I'm a nurse as well. I ended up taking 4 weeks off from work. I too, thought I would return in 1 week but my body showed me otherwise. Good luck with everything.

How many calories am I supposed to be eating each day? I can't get a hold of my NUT and I realized we never went over this. Please help! Thank you.

I'm almost 4 weeks post op and when I drink or eat I don't really get the feeling of being full. Is this normal? Kinda worried because my biggest fear was that my sleeve wouldn't work. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I'm having the same problem. I'm still in quite a bit of pain. I'm 9 days post op and I thought by now I'd feel much better. I'm at my follow up appt so I'll discuss this with the Dr. On a good note, I lost 8 lbs. Don't know if that's good or bad tho...feel better. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on 9/14/16 and I'm in a lot of pain too. My belly is very sore. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App I had pain pretty regularly for the first week at least. I made sure I took my pain meds to sleep and it seemed to help. Is it your incisions or just your belly in general? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Both. Mainly the incisions.

I was sleeved 9/12/16. So far I'm managing to keep everything down. My only problem is that I'm still in quite a bit of pain. Not too sure if that's normal or not but I do know that it's annoying. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

@@marrse @@KAL how did it go for u guys today? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for the well wishes everyone! Well...when I woke up from the surgery it felt like I got hit by a truck. Luckily a few hours later my pain was down to a 3. My nurse said my surgery took about 1.5 hours. No hiatal hernia, no complications. It really hurts when I move but the worst part is this dry mouth. Overall I feel much better.

Hey all. My surgery is tomorrow. I'm happy but nervous as hell. I'm having weird thoughts like this is not gonna work for me. Trying to remain optimistic. See yall on the other side. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I told my sisters, parents and my mother in law. To me, everyone else doesn't need to know my business. Don't need to hear everyone's negative or sarcastic comments. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Is it ok to eat veggie burgers (like morning star) while I on my pre op diet? Already this diet is getting quite boring.
