    Free Clothes!

    I wish we had a clothing exchange with our local support group. It seems it's a shame we just drop it off at Goodwill.
  7. Hi, this might be a strange question. I am 5 weeks post-op with RNY, down 27 pounds. I know I am wearing smaller clothes but how come I am still feeling as big as ever? Also since surgery I have no desire to be intimate anymore, is that a hormone thing? Feeling bad for my husband....

    Space out Calcium supplements from your other vitamins by two hours. Also I was told to take half the calcium in the morning and half at night.

    Insurance Tricare?

    I was approved by Tricare Prime as a spouse within 24 hours. My BMI was 37 and I had high blood pressure. I also submitted a year of failed Weight Watchers documentation. I was nervous about being approved. I had gastric bypass on 12/21/15 as at the time they did not pay for the sleeve. I would not have changed my decision to get bypass in hindsight either.

    COFFEE

    I am under the impression that we ditch coffee in an effort to help us with overall hydration post-op. Actually I was told to quit all caffeine. After surgery at home it will be grader to get fluids in than pre-op because of the size restriction, the time delay with separating eating and drinking (30 min apart). I was told with every cup of caffeinated beverage you would have to drink one extra cup of water, in addition to the 64 ounce daily goal. It gets easier. I thought I could never give up coffee, but it is doable!

    Bread/wraps

    I am not supposed to eat any bread. I am only a month out. Hopefully at some point I will be able to have a wrap like that. Looks tummy.

    Alcohol- beware.

    Since your stomach won't absorb the alcohol, it affects you very quickly through the intestine. However your live has to work extra hard when you drink now, that why there should be caution. We all committed to be healthier undergoing surgery and all, why should I sacrifice my liver?
