Yes you will have to take it out UNLESS you can find a plastic holder they should let you wear that.

@@mishelcrz88 Did you alternate sites? If your still taking them make sure you are! Don't do them all in the same spot. -
Congrats on your surgery date! You send me your wonderful tea and I will send you protein! Lol!!!

I have no clue but you should call the customer service and ask them.

What? Are you asking if it's very painful and what about dying?

Elode replied to bajagal101's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
True! I have a new tea obsession Decaf spicy chai tea with 1tbs of half&half ! Delicious! -
Oh and I was suppose to be NPO so I kinda cheated wit the spray but hey it worked so I have no shame!
-
It sounds like your pretty prepared! I used the spray Right before they took me to the OR and I have absolutely 0 sore throat! It's still hard to believe they even put anything down my throat since I felt nothing....which is a good thing!

Lol learning lesson!

Oh and welcome!

Congrats! My bag included gas x strips, Chapstick, sleep mask, ear plugs, toiletries, Biotene Mouth spray and lozenges (for dry mouth) softest sleep clothes and slippers ever, extension cord, for my iPad, phone and heating pad, glade plug in for my room (comfort measure) big pillow, soft soothing music from my iPad (I don't watch tv) face wipes, lotion, fuzzy socks...I think that covers it...seems like a lot but I used every bit of it and I was comfortable....I guess I was nesting lol!

You're welcome! -
Make sure your spacing your protein drinks out...but not so far your going more than say 4 hrs max between. Eat SF jello and popsicles. Sip on broth! They have a lot of good flavors (Swanson) besides the boring chicken and beef. It's not the funniest time of your life but remember the reason for it!

Are you feeling lightheaded because of a pre-op diet?
-
Remember this so once the weight starts coming off you can see how far you've come! Hell you should take a picture And that can be your incentive to help you through the pre-op diet (assuming you have one).
-
Yes it gets better! I say day 5 to 7!
-
What shocks you now that you were able to eat in a sitting?
Elode replied to JALUVIC's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

Congratulations -
Premier protein is the only one I like. I drank it for two weeks pre-surgery and I'm 5 weeks out still loving them...but only chocolate!

Lol! I guess it's all in how you take it, I would take it as a complement IF I knew it wasn't said in a malicious way. Maybe it would be different in my case because my co-workers Are friends. If they aren't your friends then tell them to suck it! In the nicest way possible : )
