PdxMan, how does the bullet work for meat? Been considering getting one.

Lol, you all are too funny. I'm just happy to have a Hubby to call mine. Married 34+ years, it's all good.

I sure hope not

I was just so glad to be able to wipe with out being a contortionist. Lol

I feel so blessed, my Doc was the one who recommended me getting surgery. I assume a pcp is your doctor.

It seem that a lot of sleevers are in their 30's and 40's. I'm in my 50's and wanted to hear from our age group on healing and just getting around. I know I feel so much better just taking off 27lbs and haven't been sleeved yet. So if you are over 50 and have some input, please share it.

Believe it or not, lettuce is extremely hard on your digestive system. My pancreas was removed except for the head in 1993 and I have a really hard time with salads. Some may be able to tolerate it but not many I know of. I can do iceberg pretty well now but romaine is still a problem.

I'm doing the major Water drinking but find I'm up all night peeing. Will that ever get better?

They have to cut me open, one long cut straight down. Too much scar tissue to do the lapo.

Thank you for sharing this, I wonder if she had skin removed? Amazing person

There is a robitussin that is for diabetics, no sugar or alcohol. Not had surgery yet but am a bad diabetic and that's what I take.

They were pretty good at sticking to my pre diet, but I had to have fruited yogurt. Hard to find Turkey bacon. But all the walking seemed to burn it off. Didn't help that it was "food and Wine time". I'm happy to say, I had no fattening junk food, but I sure would have loved some ice cream. Lol

Let me know if you need restaurant help!

Sugars doing better once I worked on my Basel settings. I still feel like I'm eating like a pig. Eating more healthy but munching a lot.

Hubby and I went out to eat today and I did really good, had to re arrange the menu but the waitress was really good to help me. Although she put croutons on my salad. Lol. No, I didn't eat them.

Docs office called today, he wants an upper GI and a gastric emptying test done, better safe than sorry.

Heading to Disney in Florida next week, I sure hope it's easier than I'm anticipating. Stay tuned

Just started my pre-op diet, like Adkins. Found that my sugars are running high without eating carbs. Anyone else run into this?
