Friend or foe?
I made my decision based on what I researched and what I know was the right decision for me. I didn't need any approval from a single person. Now that being said my oldest brother decided not to respond to my PM's. His wife made a couple of comments by PM's and I let her know real quick what all I had been through with all the pre op test and consults and my countless hours researching. She doesn't and never has had a weight issue! Her response was I have researched it also....LIE! Anyways my brother finally called me the Saturday before my Monday surgery. He was only scared of the unknown. Now my oldest son just a couple of weeks ago made a comment that he really didn't want me to have the surgery in the beginning. I told him well I am glad you kept it to yourself. I have really had the best response from co workers and friends. I actually posted my WLS on facebook a few weeks back. I had no negative feed back and several PM's about needing advice on how to proceed with WLS. That was my intent. If I can help anyone that is where I was at this time last year, I want to help.

6 weeks post op...now what?
my newest fave is turkey and swiss cheese omelet. Of course it was 2 meals, but something different. I was wanting a turkey melt off the menu and ask if they could make me an omelet instead since I don't do bread...OMG it was yummy. Even the waitress thought it sounded good and said she might get it put on the menu.

6 weeks post op...now what?
Tuna, low fat cottage cheese, turkey chili with cheese. eggs, egg salad, avocado, chicken salad. cheese sticks, cheese slices. I go for low fat, I don't do pasta, bread, rice, corn, potatoes, I try and stay away from starchy foods. I have a protein shake for breakfast every morning. then snack, lunch, snack, dinner, another snack if I am low on my protein. Good luck and I hope your husband is better soon.

Dizziness
When I seen my dr. a couple of weeks ago. I mentioned being light head. I was on a steroid for inflammation in my lower back. She thought it was from that, but did tell me to get back in if it continued I might be dehydrated. So make sure you are getting in your fluids. Just a thought.

Any Oklahoma Sleevers
I had my surgery with Dr. Ronnie Keith also. Just had my 4 month follow up with Winter. I don't have to go back now till Aug to see the dietitian. I had no problems other than the soreness. Love my sleeve and have had a great experience with OWLO's staff. If you have any questions just ask. Nice to see so many Okies here.
