jsunshine reacted to 2bsmallagain in What Do You Say?I think I am going to say I started with a liquid diet including some high Protein drinks to get the ball rolling. Then I started to change my lifestyle by eating protein first (at least 70grams a day), then veggies, then carbs and by eating smaller portions. Cutting out sugar and carbs as much as possible and by increasing my Water intake to at least 64 ounces a day. Lets not forget working out and walking 30 minutes a day. A total lifestyle change.
Thats not lying but not telling them everything.

jsunshine reacted to iegal in How Long Were You Out Of Work?Good response. Also depends upon how surgeon does VSG. I was an outpatient for VSG with no tubes, drains, overnight stay. So, I was working on my computer within a few days and back traveling within a week. Too early really.
Ask your surgeon how long most patients of his/hers take off after VSG. Congrats on an upcoming surgery.

jsunshine reacted to newtonya2012 in How Long Were You Out Of Work?It does depend on what you do. I have my sleeve done on 02/28 and I am going back to work tommrrow 03/08 so I had a little over a week off. I wish I would have taken a full two off because I am feeling some fatigue but no pain.
