Hi, I will be traveling to the Columbus Ohio area Nov 22 to 24th. I would love to meet up with local sleevers. Im will be 11 weeks out at that point, and I have not meet anyone that has been sleeved. Message me if coffee or tea sounds good. Melissa

I know.. I have emailed them about it. I will also call to make sure they get it right on my chart. I left feeling really bad. I didnt eat my feeling like I would have done in the past but I was still tearing my self up over it. Now I see I have done things right and she is the one that need the talking too. If she checks me in again. You bet I will be checking her work before she leaves the room and rechecking it in front of the doctor.

I had my 6 week check up today with my doctor. I thought I was doing great, down 48 pounds. I know I could be working out more but with working 2 jobs Im just exhausted. He came in and started yelling at me that I was not on the plan, Im not working out enough and I need to stop eating. I was shocked by this. I came home and looked at my logs. I stay on plan of 1/4 to 1/3 c per meal. I get more protein in per day then they say. I check the hospital web site tonight for my blood work results. I noticed his nurse had a type-o on my weight. She add 6 freaking pounds. Really!!! Now i see why Im getting yelled at but it's her that needs a good stiff yelling. Miss typing someone weight is a huge mistake.

Thank you all for the help. The date went really well. We had a nice dinner and talked the night away. then we meet up for Breakfast and a new long walk in the morning before he drive back. We are hopping to meet up again in a few weeks. As for the food stuff. Everything went fine. I didn't over eat. My sleeve does very well with anything down it at this point. No pain, no gas or no issues.

Thanks for the ideas. I will try to focus on the conversation instead of my dinner. This is worst then waiting for your prom date to show up. He is driving in 5 hours for the weekend. This should be a fun night. Thanks again.

can someone send me the info on the sept facebook group. Thanks

This has happened faster then I thought it would. My Ex-boyfriend called things off because of the surgery. His lose at this point of the game. Tonight Im going out with a guy I have known for several years and he is cool with the surgery. I cant believe Im going out to eat and on a date just 5 weeks out from surgery. The outfit was easy to pick, It's the only one that fits me after dropping 46 pouns. Do you have any thoughts on what to eat this soon after surgery at a fancy place. Thanks,

You are so lucky that you only gain a few pounds with all the stuff they pump in to us. I got home and checked my weight because I could tell I was swelled. I had gained 14 with the swelling. Dumber. mel

Today Im been sleeved for a week. I cant believe how easy this has been. I was really sick for the 10 months before my surgery so I was already used to smaller meals. Of course they were still bigger then what I can do now. Where is what my doc wants me to get in every day, 2 protein shakes, 64oz water/sf drink, 3 1/4c meals and of course 30 min of walking. Plus 2 Flintstones, 2 iron, and my normal pills. After the 4th day I have been able to get everything in. I have also been able to sleep on my side since day 3. Im just amazed how my body had bounced back from a major surgery. I thank God for that.

Im home from surgery. Everything went well. My church family was around a lot to help me and make sure thing went well in the hospital. For anyone else going I would say make sure to take our own pillow. It helped a lot to have extra pillows. Good luck for everyone coming up in a few days.

Im also counting down the hours. Since I live alone the night have been filled with all the last minute cleaning, cutting the yard, pulling weeds and decorating the house for fall. My dachshunds have their sitter all set up to come in the morning. They were not excited to see her today when she dropped her stuff. giggle.

Well, Im just counting down the hours at this point. Surgery is at Noon on the wed. I have cut most of the yard tonight, rest will be cut in the morning. Now Im scrubbing the house and putting all the fall decorations out Can anyone say I have a little to much energy. )

Im on the 4th too. They asked me all of those things also. I asked the nurse why she was asking this. I had surgery at this hospital 4 years ago and they didnt ask any questions then. She said they want to know our wishes but they should never need to use this information.

I use ISO-100, it's more like chocolate milk.

I feel better about my per-surgery diet of 2 weeks. 30 days could be pretty rough. Im glad to see another person with a short wait time. I had my surgery date with in a month of meeting with the doctor. I only had to do the basic test, upper-gi, psychologist, one meeting with Nutritionist. I had a per-approval going into my first appointment and the finial approval with in the month. Im sure it's helped that I have 2 different kinds of insurance which makes all the testing, surgery and after care 100% covered.
