Just had total knee replacement. Gastric Sleeve was scheduled for February. I have a lot of physical therapy and another leg to have operated. I just can't do another surgery. So guess I will try and lose weight by self again or gain more or let body rest then have the Gastric Sleeve.

Thanks for advice. I have been eating more than ever have. Don't know if it's my nerves meds or what. I need try to get some control and I will try some of your recomedations.

I may have to push my surgery to February. Starting a new job and the surgery is to close tothe date I have in October to take off. Then the holidays. Plus said January would be hard to get any time off. So I am going to call tommorow, see what February looks like. That's so long away. Maybe I can try a diet once more. Don't know what to do. I already had to change from August to October now all the way till February. I will have a secondary insurance from my work by then. Diet or patiently await till February?

I thank you for your advice. This job is at the hospital that I am going to have the surgery at. So maybe they will work with me.

My surgery is scheduled for October 8. Now have to cancel. I got a job and start on September 30th. I wonder since I am just starting, if I could still take 2 weeks off for surgery and recovery in a few months. I should have waited. What to do? I guess I will ask HR before I even start.

I have change the date again because starting a job on 30th. So hopefully it will be done at least by January. Let me know how your surgery goes.

I just bought different protein for whenever. My husband is going to the store he is buying some Carnation breakfast. I ordered Ujury my hospital recommended. I guess need soups and ?

I was talking liquid portion after surgery. I don't have to do a pre diet either. hope I haven't gained. Thanks for list. Someone said take gasx. 37days.

Thanks that's a lot of protein.

My surgery is not till October but I need to get thing's together. I need a list for the hospital stay to recovery and to drink on the 2 week liquid diet. I bought Ispure, some broths and Lady Boss protein shake and a variety of protein shakes from Bastric Pal. Help!

They told me the same. It made me to go into super drive of overeating and now I have gained. So they want you keep it off but not losing weight is, that is hard to find the balance.

Yes you do. I was almost crippled and I want go back to work no on disability. .

I will have to try. I have two kinds in the cabinet haven't tried yet.

You sound like me. No cyst though. My Dad has them operated on, their no joke. Prayers for your surgery

I was in so much pain I couldn't stand but he gave me cortisone shots in both knees. NSAIDS that are the lowest as far as hurting the lining of your stomach. I guess if I am still hurting after I have surgery I will then have to have knees operated on. If insurance approved going do some more weekly silicone shots.

I had that surgery in January

I hope that's my case, my surgeon told me not to take any more arthritis meds. I haven't since May. If afterwards still in pain are we allowed to take any meds?

Those who have arthrites, do you take any meds after surgery?

Thanks for recommendations. I also am going have issues in the bubbly of the carbonation. One step at a time.

I change mine to Oct 8. My other Doctor recommended it. So you can tell me how it goes, so I will be prepared for my sleeve.

The headaches are so bad but hope I will be able to stay off my diet cokes. I've drank them for 16yrs. Alot of food addiction trying to break before October.

I have bad sleep issues maybe getting of caffeine will help.

I will eventually need to stop decaffeinated and drink just water I guess. What did your nutritionists say about not drinking decaffeinated either or is it ok.

I am not having fun coming of caffeine before surgery. Probably after the headaches go away I will be fine. Then the artificial sweeteners will be next. I have 2 months so I am sure I can do this. I am not required to do a liquid diet b4 hand. I might do it anyway just to prepare my liver to shrink down. I hope I have not gained since last visit. How did you do in breaking your caffeine addiction?

My surgery date changed, does anyone have an October date.
