Super Nurses With Sleeves (Support Group)
jennybittyboo replied to Need-a-Sleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am taking my prereqs and plan on applying to nursing school within 2 years. I was sleeved on 6/10/2013. I've lost a total of 45.5 pounds since my heaviest weight and 32.4 pounds since surgery. I have finally hit onederland!! -

I don't smoke, but my surgeon required a nicotine test as part if my preop blood work. So, keep in mind if you smoke then can check by doing that test. -

Thank God you are okay!! I cannot believe they did not get labs after surgery. My surgeon, who is phenomenal, had my lab work done often. She even called in every night around 1am to check on me. I just don't understand why the surgeon wouldn't have made sure all necessary tests were done. Anyhow, the main thin is your okay. I just wish the nurses would have listened to your husband sooner. -

You definitely want to rule out a blood clot. Anytime there is anything going on with your legs after surgery they need to be checked out. I would go to the ER just to be safe. I had a very similar experience for about 2 weeks after my surgery. My calf, right foot, and toes were numb and tingly. I had a Doppler during my hospital stay as soon as I mentioned leg discomfort. I believe it was due to my sciatic nerve and the way we are laying during surgery. I've also seen other posts from people that have experienced the same numbness and tingling sensation in their legs, so don't feel alone. Good luck and keep us posted. -

Sometimes I feel like I eat too much. My sleeve is Miss Congeniality, which isn't necessarily a good thing, lol. -

Hmmm, sounds like we are all moving along at the same pace. I was starting to get worried. I just double checked my weight loss log and I haven't lost anything since July 3rd, so that's a 2 week stall. Hopefully I start losing again soon. It's reassuring to see that we are all in the same boat. -

Yes, my NUT said 30g is the most at each sitting. Anything more than that cannot be absorbed. -

Question for people with small dogs
jennybittyboo replied to Rachel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went thru the same thing with my pups. 2 of my dogs are extremely close to me and constantly want my attention. I have it about a week, maybe a week and a half until I finally allowed then to come near me. They seemed so sad... -
Valtrex for Cold Sore
jennybittyboo replied to MizzouGirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hope it's okay to take, I have Valtrax on standby at all times because of cold sores! I get then from stress and an upset stomach. Keep us posted on what the pharmacist says... Good luck! -

June 10th Sleevers . I need a sibbling .. How you doing after a month?
jennybittyboo replied to bashmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi fellow June 10th sleevers & June sleevers, I can't believe it has already been a month since surgery. I struggle at times getting my Protein and fluids in. I find myself getting hungry often, which scares me. My sister who was also sleeved, never had that problem I need to eat every couple of hours. I can certainly take bigger drinks now. I've lost a total of 24 pounds since surgery and a total of 37 since my heaviest weight. I am now down to 205 and I am stuck it seems. Come on onederland!! -
