I have a question when you refer to the Obamacare plans, what exactly are these? I understand the medicaid expasion and private insurers and the setting up of health care exchanges. The Obamacare plan is new terminology for to me.

You are doing so Great!! I am getting about 600 calories in food per day.

I haven't gone back yet, and I am glad I haven't. I have been having hydration issues and almost passed out Saturday. I am not scheduled to go back until the 2nd week of April. With you being in PT, you should give yourself the max amount of time. You don't want to go back too soon, then have to take off more time. When are you having surgery?

Thanks, I feel better today almost at my goal for 64oz for the day

I am a nurse and work in the ER/PACU so I decided to take 6 weeks off. Since you have a sit down job you may not need this much time off. The best way to do it is ask for 3-4 weeks and if you can go back sooner, it's a win win. Also ask your Dr what are the average length of time, most of his/her patients tend to be off work. This may be better to assist you with the time off you need. Congrats on your surgery!!

My doctor gave me a goal of 64oz minimum.

I called my surgeon and he said too really try to up my fluids or, come in the hospital for fluids. He said after weeks of poor intake this is what happens Mt first few weeks I had a hard time getting them in, but now it's seems to be worse. I have no appetite and when I do drink, I instantly feel nauseated. I feel a little better to day, just got to pick it up. How is your weight loss going?

I am having a very hard time with fluids also. It's getting so bad I almost passed out Satuday. I have really been trying hard, it seems I am getting sicker rather than better.

You want to take diet pills to lose 10 lbs? Do you plan on staying on them for life? How many people do you know that have taken diet pills, and kept the weight off for good? I think what it all boils down to is, lifestyle changes and choices. If diet pills were a successful option half us us wouldn't be member of this site. Hard work is never easy. You have the sleeve use that tool, you are proof positive that it works.

Please help me I am stuck in a rut between a Protein Shake and a Boiled Egg. Have you ever felt this way?

I thought this thread died and was cleaned up!!

Should have known it was you laura-ven, doing CPR on this thread. It's time to stop the code the patient is deceased.

I second that emotion, unless I force myself to eat I won't. I can honestly say I haven't had this feeling in about 10 years.

Did you think you were taking the easy way out?

LOL!! And I am sure all the 25 year old men want to see you in one also

Yeah the saggy skin thing worries me. my doctor say protein, excersise and weight resistance will really help.

Old !! Hogwash!! You will always be forver young, old is a state of mind. We all know that you are a Whippersnapper.

It's a bunch of things, hearts, cats, Bert and Ernie my fave. It's called the remix.

Have you ever confronted them with the fact, that what they are saying to you is disrespectful and hurtful?

Yawn...Yawn...Snore.

Take your own adivice, and keep it movin!

Honestly by the time I got home I felt like a champ. I started walking the day after I got home. The most pain I had was the gas, and the one thing that helps that is walking, But like I said the first day I felt like the little girl in the exorcist.

What you consider is an excuse, other people conider it a fact. No one likes being called a fattie!
