Thin1day

I am constantly salivating. It isn't thick and it isn't while im eating. Im just constantly salivating :/ I keep thinking im starving and I think it has to do with the saliva out put. Im a week out today. How far are you out cuaya? and has this happen to anyone else?

I thought it was just me, I hate it, it keeps me nauseous and I have a constant bad taste in my mouth. Smells also bother me I hate the smell of my house, even the plug ins make me nauseous, is this normal.

Congratulations, job well done. Can't wait until I reach that stage I'm only 10 days out.

Good luck LADIES. Speedy recovery to you.

Chicago

I am having surgey tomorrow 9/19 I am anxious and have.not been sleeping good for the last couple of nights. Wishing everyone success with their upcoming surgeries. Keep me in your prayers, hoping for a speedy recovery. And the same for everyone else.

I am on the 19th also. Started my diet today also, I just came from my preop appt. They changed the diet, I can have 2shakes and a small dinner consisting of 4 oz of Protein fish, chicken or turkey only. And a small amout non starchy vegs or small salad, Jello and popsicles. So this shouldn't be so bad. Preop wt. Today 266.

September 19th and I am so excited/scared/ready!!! Good luck to you and stay strong!!!

Gd luck we r the same day.

Question for the nurses: I am only planning on taking off a week from work since I have a total desk job. Do you think I am being realistic? I bounce back pretty quick (had my gallbladder out on a Friday & back on Monday).

I plan to take off 2wks , I have a desk job also. I think at least 2 wks is needed, u don't want 2 rush things.

Hi I'm Fran have been a RN for 18 yrs. I've worked Telementry, ICU, Admission Center, now Clinical Supervisor of Employee Health for 2.5 yrs now. Excited and scared of more surgery had a band for 7 yrs, removed 5/ 11 along with hernia repair. Want to be healthy tired of being sick, many comorbidities. But hoping and praying for a new life wishing everyone much sucess with your endeavours.

Good Luck

Hello.... I'm Erika and I will be sleeved July 12' date='2012 in Chicago . I will be having my surgery with Dr Cahill at Little Company of Mary. I'm nervous but excited and I'm here to gain advice and recipes.[/quote']

Hi Erika,

How r things going? I'm Fran I live on the south side of chicago, in fact not far from Little Co of Mary. I am scheduled for surgery 9/19. I had a lapband for 7 yrs it was removed 5/2011. It was a total failure. I have a lot of health issues and I need to get better, I'm glad I found this site, still scared though. Hoping I could get a buddy to help me with this journey. :-) Thanks hopr things are well.

Welcome Fran' date='

I think your feelings are pretty normal. The good thing is there a lot of people here who went from Lapband to Sleeve and have been very successful. I have the nervouse and scared feeling as well but also mixed with excitement. My surgery is Sept. 18th. Good luck on your journey.

Thanks

I'm afraid that that will be me, my dream is to be able to walk into any store, regular clothing store and be able to buy something that fits. All my adult life I have been a fat girl, its time for a change. Can't wait till I get there.

Fran

Thank you !!!!! I need much encouragement. I have a huge list of comorbidities. I am 48, 5'4" with a wt of 274 . I want to do this I'm tired of being sick and tired. I just don't want to be a repeat failure. One of my girlfriends has Gastric bypass over 1 yr ago and she looks wonderful. I'm tired of being the big girl in the group with the pretty face. Ok enough ranting and raving. :-)

Fran

Hi I'm new here but my surgical date is Sept. 19th, I'm excited and scared. I formally had a Lapband that was removed 5/11. So I don't want to be a repeat failure.

Fran
