One of my favorite Snacks is a 1/2 apple and slice of (Tillamook) cheddar cheese... yummy!

Jerky, turkey meat balls, chicken nuggets, hot wings, yogurt (carbs really vary from brand to brand on all of these so be careful), sliced cheddar and an apple, shrimp, string cheese, luch meat/cheese rollups, hard boiled eggs... I stick most of these things in sandwich bags as I am running out the door to some event such is the life of a mother of 4

Yes, we definitely have this it is called informed consent... the problem is when people hear what they want to hear and have a "it will never happen to me" attitude. (And thankfully it won't to most)

51 down so far :-) I am feeling great! So thankful to not feel hungry all the time... I mainly focus on getting my Protein (trying to not drink Protein Drinks any more Bleh!) and Water in and staying under 800 calories...

I am sooooo sorry to hear about your leak! I just looked back at your posts and it makes me so sad I am glad you caught it early though and are able to go home now and be with your family! I hope everything is smooth sailing from now on. Keep us posted!

When I was sleeved my youngest daughter was 14 months and I asked my surgeon specifically about picking her up. She said it was ok as long as I had her come up to me and held her tight against myself as if she was part if my body, but not to bend and pick her up. I tried not to pick her up as much as possible but when I needed to this worked well. My incisions healed well. You may want to ask you surgeon about this ...?

That's hilarious! Just imaging myself "stashing" my little liquor bottles around occasionally sipping alittle under my mask during a case! That would go over great!

Well I am home from surgery on 10/10/12 apparently my body didn't really like anesthesia because I spent 4+ hours in recovery. Thankfully, I don't remember any of it but when I got back to the room I was so drowsy I couldn't move at all for quite a while, then came the n/v but like magic around 6am I started feeling so much better! (i think I finally got anest. Out of my system) now I am dealing with some moderate pain (mainly around my umbelical hernia repair) And having a very hard time getting enough fluids.(so full!) I am sure this too shall pass and I am looking forward to feeling well and joining everyone on the loosers bench!

Me too! 10/10/12! Pre-admission nurse just called I have to be there by 6:30am tomorrow... Starting to get very real
