I haven't started yet I have 4 weeks to go. But my doctor is pretty strict. They suggested sugar free Creamer and sugar substitute of some kind.

For a gastric sleeve it's six weeks and unfortunately it's Decaf.

pbvera reacted to Monie717 in Any nurses who got sleeved?
I'm an RN in a very busy L&D unit. I was sleeved a year ago. Just had my surgiversary on Tuesday! I took 4 weeks off and glad I did. The issue for me wasn't pain or mobility. It was being able to get 60oz of Water and 60g of Protein in. For the first month we can eat/drink so little at a time it requires frequent food/hydration breaks. I knew I wouldn't be able to do that on my busy unit. So I took the month. That's what worked for me. But I've seen other people with desk jobs take off only a week. Whatever works for you. Just be sure to get your protein and water in!!
