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 Walk in heals Rid of knee and back pain Quit pulling up my jeans and pulling down my shirt when i get out of car Can get up without make a "ugh" sound Wear some jeans and actually have my belt show Be able to groom below and see the results without breaking my damn neck trying to see what was missed!!!

You will be fine i was required soft foods only 1 day before surgery! 2 days before I had fajita tacos

I'm 2 wks post op 27lbs down!

I'm putting my beans in the slow cooker tomorrow while at church can't wait to see how I take to it going to add a little ground beef or turkey sausage

Yes I'm in your boat I have my appt next week and I only have 1 strip still attached! Some People have drainages after surgery also (ouch) I wouldn't wanna see that mess daily..my incisions are nice and small cant hardly see them

My coworker was sleeved dec 2011 and she has to have her peppers

Wow I can't wait to get to 3months

Just started soft food yesterday but I enjoyed deli shaved turkey on flatbread crackers with garlic herb cheese..tomorrow I'm going to get me a watermelon and cantolupe..and cooking some Beans in the slow cooker while at church

Oh i didn't have any glue just bandages over my steri strips

@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

This is the realist post all the goody to shoes must be sleep...LOL..pineapple is my favorite fruit when can I start eating it again

My coworker has been of insulin since the day before her surgery her #'s are great!
