsoever. After experiencing slight dehydration , you're going to find that you go out of your way to drink as much as you can. As for eating I pack a bag every nigh before I go to sleep. I alternate my Snacks. For Breakfast I have an egg or a yogurt or a Protein Shake. Around 10:30 I'll have some almonds or pretzel chips with Hummus or a Sargento snack pack. It's a little difficult at first but first but it gets alot easier as you go along. Best of luck on your journey !!!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
