If there is a test, it is to sample your urine. Not a big deal at all. Glad you are being seen!

I just got the flex yesterday. Bought it on amazon for $57. Great deal and brand new. I was leaning towards the force but the band issues bothered me and because it is plastic, you can't hear it if it drops. I have to figure out how to sync it with everything but it seems pretty straightforward...

I was in Lake Tahoe in the snow and it was awful following the hot tub rules! I was cleared at 4 weeks to go... Take care!

Restriction and eating
DirtyHarriett replied to RXG's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
7 weeks out and can eat most meals and drinks w/o restriction. Kind of scary. I too weigh and measure everything and follow to a "T" and I am losing slowly. At least clothes are baggy so something is happening. Lol. I envy you quick losers! -
alcoholic beverages
DirtyHarriett replied to Rocsi's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Only 7 weeks out so I will resist. However, diet cranberry (5 calories) and vodka is very low calorie and festive. Happy NewYears! -

Can't "eat" enough
DirtyHarriett replied to sandisleeve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Better than bouillon is an amazing broth base and comes in a few flavors. Broth can be very easy to get down when other products seem to stick. Best of luck to all of you! -
Important question to all sleevers!
DirtyHarriett replied to dreamscometrue's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am over six weeks out and following rules and plans exactly... Blessed with a good recovery and feeling great. Went for Mexican food and was eating the "guts" out of a beef enchilada. Doing great and had to have one bite of a fresh flour tortilla. One bite... Not even one inch of a piece... BAD THINGS HAPPENED! I am very afraid of tortillas now. Excellent lesson and a mistake I won't make again. Now I am afraid of bread too. Probably a very good thing. -
extreme gas pains on sides and ribs
DirtyHarriett replied to rxkid2384's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Have you had your gallbladder checked? That is pretty common with folks who experience rapid weight loss. I'd make an appt just to be sure... I hope you feel better! -
Sleeved on the 19th -- feeling bad
DirtyHarriett replied to ualaw08's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry you are struggling! I had water trouble too. I mixed diet cranberry juice with water and it was wonderful to me. I'm five weeks out and doing great. You will be there very quickly. Also, try ice chips if necessary. They melt nicely and sometimes feel better than sipping. Best of luck to you! -
Hospital here I come!
DirtyHarriett replied to Teachamy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good luck to you! Wishing you a speedy recovery. -
My surgeons office prepares it for those requesting it. I'd ask the front office staff on your first visit as they usually require Some Time to complete it. Best of luck to you!

Sick 6 days before surgery
DirtyHarriett replied to GotItDoneInHarlem's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think you will be just fine. The no aspirin and such is very important so keep NO secrets from your surgeon. If you cough post op, keep a pillow or hold your stomach with your hand. Helps a lot! If they give you an abdominal binder, even better! You can buy one if one isn't provided. Wishing you an Uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. -
Holy Crap I'm Getting Sleeved Tomorrow
DirtyHarriett replied to GotItDoneInHarlem's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
And sip and sip and walk and walk! Wishing you an Uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. -

Hot Sauce/vinegar?

Wendy's chili is a real treat and their hot sauce packet goes down nicely too!
