Fairlife Milk
IrishGermanRN replied to fighton1313's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Did she say why the Calcium in the milk doesn't count? Calcium is calcium regardless of the source. -
I didnt even think I could go this route. I was planning on using my limited vacation pay that was left. Thank you for this thread. Going to look into this tomorrow with my HR. I was going to go back to work after 6 days.

Best way I have found to make coffee
IrishGermanRN replied to Nurse_Lenora's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
This is exactly what I do at home. A double espresso with SF hazelnut syrup and skim milk frothed. I have not seen the fairlife milk. Is it here on the west coast? Or is there an alternative? -

Congrats that you are doing so well Justin. If you are listening to your Doctors discharge orders and getting in the amount of Protein as ordered, you are doing great! Keep up the great work.

Questions for those that went to Tijuana Mexico for GS
IrishGermanRN replied to EP8's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I went for the band in 09 and I'm returning for the gastric sleeve. Wouldnt have it any other way. In fact I was there today for an unfil of my band. What I would like different? Be on a balcony overlooking the ocean for recovery. lol -
Totally do this for you! Once I hit 40 I saw my blood pressure and blood sugars start to creep up as well as my weight. I want to be healthy before I hit 50. I"m going to Mexico as well. Jan 20th. Good luck!

I love this book and the author. The devotional is a 60 day one I believe.

Just got sleeved last night! My experience
IrishGermanRN replied to sirensong511's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Burping up blood, not coughing? and how much? blood tinged? bright red? I would think this could be ok after having Gastric surgery as your stomach is connected to your esophagus where you eat and burp, not your trachea, which is used for breathing and coughing. If it continues always call your surgeon. Stick to your discharge orders. Congrats. -
problems with band to sleeve revisions...
IrishGermanRN replied to mommytoethan's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
So encouraging to hear. I've had my band since 09. Getting it removed and going to sleeve Jan 20th. I had all the issues with mine as you did with yours. -
Anyone with successful weight loss with the gastric sleeve that had NO success with the lap band?
IrishGermanRN replied to DGM's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Same here. I lost about 30 pounds total with a lot of difficulty. My band then did slip. had an unfil and never the same since. Looking forward to the removal and getting the sleeve in 3 weeks. -
December 2015 or January 2016 sleevers ?
IrishGermanRN replied to neequa25's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
congrats. Right around the corner. I'm Jan 20th. I dont know if I'm thrilled or terrified either. Reading people having a difficult time getting fluids down post op to losing and feeling great to then reading sleevers gaining a year or 2 out. I"m ready to have this tool though. I'm tired of being tired. -
Having to start Blood Pressure meds and being told I was Diabetic. Enough

IrishGermanRN replied to IrishGermanRN's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you for the reassurance. I was hoping other banders who have gone to the sleeve would have more normalicy. I can not stand the PB or slime with this band. Eating out is a chore as I find I have to get up to the bathroom at least 2x a week. Thanks Congrats! This is wonderful news to hear. I was hoping this was the case. -

When banded the food gets stuck and causes excess mucus therefor causing it to slime. -

Definitely sounds like you slime less or near not at all with the sleeve. With the band it can be a daily thing. very frustrating. looking forward to having it removed -

Well... I've heard pros and cons of both. Are you not bypassing all your stomach in the bypass?
