Congrats! I can't wait to be there!

Have any of you heard of "Raw Protein" it is a neutral tasting powder. It sounds great for a regular stomach but I'm not sure for a new sleeve. It has live probiotics and is sprouted brown rice protien. It says Raw,Vegan,Gluten free,dairy free.

Hi I just had my sleeve on 6\26. I am drinking water (1 oz every 10 minutes) and drinking protien drinks. It only takes 3 drinks to reach protien goal but falls short of calories. What are you supplementing for calories?is the 1 oz at a time of water all my sleeve can tolerate?

Has anyone heard of Raw Protien? It is 17 gms of protein,80 calories per scoop. It is brown rice protien. Live probiotics and enzyme. Raw,vegan,gluten free,dairy free. I a, looking for something to put in broth or other foods that might not have protein. I am on week out from surgery. Is there any problem with live probiotics at this point?

I was sleeved 6/26 . I am able to drink /eat protein shakes,broth,water,Popsicle and jello. I can get my suggested protein from 2 shakes but it ins't enough calories. The other elective drinks don 't add many calories. Should I just drink 1 or 2 more shakes?sorry for the dumb question. I wasn't sure if that would be too much protein.I feel a little lost.

Hi I was in Good Samaritan with you. The post op days in hospital were good but now I'm worried about getting in enough calories. Are you drinking one ounce every ten minutes? How are you getting 600 calories in? I could drink more shakes but it would exceed 50-70 grams Protein.

I had my surgery on Wednsday, 6/26/13. The first 2 days I have felt fine.Today I am going home so they weighed me and I am eight pounds heavier tha before the surgery. The nurse said it is Water weight and will be shed quickly. I've never read about that. I have been getting in my fluids nd Proteins as directed.

I had surgery yesterday and I feel great! I had read a few blogs on Monday that we're pretty negative so I stopped reading. None of it was true for me. If I knew it would be so smooth I might have done sooner. I'll write more later cause I am sleepy.

6/27/13 had surgery. Post op is amazingly comfortable. I give Dr.Jossart and Good Samaritan Hospital Lots of thanks for amazing experience!

I got approved and my date is June 26!

I just finished my consults and have bmi 39.9 , 100lbs to lose. I have no co morbidity issues. I hope I am approved. Anyone have same situation with Anthem Blue Cross and have been approved?
