You are a good wife! I don't even get Turkey yet and told my husband no. Luckily, he's not really in to Thanksgiving so he's excited anout having a hot dog, mac n cheese, and some mashed potatoes (which were are buying ready made as I can't have them, either). I'm hoping next year I can do the works and make up for it!

First, I do not take ambien or any other controlled sleeping medicine. The only new medicines I have been on since this started is ActiGall and Pepcid AC Is anyone doing strange things in the middle of the night? I will "come to" and be sitting on the edge of my husbands side of the bed. No idea how I manage to do that Just sitting there. I will come into the dining room and be so out of it hubby says go back to bed and I will randomly pick something up off the table that I think needs to go to bed with me books, paper, bowls, silverware. There have been a few nights that apparently I am doing into the garage and opening the garage door in the middle of the night. Then theres this from last night I have no idea why I did this..but I am a little impressed I managed to make room in the fridge for it lol

I was banded in March 2011, lost about 70 pounds and over the past few years I've regained it all. I went back to my surgeon who advised that the band slipped and I had all CCs removed. I've been overall disappointed with the side effects of the band and know that I want, at minimum, to get the band removed. I've been considering doing the sleeve since my insurance will cover it. Does anyone have similar experience?

not to bust your chops but don't get too excited ..it's better in your head... reality is a fork or two and you will be done.. enjoy

My kid is a crossfitt animal and wants me to start, but little bit nervous on that Im 52 and beat the hell out myself for half a decade 1. So the crossfit is going good for you?

Hi. I couldn’t imagine any bariatric surgeon not requiring their patient to get protein in post op. It is very important for healing. The cardinal rule for bariatric patients post op and for life is “protein first” i had sleeve in 2018 and revision to bypass last Friday. Both surgeons required 60grams of protein post op. Good luck with your research and hope that helped.

cajunredpanda that is awesome news! Congratulations.:) it’s the first steps to a long journey and we all hit some bumps in the road but I knew you would finally get approval, you’ve worked so hard to earn it. And now as you head to the steps toward surgery you have a place to share and people who care. Thank you for sharing the good news!

I'd start changing my eating habits ASAP. I did it gradually - I slowly brought my calories down, increased my protein, and decreased my carbs. I weaned myself gradually off caffeine and carbonated beverages. I did this over the course of a few months so it wouldn't be a radical change. Then once I had surgery, I was kind of used to the new lifestyle.

I continued to lose weight after having my gallbladder out. Tell her to butt out if she can't be supportive!

Has anyone ever moved quickly thru the phases of the post op diet? I have had no naseau or vomiting but only eat less.
