Wow foster, sounds like you dropped your blood pressure. Hope everything turns out OK.

I average 85-90g Protein per day, and have from day three post-op.

How are you getting all that protein?

Messed up my reply...

Surgery on a Thursday - home on Saturday 'cause I couldn't keep anything down. Took Monday off and started Teleworking on Tuesday.

I'm glad I did it that way because I had to take some breaks during the day (which would not have been possible in an office environment). Still teleworking as much as possible.

Don't rush it and give yourself a chance to heal completely!!

Amen!!

You are looking great. Keep it up!

Honestly, I haven't been doing much. I was walking when the weather allowed, and this month I started the 30 day Arm & Thigh Challenge. Wednesday I start at a gym with a personal trainer, so we will see what she has me doing!

What's a 30 day Arm & Thigh Challenge?

What kind of work outs are you all doing?

Trying to get some ideas - I've never been into exercising...

Why is it that some surgeons can get away with only making a few incisions while other have to make several incisions on the stomach? Shouldn't it be the same common practice along the board?

I think some of it has to do with their experience and comfort level. Mine used the Da Vinci robot and created 5 incisions!!

I'm eleven days out and those strips seem to be GLUED on!

I'll ask my doc if I can put Mederma on the scars once I get access...

Can I please be added to Dec. 19th?

Thx... still fighting to keep fluids down so I'm kinda punky

Having great difficulty keeping things down. Anti-nausea suppository only works for a little while. Can't wait for this to settle down!!!

Hi,
I'm being sleeved tomorrow also. I don't think it's hit me yet.
Hope you have a successful surgery and a speedy recovery!

Congratulations, how did it go?

Ready to head to the hospital. I think it is finally starting to hit me (nausea)!

Prayers going out to Dec. 19th sleevers and those in recovery.

Save me a spot on the loosers' bench.

Hey, I'm on tomorrow too. :-)

Dec. 19th surgery - OMG, that's TOMORROW!!

Couldn't sleep even though I took something to help. Tonite - VALIUM!!

Still no support from my significant other. I wonder if this surgery has broken up any relationships. Prayers welcomed!

Well - The ONLY person I've told about my surgery just said to me:

"You've completely wrecked our routine"!

So much for support. I'm so pissed right now, I feel nauseous !!

Just said a little prayer for you!

Be well soon.

Have you all been instructed to do a Pre-Surgery Skin Prep?

What about applying Mederma post-op?

I have a question. Anyone regretting their decision? No one has said anything so I was just wondering.

Lucky - someone else asked that same question last week before her surgery.

So I just told someone about my surgery coming up on Monday and I got the rudest response which is making me really upset. They said, oh no that's terrible. You couldn't do it on your own? Meanwhile, SHE was huge herself! I'm feeling a little discouraged

I think I would've asked her "so how's THAT working for you?"!

Dec. 19^th sleever Wondering if I can really do this.

Spent Thanksgiving with family constantly pushing food. Birthday dinner 2 days ago, so I finally started the "pre-op" diet.

I guess one week is better than nothing but I'm starting to see how much food controls my days!

Am I putting all my "eggs in one basket"? Umm - I love eggs...
