Hmmm let's see what I had for thanks giving I couldn't have done better lol I have feeding tube and am I am still in the hospital so I didnt have to deal with any of it

So I am 5 weeks post op today and I had been feeling really bad and not able to keep any food down since Friday so yesterday I emailed my symptoms to my sergeon he called me right back and said get in your car and make the two hour drive to the hospital I think you might have a leak..... Well I did have a small leak so now I am in the hospital and they are going to put a feeding tube in! This is very scary to me and I just thought I could post and get support and maybe if so has questions I could answer just ask

So i started looking for recipes and found some very good ones for oopsie bread or rolls or what ever you want to call them and i just made them and OH MY GOSH! they are amazing I am enjoying a turkey sandwich witih tomatoe and onion it is so awesome!!!! Anyone who has not tried them give them a try...... Recipe 3 large eggs 1 packet of Splenda 1 dash salt 1 pinch cream of tartar 3 ounces cream cheese Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Separate the eggs and add Splenda, salt, and cream cheese to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (if you're using the same mixer, mix the whites first and then the yolk mixture). Using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and spoon the mixture onto the sheet, making 6 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly. Bake about 30 minutes (You want them slightly softer, not crumbly). Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, and then remove to a rack and allow them to cool. Store them in a bread sack or a ziplock bag to keep them from drying out. Makes 6 @ about 85 calories a piece, >1 carb per.

I was sleeved on Oct 19, 2010 I also struggled with what to do sleeve or bypass my surgen made it clear that he felt that i should do the sleeve first and if i need to go back later and convert to a bypass then that is an option vs jumping to bypass. I am very happy that I went with his plan I was at 419 bls at my highest weight and that was in July I lost some before surgery and day of I was at 388 lbs and today I am at 346 so a total of 73 lbs. It is a very personal choice but I thought it might help to hear a story that sounds close to the same that you are in. Please if you have any questions please let me know I would be happy to share if you have any questions.

I am 20 days out and I have been lossing a pound a day also so I think it seems normal GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

Hi I had my sleeve on Oct 19 I have lost 41 bls I have been doing good but some days are harder then others of course but I love not feeling hungery and not to crave! I have 187 bls to my goal when I look at that number it scars me but I know if I work my sleeve and my butt off I can do it!!!

My doctor only put out four weeks on my FMLA paper work I could take up to12 weeks paid through my work but my doctor thinks four weeks is enough! I also work on my feet all day and I am scheduled to work 12 hour shift but they usally run over so it will be hard going back the week of thanksgiving and working 4 shifts at 12+ hours each in a row but we will see!!

I am only 17 days post op but i was in the hospital for four days and i was crying all the time everything made me cry, I cried because no one was there for me but my husband no one in my family would drive an hour and half to see me and i thought oh my what am i going to do all by my self.... but then I came home and started filling better it took a few days it dose get better everyday just keep up the good work and smile! You are on the path to a healthy life!!! Its worth every minute of bad for the good that will come out of it! Who ever said it was an easy way out is very much wrong!! Best of luck to you!

I am just wondering how long some of you got off of work, at first i thought i was going to get 8 weeks but I am only getting 4 weeks off......

I had a lot of problems being approved by Kaiser but my BMI was alot higher! It took me 1 yr and 3 months to finally get my surgery! My surgery was Oct 19th, Sorry I couldnt be more help!

Thank you everyone!

Congratulations! I had to fight for a year and three months before I finally got my surgery! Keep your head up!
