Oh I do take the sublingual dots too. It's just something my surgeon does while we are at the check up.

Congrats!

@@Banded4Life You are going to have to change your name to sleeved4life

@@EhimyCD I would think you could use an alternative but I won't tell you to go against your DR. I would however tell you to call and ask them once you find something comparable to what they want you to take.

@@Proud2BMe I would think as long as you have a primary provider to check your labs ect...along the way you will be ok (assuming you dont have any complications) I only see my surgeon once a month for a few months. My first post-op appt was another leak test, b-12 shot, staple removal, and 3 min talking to. The next on is probably b-12 and weight. Not a whole lot. If the ridiculously expensive visits weren't covered by insurance I'm not sure I would keep going just for a shot and weights but I will be a "good" patient and continue on....

@@JerseyGirlShirl I stop at the first sign of any tightness. It's hard to explain the feeling I just know. Sometimes I will just count my bites And stop before the feeling.

@@shayshay24 It stinks but you will have a lifetime of thanksgivings! Make a nice pumpkin protein shake if you can have it to "kinda" make up for the sweet potato pie. Don't roll your eyes at me!!! LOL!! I'm sure @@Kindle probably has one??

@@nurse ison Dang it! And yay!

@@Shell88 I tried a few and bought a big container of the nectar fuzzy naval that everyone raved about...it's ok but I haven't used it since making a few Popsicles out of it. It Doesn't taste like any "orange juice" I've ever tried before I also bought the unflavored GNC protien powder and it def changes the flavor of things so its a big fat LIAR! Protien powders are hard!

@@shayshay24 Yes I had surgery 3 weeks ago tomorrow, it went well. I have been lucky to not have any issues and I'm losing at a nice pace so no complaints over here!

@@Quest4TheNewMe Hey if it helps!

@@Suzzann I don't have an appetite but thanksgiving is my first day of "real" food so I'm going to just put a bite of different things on my plate, start with the protein and go from there....I'm not going to push it, my family all know so they are expecting me to not eat much...no pressure there

@@shayshay24 Welcome! I don't know about the spotting because I didn't have that issue but hopefully someone here can help you with that

@@Shell88 Yep, I'd ask them, depending on how many your allowed you may not need to add protien to other things right now....unless you just want to but I didn't like adding protein powder it changed the flavor of what I'm eating "unflavored"'my buttocks! I did after surgery because I HAD to since I couldn't really Even drink that well.

@@Quest4TheNewMe I wore mine about 5 days.

I read this I just didn't have a response/answer for you

@@jtickle That sounds like a question for your surgeon. Take it easy!

@@Doingitformeandmyloves Welcome! I do travel nursing and I specialize in dialysis! Your right if you can avoid it, do it! Best of luck to you and your parents!

@@iamblessed1225 It's thanksgiving allow yourself a small piece or at least a couple bites

@@Shell88 If your getting protein drinks you probably don't need to add protein to anything else. How much protein are you getting in your shakes?

@@Shell88 Do you have to do all liquids or do you get to eat?

@@gaults I take biotin but I don't use the shampoo or conditioner.

@@minniepearl1986 Sorry your going through all that it sounds miserable. I hope they find out what's wrong and fix it soon!

@@anissad Oh just wait until you get to some purée/ soft foods! You should feel it then!

Yay!
