Big Lou

Thanks for the replys ,I'm going to ask my doc to reconsider time off ! I surely don't want to screw any thing up !!

Thanks for the reply , that's what I'm thinking also 4 weeks isint long enough !

Hello friends, I'm still pre op until sept 18 my big day ! My question is my dr said 4 weeks off to recover I'm not sure that's going to be enough time . I work on a highway crew, alot of manual physical labor involved with my job . Lifting shoveling and so on ! Is four weeks enough time to heal properly ? Anybody else have a physical demanding job ? There is no light duty work at my place of employment ..

Sorry it comes in vanilla bean , strawberries and cream , chocolate bar !!!! I bought vanilla and strawberries & cream

Anyone tried these shakes 25 grams Protein 170 cal 6 total carbs

Congrats !!

I also have it too ,it's not that bad getting used to sleeping with a face peice . You'll feel alot better when you use your machine !!

Good luck and congrats !!

The salad is for dinner also no cheese or any croutons and two teaspoons of balsamic vinaigrette dressing only !!

My 2 week diet consists of protein bar for breakfast , protein bar or shake for lunch , 1 small piece of fruit between breakfast and lunch and a salad with 3 oz of low fat protein. Also sugar free jello and non caloric drinks to my likening ! Also the protein bars have to be 200 calories or less

My wife ordered it thru Amazon. Com it wasnt available for kindle. Sorry for the delay !

Well my pre op is done now a visit to the surgeons asst for a physical , visit to the nut and all systems go !!!! Lol hope so pre op diet starts sept 4 .

Thank you !!!

Blood work , EKG , chest X-rays , already had my pulmonary function test .one step closer !!! Let's roll !!

Congrats on your big day !! I'm sept 18

Congrats ! Wish you a speedy recovery !

Thanks everyone ! I'm sure I will have more questions . My preop starts in two weeks sept 4 until then I'm still trying to eat smart !! That's my hardest thing right now !

Sure hope so .

Chaotica, are there things you can eat without trouble or does everything make you sick ?have you talked to your Dr? Hope it gets better for you

I'm still preop but for me it was my bmi and the heart to heart talk with my surgeon . He was willing to the sleeve but he felt the rny was a better fit for me and after a ton of research I did the rny was my choice . Good luck with your choice

Thanks for your replys , gas pain I'm not looking forward to ! As far as getting in protein and liquids I'm going to try my hardest and patience I'm going to have to learn that also I eat very quick and need to change my wife is helping me with that. Thanks again Lou

Ok friends, I'm just curious to what the hardest thing after surgery is in your opinion ? We all know life can be cruel sometimes and isn't fair either but it is what you make of it ! So let me here what's been your ( hardest thing ) !!!

thank you wish you well its exciting thinking about a new start !!
