  1. I am so sorry you are having a hard time :-( Have you possibly thought about swimming or water aerobics? It could be low impact build strength and be relaxing in the water... I hope things get better for you :-)

I was sleeved 10/10/12- I am a mother of 5 (13, 11-autism spectrum, 4, 2, 4 months- sleeve baby) I homeschool, work part time as a surgical nurse, and we remodeled our home (much of which we did ourselves) all while losing 100+ lbs and feeling so much better! ... you can totally do this!!! One day at a time :-)

  17. How about a chocolate protein drink (premier protein from costco is good) blended with 1/2 a banana and a tsp of peanut butter (or better yet some pb2) and some ice?
  18. The sleeve is a laparoscopic procedure so you will need to have a general anesthesia and be intubated. To do this they will use both IV and inhaled anesthetics. You won't remember this because you wil be sleeping :-) Further, you may not even remember going into the OR if you get Versed as it causes amnesia... At our hospital our anesthesiologists have started to do tap blocks on some laparoscopic cases (different from the typical local medications the surgeon injects) . I was wondering if anyone here has had a tap block and what they thought?
  19. Absolutely! I have always had large legs and I love that they are finally starting to look thin! I am able to wear fun knee high socks now
  20. Ricotta cheese and parmesan cheese! Both are high in protein too :-)
  21. Since the primary role of the pre-op diet is to shrink your liver hopefully the shakes did that even though the rest of you wasn't participating :-)
