what is your guilty or guilt free pleasure?
staboe30 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am almost 1 month out from surgery. Down 32 pounds. I have 1 guilt free pleasure that I allow myself daily... A cup of sugar free hot chocolate! Maybe it is bad, but it is about the only sweet thing I like! So, what is your guilt free pleasure??? -
I get the hiccups too. I think mine start after I have eaten too much. I usually get a little bit of a runny nose and mini burps when I am satisfied!

I took 4 weeks off. If you have short term disability, check with them, they may pay you for taking additional time off. I would also suggest doing FMLA. FMLA is a federal law that is made to protect people's jobs in these cases. You should be eligible for FMLA from day 1, from what I know there is no waiting period.

I live in Elk River about a half hour from St. Cloud. I was just sleeved 1/7/13 at Methodist hospital by Dr. Svendsen.

I was sleeved 1/7/13 by Dr. Svendsen at Park Nicollet. My entire experience was awesome from start to finish! I am almost 3 weeks out and down 30 pounds (including my pre op weight loss). Park Nicollet also has support groups that I plan on attending once I go back to work!

You might not be loosing weight, but you are probably loosing inches! -
Maybe you need to start smaller, say 2 15 minute walks. Work your way up to more. When I walk, I go 8 minutes and then turn around and come home. Remember, it may not be much, but you are doing something and if you are like me, that is probably more than you were doing before surgery! Stick with it!!!

letting my dog in bed with me.

Both my dogs slept with me. One even sleeps under the covers right next to me. -

I suggest laying on your left side with a heating pad on your belly to help move the gas and of course walk as much as you can! -

Thanks! I have been sitting around and figured today I needed to make a change! I am still amazed at how good I have felt all day! -

I was sleeved 1/07. Down 18 pounds. On full liquids. Want to eat/ chew something so bad! I have been feeling pretty blah, today I got up, had my first 20 ounces of water and some milk and went for a walk with my dogs in the 7 degree snowy weather (I live in MN) and I have felt great today. My walk was short (16 minutes) but I still felt good that I did it! -
Have everything you need for atleast the first week post op ready. From liquids to housework.

You look amazing! Keep up the great work. As a person that was just sleeved a week ago, people like you are an inspiration!

You could try just pepper on it.

Congrats! I am 1 week out today! I recommend warm water or fluid to keep hydrated. Cold makes your belly contract. Also suggest a heating pad on your belly and lay on your left side to move the gas out. The weekend when my family was around was hard, today I feel pretty good! Best of luck with your recovery!!

1 week out tomorrow and SO hungry!
staboe30 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I will be 1 week out tomorrow. I am on clear liquids only. I have been good about keeping hydrated, but I am so so SO hungry! What did everyone do to get calories when on clear liquids only? Apple juice has been making me sick to my stomach! HELP! -

My husband puts a guilt trip on me if I don't sit with them while they eat. And his idea of helping out with cooking through this has been getting pizza and things of that nature. I should have moved out for this time frame! LOL -

staboe30 replied to staboe30's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I totally feel ya! It is so frustrating because I felt really ready for this. Between the food commercials and my family constantly talking about food or what they are craving I am gonna go nuts! -

Thanks Traci J. I've been doing broth and popsicles, but still feel like I am starving. -
