happyloser13 27 Posted February 18, 2014 Hi all, wish me luck. Really nervous right now and being a nurse does not help. All kinds of things are running through my head. Will update later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JOANNE M HOLL 388 Posted February 18, 2014 Wish you smooth travels into our lap band world! Where are you from? Being a nurse will surely be of good help to you. You have the schooling on nutrition which seems to me would make it "right on" JO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SandyM 1,956 Posted February 18, 2014 Be the pt for now. Leave the nursing behind. Its very easy to believe we know whats best when this is as "greek" to us as it is to everyone else, even as nurses. My mother was a dietician and I was still a fat person. I knew the rules, just didn't know how to apply them. You'll do great. Come back and let us know how it all went once you feel like it. 1 rosettag reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happyloser13 27 Posted February 20, 2014 Hi all, well i'm doing well post op day 2. Had my surgery on 2/18. I'm on full liquids right now. Pain is better today but mostly sore when i sit, lay, or get up. Gas is much better today too. It's moving down now so no more shoulder pain which was rough the first day and the next day. Hate my Bariatric Advantage Vitamins because they taste gross. Thanks for everyone's support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
