I started tanning about 2 weeks after my surgery and I had no issues. I covered and still do cover my incisions, but I've gone 2x a week for 5 weeks now.

Vitamin E and Coconut Oil...been working for me.

I'm from Alberta and I was sleeved on Feb 11/13 in Medicine Hat. I'm down 16lbs since surgery and 32 lbs including pre-op. Feeling great!

My last c-section was 3 years ago, so I remember it quite well...c-section is alot worse...,you'll be fine!

Nut told me to follow Dr orders but try to sip on water thru out the day. So, I'm doing 1 oz protein drink/hr and about 16oz of water thru out the day....fingers crossed. Btw, she called him 2x to clarify this is really what he wants me eating - he said yes. He doesn't want to risk my pouch stretching and damaging the stitch line. Also, no vitamins until I'm on food.

Thanks all

I always tan 2x per week to keep my eczema under control...just wondering if anyone knows when it might be safe to start again. I'm 9 days post-op

I was sleeved on the 11th as well...can I ask, how much liquids are you allowed to eat for the next 2 weeks. I'm limited to 1oz per hour and no Vitamins until I get back to food...is this similar to you?

He told me 60ml every 2 hours which means 1 oz per hour...I think it's too little too, I'm heading to the nutritionist this afternoon

I'm concerned about how little my Dr has told me to consume...I fear dehydration, hair loss, in ability to heal...I am 4 days post op and am home. My Dr has told me 60ml (1oz) clear fluid every hour for the next 3 weeks...does this seem right?

I see people saying they are drinking 100 oz of water a day...I am 4 days post op and my Dr told me 60ml of clear fluids every 2 hours for the next 3 weeks...and he wasn't concerned about protein. This doesn't seem right based on everything I've been reading. Can you please tell me what you've been eating from 4 days post op and on

Pretty good...I have lost 13lbs, so I'm quite happy with that - luckily for me I quite like the protein shakes, so it hadn't been too bad. How about you?

Wow, you're travelling...good luck to you! I'm going in Monday, the 11th. Take care, I'd love to hear about your post-surgery success!

In Medicine Hat...you?

I'm getting sleeved on the 11th as well, in Alberta Canada. I would love to keep in contact!
