I am a RN in a busy ER so I decided to take off 9 weeks for 2 reasons....I want to be completely healed and recovered with no chance of complications before I return And most importantly I would like to become comfortably with my maintenance phase to make it easier to go back to work because of the hours and shifts that I work.....but that's just me

I had surgery the 29th, the only issue I had right after surgery was nausea that resolved by the next day..very minimal pain, now none....I never experienced gas pains thank goodness...,I'm still on clear liquids which I'm not having any trouble with.....I see my surgeon on the 10th and will get to advance yeah....I'm down 18lbs since surgery

Dmviehl40 is my profile name

If you have a Pinterest account ( if not get one), they have soooo many easy, delicious recipes specific to the sleeve.....just a suggestion

I know I'm going to have to eventually try lol.....

So just because I'm 6 days post op and bored to tears I've been looking anything and everything up on the iPad......I was just looking up nutritional value for Chinese food (past fav) and it seems to be very high in protein and if you order right not too bad with fat and calories......was wondering if someday I can eat Chinese again or is it a bad food? And how does it sit with the sleeve?

Congratulations

That's what I figured.....sounds delicious though and I can't wait until I can make it....,shanks for sharing

Would you consider this as a soft food or maintenance phase

Before I was sleeved my biggest obsession was the drinks from dunkin donuts, Starbucks and sheetz......does anybody have some lo fat caffeine free good drinks they get from the same places?

The only thing that has ever worked for me is protonix

I was sleeved on the 29th and still sitting here in the hospital.....surgery was a little more extensive than originally anticipated......but on the bright side I am down 10lbs.....

Well I was sleeved on the 29th.....still in the hospital and he wants me to stay until Monday.....apparantely I had a whole heck of a lot of scar tissue where my band had been removed.....so he said the nausea would be bad......it was bad same night as surgery but it's pretty much gone now.......hope all my 29th crew did well

Have to be at the hospital at 7:20 am for surgery at 9:20 am.....excited and so nervous

I am a nurse in an ER and will be sleeved on 8/29......I am taking off 2 months for time to heal and time to get my self on a good schedule with the food intake

Pittsburgh, pa

Just had the call from my pre admission nurse.....aug 29th surgery at 9am have to be there at 7....so close but feels so far away

Good luck to all who's surgery is today

Just ordered my new scale that measures weight, body fat and hydration, a food scale and the big gastric sleeve book.....ordered my vitamins too......I'm ready for my surgery.....aug 29th coming quick.....good luck to the 19ths

Most antidepressants need to be weaned down.....i did not take my Paxil for 3 days and the dizziness was awful....hope you feel better

I am a nurse in a very busy ER so I decided to take 2 months off to adjust....

I'm having surgery on aug 29th and I am allowed to have a full breakfast the morning before then liquids.. Nothing after midnight......I guess every surgeon is different with their requirements

I had the lapband in 2008 and was always scared to tell people that I had WLS.....when the mentioned the weight loss or the "how did you do it" I would say change in diet and exercise which wasn't a lie.....now I Am going to have the sleeve on August 29th at the same hospital I work at as an ER nurse so I though what the hell.....I've told everyone....so what....it's my body my business....of course I get the, "oh Denise are you sure you want to do that?" Or the "you don't look heavy enough"......but I also get the "good for you" and a lot of encouragement......so whatever you choose to do tell or not to tell, the only persons business it is is yours.....
