Gotta agree with rootman on this. There is a line at work and we gotta stay about 3 ft behind it at times. U dont know how it will be accepted. Guys says u look pretty might land u in HR for hitting on a co-worker these days. But why not accept the compliment that was given at least it was noticed right. Compliment was true btw

That was the first thing they did when i went back to prep for surgery.

I didnt understand that either... I cant drink through a straw do to sucking in air but i use a cpap machine.... Idk i dont usually use a straw anyways but thought is was funny since the cpap forces air in anyways

Ok so I'm wondering if once u lost the weight did your tattoo change? I have 4. 2 small 1 med ish and ome big one one my calf. I gues om wondering if it ended up to look like a shinky dink lol. I plan on getting more but they are all big tattoos(shoulders, back, 1/4 sleeves)

13 days post op. One more wk of shake and anything through a strainer. Doc was telling me about a patient that tried mashed potatoes 9 days post op is in icu for a leak. Not worth the risk imo Being self pay not worth it at all.

I went and got some wonton soup strained it and drank the broth. It was good. I got an eggroll took a bite just to taste it and spit it out. It tasted good but it wasnt greatness lol. im so tired of protein shakes trying to change them up.

Glad it went well the nausea is not fun. Im a week out and only have a lil pain on my left side incision. I feel good though. The walking really does help( no more soreness in my shoulder). congrats on the surgery. Fast recovery

Here are the ones i drink 20g of Protein. I like them [ATTACH]6307[/ATTACH]

Preop diet does suck at times. I was doing good till fam came over and we made take and bake pizza(papa murphys) i had a slice of thin crust i wasnt happy with myself but i had to do better started over the next day. I was worried i had messed it up now its not gonna happen.Hang in there try to stick to it.

My preop diet wasnt bad 3-5 protein shakes a day i used eas lite choc. One meal- i could have 5 oz of lean meat/fish no fried 2 cups of veggies no corn or starches Was allowed maybe a tbls of fat( butter/dressing) Mustard came in handy I did some sliced turkey deli meat with mustard and spinach same with roast beef Baked chicken with steamed broc and.carrots I seasoned it to change up the taste. Hope this helps a lilbit

I was sleeved 11/7 hm on fri. Trying to get my liquids/protein in. I have been coughing since 3 days pre op still a lil there so that stings a lil. I feel good though as a matter of fact sunday i had a did i really just have surgery moment. From 10/12 till 11/7 i lost 28lbs and another 5lbs the day i left the hospital. I have no desire to eat and im not hungry Today i went and ran some errands came hm i was drained but i feel good.

Lmao that awesome

Sounds pretty good will have to try this

I took my cpap machine, gas x strips(wouldnt let me use them but gave me some of theirs), toothbrush, phone & charger. They gave me the hospital socks, bottle of isopure(didnt drink till i got hm), glasses/contacts & cases. Wear glasses to hospital or take contacts out before prep. U will be out of it the first day. Walk walk walk sip sip sip. If u have a cpap get ready to use it. I would doze off and they woild come and wake me up to put my mask on.

So i was sleeved on wed 11-7-12 Just got hm. The kept me the extra day do to getting sick(gas pains) i threw up a few time from it. So i started my 2 wk preop diet lost 28 lbs day of surgery. Checked today another 5 lbs gone. Im a lil sore but nothin i cant manage just some uncomfort. I was discharged about an hr ago. Feelin pretty good though.

My doc said anything through a strainer.but he said slurpees are too thick so im just taking it easy. Im drinkin the isopure( pineapple orange bannana) got some nectar too. I got the unflavored Protein powder too im going to make some broth with extra flavor. Some creamy soups would be good though. Am i the only one that is tired of seeing fast food comercials. I aske my doc if he could do a cool scar pattern so i could connect the dot. Guess it didnt work that way lol

Yes it sticks for a min then leaves. Im not hungry but trying to get my liquids in and not too much at a time(gulps) went out to get some stuff today at 4 store gone fo about an hr wore myself out a lil. Guess i need to take it easy since i was only discharged yesterday. But i feel pretty good. The big incision is sore up to my shoulder not crazy bad though

The gas is bad im taking the strips. It was so bad i got nauseous. Its better now though.

How did your surgery go. Im getting discharged today. Feel good little sore and was nauseous and still have some stomach pains(gas)

Im in the same boat. I called my doc. They said i could take contact and cough drops. Im taking the sugar free ones though. Im really hoping this doesnt postpone my surgery. Gl wed I have to be there at 8am wed morning

I went fri and had my blood and ekg done. The dr called me this morning saying my ekg came back abnormal. So i have another appointment with the cardio doc in the am. I really dont know what to think. I dont have insurance so im out of pocket. I have enough for my surgery but wasnt expecting this.

Well ekg came back clearer than the first one. But now i have to do a stress test friday. Not thrilled about it but its gotta be done.

Week 2 im not really hungry forcing the shakes down( not bad tasting not the best either lol) im trying to get my water in as well the sf drink mix help change it up. Im just not hungry. Anyone else the same way?

Im going in the 7th to have it done. Going to forrest park frisco. Wow 167 congrats hopefully i will get there. Im ready. Doing my preop diet
