MJ's comingN2form

Sleeved July 26 didn't do ANY preop diet actually I indulged in all my fav foods 1 day b4 surg I was on soft foods...down 27lbs as of aug 9

I'm 2wks and 2 days post op and my mom made some of her famous chicken salad she put in food processor for me and it was delicious..don't know how far out u are but I can do chicken salad just can't really enjoy like I want to becuz I get full off 1 damn cracker w/chicken salad..now

that's frustration

I'm a scary cat and avoided Upper GI in the past and when I did have it was a piece of cake..u will be sedated u will be fine painless

I did chicken salad same as tuna used chicken instead w/boil eggs on wheat thins

I'm told it will make us full faster making no more room for other food if consuming with bread..differs for everyone my friend is 4weeks post op and she can eat 1/3 of a 6in subway

Well we can drive in 3-4 days as long as u take it easy no heavy lifting and bending..hopefully u have a desk job if so u should be fine..my mom friend took 4 days off

My surg doesn't use drainage tubes so glad he doesn't- just tiny cute incisions

Funny that's one of my many cravings also

I was sleeved 7/26/12 and my mom and I was just saying when the renaissance festival come

We would save money becuz we won't be able to eat all that delicious food. I won't deprive my self but we will be splitting food 3 ways. Mom was sleeved 8/9/12

Not 27in 27lbs in 2 wks

The comment about excess skin and how some folks say u can only get rid of it by surg or saying u will def have loose skin is not true!!! My pastor wife had bypass 5yrs ago at the age of 50 and she has no loose skin she is bikini ready. Based on individual, elastic in skin, Protein and Water in take and race/age

I was sleeved 7/26/12 in Houston 2weeks 27lns down

I don't see why u will be denied becuz of a non par hosp. I was going to have mine @bayshore in

Pasadena when my paper work was submitted to my carrier by Nuweigh but I changed hosp at the last minute to a non par hospital (university general) I was still approved but they (the hosp) honor in network benefits because I was a nuweigh patient

To be able to wear any type of boot of my choice

@walmart the bag is $10 the tub is $19 I drink the chocolate and I can now eat soft foods but I'm stuck to my yummy protein..my 14yr old drinks damn near all of it! I had to double up last week becuz of her! I bought strawberry also it taste more like a smoothie, added some frozen strawberry/bannana and ice but I'm addicted to the chocolate
