Thanks so much for the thread - I'm about to burn through a wad of cash very soon at that link!

No worries and no need to apologize! So where is your favorite place to get Quest bars? I've only seen them at GNC.

Wow - you vomited html all over that post! i'll have to try microwaving the next quest bar I get, sounds great.

I was told that the itching is good and a sign that they're healing. The yellowish, greenish pus is a different story but easy enough to fix. You'll be fine! -

How much time did you take off work?
DonRodolfo replied to Dawnyellow's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sure. I could have gone back after the first week, but my employer authorized three weeks! -

No but I plan to be shopping for new clothes as soon as it is practical. -
Anyone not drinking protien shakes or eating protien bars?

How far out from surgery are you? -
If you're doing what your surgeon tells you, you should lose weight but not strength.

BM question. I know... Sorry!
DonRodolfo replied to AddryW's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Even Protein shakes should produce a little waste. 28 days seems a lot, call your surgeon. -
finally get to post in the vets forum (pics)

WELL DONE TINK! -
My surgeon warned us that this sort of thing could happen and not to be reluctant to ask for help. Even my insurance rep said the same thing when she called me. No one has to know. I've had episodes of this where I can't even drag myself to do the cardio. We may not have all the answers, but you're not alone.

When was the last time you weighed prior to this time? Was it the day before? -
First time hospital patient and will be getting sleeved mid-july
DonRodolfo replied to jpv620's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Pretty much! In my case, the anesthesiologist said he would give me something to make me relax. I assumed he meant into my IV bag and he must have done it when I wasn't looking. I walked to the surgery room, laid on the table, was talking to the nurses and the next thing I know I'm in the recovery room. -
The day after surgery i could only take in about half an ounce at a time. Within days I could down one ounce at a time. I just noticed a few mins ago I gulped about 4 swallows from my water bottle. I can still only eat about a half a cup of food so it's all good. You're probably okay but talk to your doctor anyway.

If it's not too personal for me to ask, how much were you injecting before you split it up into every week?

Five days post-op & STARVING
DonRodolfo replied to amp122076's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Eating solid food right now can put you in the emergency room so please don't even consider it. After surgery I would feel a hunger pang even well into a Protein shake so I didn't even know what to think. Do your best to consume what your surgeon told you to and when. At some point I'm sure we learn to interpret the signals our new stomachs send us. -
Now I know exactly what my PPI does....

I'm only four weeks out. pizza used to be one of my favorite foods and there was a time in my past that I could eat half of a large one. Today I see myself passing over the pizza for a better Protein source. Can someone pass me a box of tissues?

Any Last Minute Words of Wisdom?
DonRodolfo replied to Karnie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tell me if I'm wrong later, but I think your chief regret will be not having been sleeved sooner. Best of the best to you and welcome to your new life. -
Well come to find out I wasn't supposed to be crushing two of my pills so I stopped. They were small anyway so I took a chance and Sleevie Ray Vaughn was okay with it. Ask your doctor - you might be able to stop crushing yours soon too.

Hi, if you could reach over there and hand me that asbestos fireproof suit I'd really appreciate it. (Might want to grab one for yourself. )
