Gastric sleeve surgery and returning to work?

I looked a little into it. I read their is like 8 weeks recovery time. So that no working for 8 weeks I would think untill doctors give the ok.

Has he looked at changing he eating habits. I would say that the hardest part. Give up sugar and carbs is not easy. I been reading how eating fats age good for us, but the trick is we are suppose to be eating healthy fats. They say fats are what give us that full feeling. So when we are told to just eat healthy food people are always hungry and that not good. So if we eat healthy fats we feel full and then if we stop eating so much sugar and carbohydrates like breads that just turn into sugar in out bodies.

We eat so much sugar our bodies can't burn that much energy so we store it as fat. If we stop eating all the suger our bodies still need energy. So we start burning fat. Turn our bodies onto fat burning machine instead of suger burning machine just by not eating sugar and carbohydrates. Then most people say they can't because they don't feel good and hungry all the time. That were eating high fat, but healthy fats come in. Fats make us feel full.

Check this out if you want he explained stuff differently then what we are told in the pass.

The food on the big road is horrible for someone like the one you are fixing to gastric on. I say it cannot be done.

I suspect it's about 2 months to heal the incisions and everything and another month to clear the pain meds and at least almost for passing a hair test but... when I consider 552 boxes of Beef, each one 120 pounds on average on the floor to be moved 50 feet into the dock area by hand in a few hours... that's not a place for your surgery man.

I ate huge amounts of food in my time and maintained my weight. Now a days a can of soup pushes me 20 pounds over because I am not working anywhere near as hard. If they made my stomach the size of a teacup and hand me a semi a few months later I couldnt do it.

I maintain a good weight and BMI for my height, it's so average. But obesity did kill some of my family by their 40's if they used food as a crutch for the problems in life decades ago.

Im trying to be gracious and look forward to a time where the bypass returns that person to a normal life and weight, hopefully clear of any complications and go on the road if that is what he wants to do.

But not now. Now is not the time for that. It's going to be a torture chamber to a gastric bypass patient to be passing large and small eating places stuffed with calories, salt and god knows what else. One in Texas specializes in 5 pound steak free if you can eat it in one hour savvy? (Not me... one pound is plenty and I might ride on it for 2 or 3 days before I have to eat again....) and those philly food trucks YUM! But not for that gastric patient. All hungry watching everyone else slob out....

no don't do it to him.

 

The bypass doctors also check for sleep apnea usually because without good sleep your body will want sugar and stuff trying to make up for lack of sleep and no energy. Getting a good night sleep will stop people from craving sugar and candy bars and soda.

 

I tried so hard to stay out of the sugars. If anything a bushel of salad with a gallon of ranch please... it's nuts the people that look at me. But they settle down when the burger and fries with gravy arrives. Sugars don't last long and are not that welcome when you got 600 miles to do today.

 

I got some 100% grass feed beef sticks and they package using fermentation. So no sugar or bad stuff for. It's like a Slim Jim but the real stuff. Kevin sells them but you can go directly and get them also. No sugar and no carbohydrates. No refrigeration needed

That is a challenge to me, I hope that they are easier on the teeth chewing than those Jims are. What do you think? Jerkys or similar here sold in stores are like hard candy to me... I hope these people know how to keep it from becoming hard in the making there.

 

They are soft kinda like a hot dog. They are basically package in water

 

Do they remove it later? Any surgery of the digestive system is a really big deal.

 

The band is removed if there are complications or insignificant weight loss after a period of time. Like any surgery recovery depends on individual. I had a friend undergo the surgery and she lost 150 lbs. Saw another guy lose 150lbs then put it right back on because he did not follow a proper diet.
