Where are the 50s ???

Robin - sorry to hear about your snag. I was originally going to take 2 wks off, but I was and still am so easily fatigued and tire quickly, that I'm taking a full 4 wks off. I do know a lot of people went back to work very quickly, so it all depends on how you are feeling at the time.

nannie - I'm so new, I'll be interested in hearing what others have to say about that.

Joni you are lucky to be able to take the time. I am self employed and will be home on June 15th and have to and I mean have to be back to work on the following Monday. I am not too worried about that. I am worried about the 12 hours flying and stop overs at airports to get home ugg.

I'm right with you there, Nannie. It's so easy to snack and gain a few and almost impossible to take it back off. It's maddening.

Kat - Make sure you have Protein available for your flight and stops! I'll be thinking of you and rooting you on!!! You'll be fine, don't worry - I know there are plenty on this site that have done the same. Maybe you should post something for their feedback?

New topic for us over 50's.....or anyone!!!! I have heard that after the sleeve, people tend to be cold(er) all the time.......Question: how long after surgery does this happen? ....... i am always hot - hate to be in the sun - just adds that much more heat. When i sleep i have to have a fan blowing on me and only use a sheet (if even that)....i am 2 weeks post-op today and it still has not happened... Does it depend on the weight loss? just needing a little info.... Thanks

Yes you do get cold! It was a gradual thing with me ...the more I lost the colder I got. I sleep with shirt, sweatpants and socks...always cold.....sorry wifey No complaints here though...Nobody said it would be perfect surgery for us in every way!

[tjmom 200]

spartysmu ... Thank you, i will try to be patient ....

[tjmom 200]

I should have said "another" topic....i don't mean we can't continue talking about all our other ones.... My bad!

Thanks Joni

I am nervous about going myself and scared too. My husband feels terrible that I have to do this alone but I am determined to do this. Must remember my Water and Protein Drinks for down and back.
