  4. Hi. Im lebanese too. Im in lebanon.. its true here they dont prescribe protein shakes. They depend on our food intake ! But taking protein shakes is not a bad idea. U can get them from jnc.

    Surgery Oct 20

    Well today i didnt need any painkillers. So the pain is much bareable. Otherwise the only thing making me sick is the fluid diet im on. Its just so hard cuz im always hungry nd wanting to eat ! I cursed myself alot after anesthesia too. It was a horrible experience at the hospital. Stayed on morphine for 2 days. So take it easy

    Pre op diet

    Well a bmi of 38 isnt considered low. Sleeve gastrectomy is done for people starting from a bmi of 35. 38 is actual obesity; not only overweight. Im just sick of diets and weight loss nd gain over nd over. Plus i work as an RN, nd started to have severe back pain. I just know being this "fat" is not doing me any good. I feel heavy, sometimes dyspneac, etc... plus its just gona boom my self esteem and psychological status when i lose weight ! This overweight is keeping me depressed.

    Pre op diet

    Hehe dont worry im an RN.. i know exactly what the surgery is about.. its just that here in lebanon drs deal with this surgery quite differently.. so i was curious to know what people abroad do exactly. Here ur not required to take any supplements post op, and patients are actually doing well.. also ur not required to go on a pre op diet.. so i was just wondering why drs deal with the issue differently..
