Haha, that makes me feel better that I am not the only one using a sippy cup.

I love my sippy cup... i always want to gulp and it makes me unable to ...just hope i can outgrow the sippy cup by christmas or i will look really funny at my jobs christmas party!!!

splashdancer ... lucky you to have your own practice!! i work in a busy sub-acute rehab center and it seems like we tend to admidt the heavy duty stroke patients.. so its probably good my doc is not letting me go back too soon. i also tend to overdue it normally so i need someone to put the stops on for me! Luckily at my job we are always drinking from water bottles so it won't be odd when i am always sipping....I also had a drain from the surgery and maybe thats why he is keeping me off longer too... I am gaining strength and getting use to eating/drinking a sip/bite every 5 min or so. I started this at 240 and this morning i was 212... i am so happy that i am eating so little and do not have those hunger pains... i will friend you thanks for the reply good luck to you when u go back to work!!

Garden diva my surgery is on wed of next week...yeah we are getting closer...have u started the pre-op diet yet? i took my daughter to arbys tonight and had to refrain myself from sucking the chicken grease off her napkin!!! i hope I am not this starving after being sleeved.....I also had a headache and could only take tylenol (apparently advil thins the blood too much before surgery) keep in touch and best of luck next week....

purple lady, i am sorry your surgery didn't go smoothly.:embaressed_smile:

if the drain comes out that is a good sign that things are healing. here is a get well present :present: it is filled with good vibes and prayers for your recovery. keep us posted

hey Kc sunshine...my insurance put me through the mill too....i also had to have a psych test too and decided to do that first since i was positive that would be the test I would flunk!!! ha...yeah i passed all the tests..my surgery is in 9 days and i am so excited....but just the fact that u have made the decision and are taking the steps is so awesome .....hang in there and it will happen for u too....congrats on India!!!

sassy girl.....way to go! we will show your mother in law! I am glad u are doing so well .............

i hang on your every word as my surgery is in 10 days! sounds like u are doing great ...u go girl!

hey any advice my surgery is in 2 weeks .....my work is only allowing me to be off from work for 5 days... I am really tough, had a hysterectomy and gall bladder removal at the same time and since i had so little pain i left the hospital 2 hours after my surgery , took tylenol for a week and wentt back to work after 10 days. I am thinking this surgery must be a lot less painful than that one and that one really wasn't bad. I am wondering if i will be able to drink enough during work hours.......hoping i won't be nauseated at work....i have already been dieting and have lost 17 pounds on my own the last 2 months and i am on a high protein low carb diet now, but i know it will be completely different after i am sleeved. how long before u were all ready to return to work?
