 I had surgery on May 6th and I was able to take a shower on May 8th before I went home from the hospital.

hi all- thanks so much for your concern. I just hope I can get this straightened out before Friday- if not I'll have to put my surgery off until Fall, as I won't be able to get time off over the summer.

Topic: RE: When do you start soft bariatrics?
Wow...my Doc is more strict...

Weeks 1-2 protein & clear liquids
Weeks 2-3 full liquids
Weeks 4-5 Pureed
Week 6+ soft solids progressing in amount and chewiness in 2 week increments.
Can't even have puree for 4 weeks!!!  I am bummed out.  I wonder why there is such a difference across programs?

I am not hungry either and have to make a concious effort to eat. I use shot glasses with the measures on them to measure my food/liquid. Each one is like an ounce and a half, which is about my full point at one time. Be sure your drinking so you dont become dehydrated.

Im sorry to hear about that. But it is better to catch any potential problems pre~op than have something go wrong during surgery or recovery. I hope it is nothing and you can continue on your journey.

I had sponge bath's at the hospital. When the drain was taken out before I left the hospital, my doc said I could shower once I got home.

I'm sure you'll have a stress test to see if there are any changes in your EKG. The exact same happened to me and I had my surgery last week.

Wishing you nothing but the best,

Topic: just wanted to share
I have been searching for either free or reduced prices in samples of protein and I have ordered from them below - I should get it by Tuesday the latest and just wanted to share

 We have made changes to our sample program for 2009 and I
guess those changes have not made it to obesity help forum yet. The
 following is now our sample program:
  At the request of literally thousands of pre-op and post op
bariatric patients, support groups, Dieticians and
 Physicians, we have  made some changes to our sample program for 2009. We had been offering  ½ serving size samples of 3 flavors of our protein products and many  individuals were asking how they could sample more flavors. With that in mind,  we have introduced our new “variety sample pack.” We are now making available “full serving” size packets of ALL 11 flavors of our Nectar™
 protein! The normal retail price for all eleven full serving packets is $21.89
 plus $5.00 shipping. We are offering a one time coupon for $16.90 off
 the retail price, that will bring your price down to only $4.99 plus $5.00
 shipping, for a total of $9.99! This gives people the people the ability,
 for the first time ever, to sample all 11 flavors at one time, for less than
 $1.00  per serving. This will now be our sample program, so if you would like to
 take advantage of this new program, simply call us at the number listed
 below. We will also be making this new program available online when we introduce our new website sometime in the next 30 days. This will be our
program thus forward.
 
 
 Thanks,
