Why does it take CVS 45 minutes to fill ONE rx they have in stock when I am the only one in the store waiting???

Homework is done and I am STILL not tired. UGH! Good thing class isn't until 11:00am tomorrow!

You could still be dehydrated. Also, are you taking your iron and calcium at the same time, or within a couple hours of each other? If so, that could be a MAJOR culprit. (They should be take about 4 hours apart. I take my Ca in the morning and my Iron at night, just makes it easier. ) It could also be low potassium. (Still trying to figure out how to up that since I can't eat sweet potatoes or bananas yet myself.) If it's none one of those, call your Dr. Could be an electrolyte imbalance. (Which is relatively easy to fix.)

Me, behave? Seriously? As a child, I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladdin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with 7 men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac-Man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery-solving hippies that always had the munchies. The fault is not mine!

Advice for the upcoming sleevers!!
KristeyK replied to Heather~ Sweetdreams's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
THAT is some excellent advice you gave! I am heartily jealous over you tubing the Guadalupe! MAN I miss doing that! (Well, I assume the Guadalupe, that's where we always went.) -
Wow...never thought I'd live to see the day when I shooed a cat off a spider. However, I have grown quite used to seeing scary ole Mortimer (tarantula) outside my door and well, he's a lot more special than the cat. (Said cat is the neighbor's anyway.)

So so frustrated and feeling like a failure
KristeyK replied to mindyloohoo's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I know how you're feeling. I broke down today and nibbled on half a baby Bel light, just to feel full! One thing I keep forgetting though, and I hope it helps us both.... We felt hunger when we're really just thirsty. Try drinking a little more. In the meantime- no failure!!! It's a mind game, and one that we can win!!! -
Five days out....WOW
KristeyK replied to DreamLife36's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hear you! I'm 11 days out and still not allowed cream soups! To think I used to reallllly like the taste of chicken broth. LOL Keep up the good work! If you can, put an ice pack on your abdomen, it really helped me with my pain. (Helps with the swelling some.) -
Hi All,Newbie here with need for support!
KristeyK replied to hellonurse's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I know where you're coming from. My PCP was a little different though...he was supportive of my having the lap band when I got it in 2008, but I failed MISERABLY on it. Since I failed with that, he thought that I wouldn't do well on the VSG either. I had to follow up with him on something else a few days later, so I brought in a list of pros and cons, and reasons I thought I needed it. After reading it, he hesitantly got on board with me. Luckily, I didn't need him for a referral, or even approval, but I still wanted him to write a letter stating I was a good candidate for the revision to increase my chances of insurance approval. I've been sleeved for two weeks now and am already down 19lbs. I cannot WAIT to go get my flu shot in a week and see him. HA! (Well, the real HA moment will be in several months when I am MUCH closer to my goal weight. LOL) So, to make my short story long, DO NOT GIVE UP!!!! -
My sister, who was sleeved in April, STRUGGLED greatly until she was able to progress to solids. She said she could have eaten all day if she had allowed herself to do so. I'm also 11 days out and have a VERY hard time. I did sneak in a little soup for the first time today, and it did the trick. (Otherwise, I'm ONLY allowed Protein shakes. I am SO SICK of anything sweet I could scream.) Part of what kept me on my Protein Shakes, and what will continue to make me do so, is that scale. It has moved quite nicely over the past 11 days, and I very much want to keep it that way. Good luck!

Met surgeon, not sure of his practice, need your thoughts
KristeyK replied to InterplanetJanet's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Go try the other office. You could LOVE the surgeon AND his staff, or it could be the same as the first surgeon's office. Trust me, you want to feel comfortable with his staff, since you'll be dealing with them more often at the beginning than your doctor. (Frankly, I am just as picky about front office staff as I am the Dr. Having a good staff shows me that the Dr. cares about my experience all the way around...kwim?) Good luck!
