you look great...I know what you mean about not seeing it...my hubs constantly points out changes that he sees in me.

low grade temps after surgery are usually related to being dehydrated and/or needing to cough/deep breath. I would push the surgeon for an appointment.

What comfort items did you take to surgery?

I brought a magazine and my iPad. Never touched them-I slept most of the time. -
I drank warm decaf tea. I could drink that better than water.

Why the sleeve and not bypass?
doreen70 replied to odetteNYC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I chose the sleeve because I was afraid of the malabsorption issues. That, and I know a girl that had RNY and lost a ton-but she is always sick and has had 5 surgeries to repair a fistula. -
What to Wear there ?
doreen70 replied to BuffaloCarol's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wore jeans and a sweatshirt. I don't remember what I wore home. I know for my gallbladder surgery, I wore pajamas to and from. -
I don't like jerky. A month ago I bought some for my son, and tried it. Amazing! Stan's beef jerky. Order it online.

2 weeks out- Sopas and pasta
doreen70 replied to Bunnydee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do they taste like pasta? Is the texture similar? I read about those when my husband wanted to try the paleo diet. -
It's still all about choices! What's for lunch?
doreen70 replied to NtvTxn's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I had leftover crab stuffed mushrooms. -
Eat or drink protein?
doreen70 replied to Takingcontrol's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My nutritionist ad surgeon disagree on this as well. My doctor wants us off liquid protein by six months. The dietician wants us at six months to start tapering off and be completely off at one year. -

doreen70 replied to Jenny12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I drank alot of cab. Maybe 3 bottles a week. I miss it. But, it isn't worth it go me now. I don't want to trade one problem for another. -

Shout out to womans hospital
doreen70 replied to shelly311's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Awesome! My only complaint was my nurses once on the floor. As a nurse, my pet peeve is waiting an hour after hitting the call light for assistance. Everyone else rocked. -
At 5 weeks I was ravenous, all of a sudden. Even after a meal. Had been taking Prevacid daily since surgery. Changed to nexium twice a day, and had immediate relief.
