Regular water or infant water?!

@b0rii305 it's just a type of bottled water with electrolytes -

Some people find that tap water doesn't agree with them post up. You may consider getting a filter if you find tap doesn't agree with yoy. In the hospital, I ended getting my husband to bring me smartwater to finish my water challenge. The water from a filtered machine was just too metallic tasting. Hydration is hydration get it how you can! -
I have a scale that does weight, water, and fat. It helps me see other fluctuations other than just the weight. Like I actually gained .8 but my water levels are up and my fat it's slightly lower so I have a better idea what it's occurring. I'm only 3 weeks out and I'm on the scale only 2-3 times a week until I get my one month mark, then I'm aiming for once a week or every two weeks. You actually have to say no scale and break the habit with the scale. Put it on a calendar! If it's not a weigh day then stay off. Store the scale on a shelf or inconvenient spot not on a floor where you can just hop on.

March 2019 sleeve weight loss buddies
lesslana replied to makisue's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had my surgery on Tuesday the 19th. I was knocked out for the rest of the day. I did vomit twice in the first 24 hours but then I was fine. I walked a mile and was discharged on the 20th. Things have been going smooth and I switched to regular liquid Tylenol by Thursday. I've been hitting at least 2 miles a day on the pedometer. No problem getting liquid or protein. Thank God [emoji119] -

Still pre-op but I've heard this can be from the anesthesia and breathing tube. Are you holding a pillow to your tummy for support during cough? I've never had surgery so I can speak to tiredness. Maybe if you have protein that is mixed with vitamins reach for that one over just protein only shake variations. Glad you're staying hydrated! -
What kind of blender for purees?

That doesn't work for the pureed stage to my knowledge... -

I have a refurbished vitamix. I've had for several years tho. I didn't buy because of the surgery. -

Pre Op liquid diet.. help
lesslana replied to Alwzla8's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah, I am using the high protein slimfast and unjury shakes. There are other shakes unless your surgeon disapproves but a protein shake isn't the most appetizing thing no matter the brand IMHO. [emoji52] Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using BariatricPal mobile app -

I just did this. You should check with your HR representative who handles FMLA only. They will advise you regarding your institutional policy and cannot disclose because they are designated as confidential HR personnel (if that makes sense). I submitted my FMLA and had been approved. They offer came 24 hours later. I informed the hurting manger at that time and we both agreed my start date would remain the same. New job 3/11, sleeve 3/19. I'm only asking for the same weeks. It's a desk job. But know your policy first before proceeding! Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using BariatricPal mobile app
