Got my sleeve on 12-23-2014... Now for the questions
stedfast01 replied to Shace's topic in The Guys’ Room
Yes, what you described is exactly how I felt after waking up from surgery, the minute I said nausea, the nurses was pushing iv reglan,Pepcid and zofran, , and 2 mg of dilaudid, good drug, stayed 2 days in hospital then felt like a million bucks -
My surgeon said most certainly it was ok to have a beer or hard liquor, he however wants you to wait six months out before drinking. The registered Dietitian wants a limit of 4 a months ????

The liquid fast is going well. But I think is men have less of a problem complying with liquid diets. But we must certainly don't handle pain as well as the women do ???? -
