Hi RN here I was sleeved on July 13 and went back to work July 27. I did not tell my co-workers about my plans. I work in a Psych hospital on a intensive care unit and we are always busy with codes you name it. Im down 30 lbs so far and I feel great. When I went back I was still on full liquids so the pre made premier protein shakes came in handy

Nurse 52 replied to SnOwCrAsHeD's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good luck tomorrow -
As I have stated on here before I have had 2 failed lap bands:( With the first one I lost 115lbs:) My daughters made me go shopping with them and I bought a whole new wardrobe. I was sleeved on the 13 and I went into the spare room and moved all my old clothes to the front by size. I feel like a kid waiting to start losing weight again so I can get back into those clothes my daughters helped me pick out
