Probably depends on your surgeon. Mine does a leak test in the OR. So I'm assuming when you wake up you start fluids. Guess I will know for sure on Tuesday.

How about some NSVs!?!?
jacileggs replied to shyanne's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was on the floor playing with the dogs and suddenly realized how easy it was to get on and off of the floor. It used to be so difficult. -
I have also had people ask me if I'm still having surgery because of weight loss prior to surgery. My response was YES. I want to be healthy for the rest of my life. Not just a few months.

So just curious how much time off work you guys took? I have two jobs. A desk job which I plan in taking a week and then maybe half days the next week. My second job is a cashier at walmart. I definitely need more time off there. Any suggestions from those who have already been through it? My surgery is on jan 21.

You are hot! Congrats. -
I still have 75lbs to go and I'm starting to be cold a lot. I live in southern alberta canada. Where we sometimes get down to-40fahrenheit in the winters. Yikes.

Congrats. That's awesome. I'm getting close.

I have a fitbit. Also the scale that goes with it. It uploads your weight each time you weigh. Very cool.

Started my 3 weeks protein shake diet today. Yuck. It's optifast prescribed by my surgeon. And I have a whole 3 week supply so I can't change. But I am determined to stick with it. -

Glad to hear that it's covered for you. We are lucky. I see a lot of people on here with insurance problems. -
I had the stomach scope done it's no big deal. Don't even remember it they drug you up and I slept most of the day.

I like to shop at value village our local thrift store. Especially now as I approach my surgery I will mostly be buying stuff there as it won't be fitting long anyhow.

2biglamb curious about something. Does your provincial health cover your surgery here in alberta or do you have to pay? I was soooo happy to learn our alberta health care covers it now. I was going to self pay in great falls Montana at around $15000. -
Love this thread. Cracks me up. Personally I haven't had sex for a decade. Yikes. Single and haven't been interested in dating. I'm sure that will change as my self esteem grows.

Love that you are talking to your liver. I think I will do the same when I start my 3week liquid diet on tuesday.
