    You can drive as soon as you are off pain meds for 24 Hrs. if you can move and be comfortable I'd go to the movie,although I'd opt for 4 days after surgery

    Tomorrow is the day! GIVE ME TIPS!

    azquilter92 replied to sstark1285's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    When you wake up,they will get you up and walking as soon as possible. Ask for water or ice chips.and drink or suck as much as you can. Other than,,that,qhen you get home,dont over do it,if you have help at home,use them to take care of everything else, you concentrate on you

    What to Wear there ?

    azquilter92 replied to BuffaloCarol's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Wear loose fitting clothes,sweats work very well. Or your jammies. You dont want constrictive clothes, your stomach will probably be swollen from the gas they use to inflate your abdomen with and surgery itself can cause swelling,so yoy really want to be as comfortable as possible

    Turkey bacon?

    azquilter92 replied to MLCT's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I was also told regular bacon was better than Turkey bacon. I bake mine in the oven. 350 degrees for about 30 min or so. Use parchment paper on cookie sheets.its great

    Beef jerky?

    azquilter92 replied to JackieV's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Turkey jerky is awesome,although it can be really easy to eat a whole pkg in one day if you are nibbling all day,it is rather salty.but soooo good

    Coloring hair

    azquilter92 replied to Iamfinallyme's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Grays are unrelated to surgery. I started going gray in my 20s. I dye mine auburn,goes well with my complexion and green eyes
  14. azquilter92
    You should try and find a Dr in your area. A baratric surgeon of course,ask if they will accept patients who had their surgery done elsewhere,also definitely find a support group to attend,that's really a must. My surgeon will accept anyone but im in Tucson az

    Black tongue

    azquilter92 replied to LovinMe2013's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Really,ive had a geograpical tongue all of my adult life,not related to Vitamins,at least my dentist never mentioned it

    Lol I've been sucked back in also

    I think drs say 2 Weeks as a minimum,thinking people want to return to work asap. Afraid they will lose their job or something. Did he akso tell you that even though you can rwturn after 2 Weeks, you have a 15 lb lifting restriction for a month after surgery? So nothing heavier than a gallon of milk. My job will not let you return with any restrictions period. So if you can take the time do so
  19. azquilter92
    My surgeon has this rule. A protein bar should have a 1:10 ratio Meaning if it has 150 calories it should have at least 15 grams of protein 200 calories-20 grams of protein Its not a hard fast ,or medically scientific. But the one thing we need most of all is protein and not wasted calories
  20. azquilter92
    If it's really a concern,you could always say you ate a little while earlier and not really all that hungry

    A $2,000 Bill in the mail

    azquilter92 replied to ortega07's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    They probably havent recieved payment from your INS yet,and then they will send you a bill,although it should state on there that it was sent to your INS and what date etc

    This Is Torture!

    azquilter92 replied to connie3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Dont weigh yourself everyday. I know its really hard believe me. But go on and live your life it will happen. My surgeon said throw your scale away,just get weighed when you come in for your check ups. Most people dont im sure,but its a thought
