Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 One thing that I like but rarely ate as a pre-op due to it's astronomical fat content was corned beef hash. Check out a can next time you're in the store -- it has tons of protein! Same with bacon -- ignore the fat and look at the protein and you'll see it's a great post-op food.>>>>> Oh, yeah, : I LOVE corned beef hash... it is pretty rich tasting, though. I found that I could only eat a little bit of it b/c it's so salty. I didn't personally find any problems gas-wise, etc. because of the fat (but, then again, I didn't eat it regularly, just on ocassion). I love that and bacon -- I just don't make these things for myself (same with eggs --- I can't make a good egg). So, I have them when we go out to the diner. But, I did find these great frozen omlettes (called Chef's Omlettes) and the cheese ones are delicious!!!! I'll have those often for breakfast! There's actually a can or two of corned beef hash sitting in my cupboards... I just haven't gotten the energy to make it yet for breakfast. And, I know it wouldn't take toolong to fry up -- It's just that with the kids I usually make it really short, sweet and simple in the a.m.'s and get into a pattern of what we eat. I should break out that hash, man! all the best, lap ds with gallbladder removal January 25, 2001 five months post-op and still feelin' fab! pre-oP: 307 lbs/bmi 45 (5'9 1/2 " ) now: 238 lbs/goin' down???

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 , I had to sleep in a recliner for almost two weeks. I guess everyone is different.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 -: Forgive me for having a brain fade. I am at my friend's house using her computer, and at home I have it written down that it is your re-birthday. Congratulations on a job well done, and keep up the good work. BTW, how long did you wait before getting plastic surgery, and who did you go through for your tummy tuck? Thanks dear!!

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hi yep its my rebirthday!! I had my tummy and arms done one year after the WLS..on Sept 1.2004. Kaiser Richmond did both at the same time. My tummy was covered for medical reasons but I paid for my arms. Dr Yokoo is the name of the plastic surgeon that did it for me.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I slept in my bed the very first night home. Granted, my husband didn't! He got to sleep on the futon in the extra room. I just propped myself up in the middle of my king size bed with lots and pillows and slept like an absolute dream!

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 ...I think people with "open" surgeries tend to be more comfortable in a recliner. I had LAP, and I slept in my bed (on my side, with lots of prop pillows.) RobynnTina wrote: I slept in my bed the very first night home. Granted, my husband didn't!
