Some questions for a nervous nelly...
doreyrae replied to nervousnelly's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

'Surgery' cards... Notices to resturants that you've had bariatric surgery
doreyrae replied to dansgem's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I probably won't be trying again. I will take a bite from my kids and husband's plate from now on. We don't go out often so its not a big deal. Its just a shame because there was 7 of us ordering. We just took our business elsewhere. -

I also have a card. I have not had a problem anywhere except TGI- FRIDAYS. They flat out refused to let me order from the kids menu, so my family and I left and will not be returning. -

Tired & no energy: blah
doreyrae replied to bringiton's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not sure how I can help because I am in the same situation. I was sleeved on 3/30 and am down 42lbs. I am so tired all the time. I have no energy to make it through the day. Any advise would be helpful. -
Mainly all foods are OK for me. I have not tried bread, rice or Pasta. I dont plan on trying them either. My only problem is grits. Major stomach pain.

Yes I smoke and I am 7 weeks out. Dr said not to smoke the first 21 days. Yes I am aware of the consequences. Its personal choice. -
Sleeved April 16--How long until I can go back to work as a RN?
doreyrae replied to Suko67's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
My instructions is 5 lbs the first week and add 5 lbs each week there after. -
I am a month out and I don't crush any of my pills. I have no problems swallowing them whole.

I feel the same way. I just can't get it together to drink my water, get my protein, take vitamins and eat. This is harder than I thought. I don't regret it due to weight loss but I have my moments where I wonder if I can do this. I am 5 weeks out and its not getting easier. Good luck.

I had my sleeve surgery on March 30 and had to have an emergency Hemorrhoidectomy on April 7. I am on Lortab liquid every 4 hours and its making me sick. At this point I choose to be sick over being in pain. Hope it gets better for you soon. The thing I hate is that I have not lost a single pound in the past week. Being immobile sucks!!!

Before my sleeve I felt as if my body felt solid. Post op my body feels so squishy. Its nasty!! Once I begin to exercise will my skin tighten up?? I'm only 7 days post op. Thank you
