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.

Any Alberta Canada Sleevers Out There?
jdoll replied to skinnywithin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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! -

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. -
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

Can you tan after sleeve surgery?

Thanks all -
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? -
Constipated... What else can I do? TMI
jdoll replied to mikeross's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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!

My sleeve is scheduled for Feb 11 in Alberta, Canada. I have been on a self-prescribed liquid diet since Monday (as my Dr doesn't require it, but said it would be a benefit). I have cheated a couple times, but overall it's been ok. Anyone else from Canada? I'm 35, 5'6 and 244lbs with a goal of 150lbs!
