I finally got results back from leak test and they are letting me have water! I looked at the 1oz medicine cups they brought me, and I was like oh my I can sip these down in a few mins! Little did I realize it's going to take longer than that....literally sitting in this hospital bed I realize this is the rest of my life....1oz at a time! Also 1lb at a time!!! I didn't get fAt over night!!! Kim 1 day post op:)

Sip and walk then repeat!! I finally got the gas pains to move a little early this morn after I walked!!!

Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts today! After I got back to my room from recovery this morn I was so nauseated and pain was pretty bad, but once I got some more pain meds and zofran I felt 10x better!! I've walked a lot today and gotten up to go to the bathroom!! It's amazing how much better you feel once that gas starts moving out!!! The worst part is dry mouth! Good night my fellow sleevers Kim

Has been my lifesaver through this low carb, high Protein diet the last 2 weeks!! If I felt I needed something sweet I have reached for the gum!!! Thank goodness after surgery my NUT even suggest chewing sugar free gum! She says a lot of patients miss "chewing" during the 2 week liquid diet and the 4 week puréed stage! NUT said it will really help!!! Surgery 8/8/13 Kim

I was wondering if you could take ibuprofen post-op? My weight loss center said I could take it!! I know GB patients can't, but was just wondering about other people!?! Kim Surgery 8/8/13

Mine allows it!!! Tylenol works, but Ibuprofen works better:)
-
And works 12 hr shifts? (Or any type of work) I'm having surgery on 8/8 and go back to work on 8/23! Just wondering how you felt when you went back to work and standing on your feet for that long and caring for patients?!? Were you totally exhausted at first! I know everyone is different, but just curious!! Kim

That sounds like me!! I get off at 11pm and at the end if my week it takes me a whole day of sleeping to get over working my shifts, I hope after the first few weeks and starting the weight loss I will have more energy!!! -

One question! I know we won't be able to eat as much!!!! But do you eventually get back to the place that you can enjoy going back out to eat, or go to a BBQ, baby shower, reception!?! All within reason!!
