I was sleeved Weds 8/28 morning was supposed to have gone home Friday but my white count was up! Dr said it always goes up with surgery but 2 days after it should have gone down and mine actually went up....so make sure you use your incentive spirometer and open your lungs back up! She told me she didn't care if it hurt I HAD to do it or I WILL end up with pneumonia...I puffed on that thing like a mad woman yesterday!! ????

So are any of you actually hungry right after surgery? I will be in the hospital for 2 nights and from what I've been told its ice chips only the first 24 hours. I'm just curious if your actually hungry or if ice chips is about all you really want??

I am starting my 10 day pre-op diet today and was wondering if I can use low fat cheese as a protein at one of my meals? I can have 2-3 oz of protein and 1/2 cup of veggies or 1 cup salad for lunch/dinner. I'm wondering if I can use cheese as my protein at lunch with fruit or salad?

Hi! I've been seeing Dr Keith since Dec 2012 and scheduled in 2weeks (8/28) to have my sleeve!! So far I've been very happy with the whole process, it's taken so long due to my insurance requirements.
