sleeve 4 me

I can't wait to join you

Congrats to both of you

Yay for you girlie ...I can't wait to join you!

You're in my prayers sleeve sista :-)...hugs!

I agree it should be all the same for all locations. It would make sense to get all the labs done before the classes end so the files are ready to go back to the primary and signed off to the surgeons.

Great news! I will say a prayer for you Please let us know how you're doing when you can

O wow! Prayers and hugs

Oh wow! You really need to call options now and find out what's up. You all should have finished up your labs before your session ended. Did you miss any classes??? You can also go to kp.org and email your instructors.

Yayy for you lilmissdiva

Yesss! I really want to know exactly what that means (what foods) LOL. I'm anxious to start them only so I can get some Protein in. I get super full, super fast on Soups, so I don't know how I will do with the "mushies"...

No you actually must get all your labs done BEFORE you finish options or they will not send your file to your primary doctor for the final approval. The day they told me I could go and get my labs done I went.

I am 12 days out and have only lost 8 lbs...I'm not sure what in the world is happening. I read post where others have lost 20 lbs. in 14 days WOW! I'm kinda freaking out right now I'm just wondering for those that needed to lose 50 + pounds, where you were at about 2 weeks, as far as weight loss goes, and is 8 lbs. normal??? I really appreciate your feedback...Thanks :001_huh:

Thanks Breezy...hugs :001_huh:

No worries, anything I can do to help :001_huh:...I wish I could tell you I've lost tons of weight only after 12 days like other people (sigh), but I've only lost 8 lbs. so far

Hi there! I'm so glad you are feeling better! I had a rough tough few days so I totally understand what you went through. I'm 11 days out and feeling SOOO much better :thumbup1:. So know with each passing day you will get better :thumbup:.

Wow, that is amazing. Good for you!

Thanks Sparkle for the 411. I'm 11 days out (1st month) ugh. I always need to hear it gets better :thumbup:.

Congrats!!!! That is soooo awesome!!!!! You go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi BlaqBeary...OK let me answer your questions :thumbup:.. 1. I drank a small can of V8 yesterday and finished it with NO PAIN yayyy! So that was huge for me. 2. I never feel hungry, I do get thirsty (probably because I'm still not at 64 oz.). 3. I can't even think about protein right now,still trying to get all my fluids in. Once I starting eating I will try and eat high protein items if possible. 4. My body is tired ...I see on many posts others going on trips, and outings and feeling fine, but that's not me at all. I can't even go out for an 1 hour without feeling totally drained. I'm so happy I took a month off.

I actually finished a small can of V8 with NO PAIN! I can't believe it...sniff sniff. I'm sorry if this sounds silly, but to me it's a HUGE NSV!!!! YAYYYYYYYYY!

I will be thinking of you :-)...hugs

YOU GO MINI-ME :001_smile: Whoo Hoo! I would love to be a size 8

I'm right with you...I don't know how people say they are out and about right away, God bless them lol. It's been 10 days and I'm super tired. I know it's because I'm not eating and I'm sure my body is in SHOCK LOL!

I didn't have to stay on clears once I left the hospital, but I know exactly how you feel I HATE CLEARS! My doctor gave me the all liquid diet (anything that fits through a straw), so it's much better. I don't feel hungry I feel stuffed to the top when I eat a little. I also dread drinking because of the pain and I know I'm not getting in the full 64 oz. either, but I am for sure getting more in with each new day, which is progress. I'm just trying to get by one day at a time right now :confused1:

Thanks TSB :confused1:. I will be thinking of you on Thursday during my post op...good idea in taking your laptop, I will be checking in on you...hugs :biggrin2:
