Really? That is your reply? Please. I can see both your points. It is a legitimate question. I am in no way to use company property for personal fax. This situation is still in strict violation of Hipaa and inexcusable. Perhaps it was the delivery of the poster.

How in the world have I gained 18 pounds in 5 days?!?!?!?
IrishGermanRN replied to Fatty McFatster's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
sounds like acute renal failure after the stent placement. Can happen. Your kidneys way of saying wtf is this stent and why is it here.... and shut down for a bit. Glad the diuretics are kicking them in. -
Do you PB or SLIME with sleeve like the lapband?
IrishGermanRN posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am going in for a revision, lap band to sleeve. I could not take the PB or slime a few times a week. My band is considered a failure. Do you with the sleeve still have any slime or PB? I hated having to pull over the side of the road or leave from a restaurant because food would get stuck and I would have to vomit. frustrating. Curious if this still occurs with the sleeve. Thanks -

Absolutely! Protein bars especially quest with the high fiber are amazing. I also like crunch protein as well. -

IrishGermanRN replied to Kim Smith's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
I agree with My fitness pal. I also agree supplementation if needed. Protein shakes are NOT a no no if you cant get your requirements in. By all means use them too -

This saved me too!! -
I did the phases gradual per by Drs orders. In fact today is day 40 and I'm allowed full meals. But I'm still doing mostly soft foods and bringing in more as I adjust. Biggest thing for me is getting the protein in. Focusing on those first

Gaining instead of losing
IrishGermanRN replied to NatashaSaysRawr's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Protein is a must for anyone undergoing any surgery. I'm 5 weeks out and am slowly losing, I too have had gains but I've upped my calories and saw a loss. I'm pushing to get to 1000 cals a day now. -
Tired of "embracing the stall !"
IrishGermanRN replied to Nurse_Lenora's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions

Surgery Scheduled and very Nervous!

I did not have to do a 3 month trial diet. I did have a goal weight to reach. That was doable. -
Just missed the BMI of 40
IrishGermanRN replied to gibsonsmom's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
This happened to my mother. Her pcp said to go down the street and order a huge burrito and come back after.. She then made the weight -
I had surgery on a Wednesday and returned the following Tuesday. My job is sedentary that's the only way I could have done it.

I bet after you are sleeved that A1C comes down. Have it drawn every 3 months as it is an average blood sugar. As you lose weight it should decrease

IrishGermanRN replied to Athenyx's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I"ve lost 0 pounds this week in the 3 week stall. I'm averaging 2 pounds a week loss. dont be discouraged. I've read many times to just keep going and the weight loss will come -
How did you do with hair loss with the higher calories than most? I'm pushing to get up to 800-900 a day. I'm 3 weeks out.

And it's articles like People mag January half their size issues while it's fantastic they did lose all the weight. People mag said they did it without "short cuts" this tells the general population that reads their mag and conditions them that anything other than the way they lost weight, is a short cut.
