Just prep your house with food and protien drinks. Also you need someone to drive you home so you might as well have them pick up your medication .

Chewable is the way to go especially with rny. Costco and sams club have chewable gummie vitamins and calcium chews.

Good job :)

Yes. When you turn on your side your insides shift around tugging on all those sensitive sirgica sites. I personally could not sleep on my side till about 10 ish days out but I had a host of complications that made side sleeping more painful.

I get stalls every few weeks. Just keep doing the program and your body will respond.

Northern cal here... Had to buy flip flops. Haha. Joking. I do turn the AC On in the car though ;)

I have told my close friends and family. But most of them I told the night before surgery... Lol Got a lot of heat from that one...haha. Especially since I had gall bladder complications and stayed in the hospital for 9 days. I told my co workers I was having my gall bladder out and "other gi stuff done". I just did not…

Maybe ask your doctor about this...maybe the top of the sleeve is to tight at the top. I could barely get done full liquids at first but he assured me it would loosen and now I am fine. Did you have a Hiatial hernia fixed as well? Maybe the sphincter is to tight at the stomach opening. Keep us posted.

Even post op my head still tries to run my stomach... Dang head hunger... My brain still remembers all the years of habits. TV and the movies is a big one for me . For a treat I brought flavored almonds to the movie the other day.

I would love to see my video just out of curiosity (I am a nurse ) but I had a significant complication so I am sure he would say no... And I would hate for him to think I was making a case against him or something.

What is this protein enhanced pasta you speak of? Also does the scoop of protein powder make coffee taste bad?

I am just glad it is probably not a permanent after effect of my surgery/ bike leak/ pancreatitis . I was afraid it was fibromyalgia caused by body stress. Fingers crossed it is just the Meds.

Thanks for checking on me Bugged53 After this post the bad pain stopped but I still have moderate pain and restless legs and arms. I talked to my GI doc (happen to have an appointment) he had no clue what the pain /restlessness was. He was kinda an *kitten* about it. I have a call out to my bariatric surgen. I had another…

Thought I should mention... I did not have this pain before surgery ... Only came about a couple days ago.

The pain was a little better today . I see a GI doc tomorrow for my pancreatitis... Maybe I will ask him. I am so tired and still in pain that I don't walk a lot but it is getting better. I do notice when I am up and about more is when the pain hurts to worst when I finally relax.

I am 3.5 weeks post op from the sleeve. My clothes are baggy but not enough to switch down a size. But I did buy a 2x jacket (previous size 4x) in high hopes to wear it soon :) I was going to take 4weeks off because I am a nurse in a fast paced high volume floor. But I had complications so now I will be out 8 weeks.

Bugged53 hopefully once you get more substance in you it will change. Remember to drink protien like clear zero carb isopure protien drink. I had the skeeve 3.5 weeks ago. I sometimes feel a little hungry but not like before . My brain wants to eat like it used to but the stomach says no way. Good luck to you

Hmmmm that is a tough one . Maybe call the md before then and ask. You need a complex carb but we all are staying away from them. Try eating fruit .

I can't imagine going back to work at the 3 weeks ... I would die I think. Sometimes I go 10 hrs without a break. :(

Just start again tomorrow . When I was on my 2week prep that happened to me a couple times. You got this.

Thanks. I have just been trying to rest as much as possible. My doctor extended my leave to 8 weeks since I am a nurse on a fast heavy floor. He said besides my normal post op fatigue the inflammation inside me uses a lot of my energy. He said give it time .

My journey has been hard. Had my gall bladder removed also and had a bile leak and pancreatitis. Hospitalized for 9 days. Luckily the sleeve part was a success .

Just had my sleeve surgery 2 weeks ago.

I had the sleeve 2 weeks ago. Good job on your weight loss!!! I have heard you will go through a few weeks of plateau at a time every now and then but if you just keep at it your body finally cooperates . Just keep doing what you do and maybe try staying off the scale for a bit. Or change up your excersize . Good luck

I just had the gastric sleeve 2 weeks ago. Good luck!!!
