It may be anatomical. There are several reasons for OSA.

ask your home care company about nasal pillows.

I'm drinking 3 protein shakes a day (yes at a month out) Muscle Tech has 20 grams per scoop. Add 2% milk and I'm close. I've been experimenting with what foods I can tolerate and I'm there. The fluids is a challenge some days. I really need to focus on drinking. I am now one of those water bottle carrying people.

That's awesome. No problems here. Sleeved Feb 3rd. It hit 29 lbs this morning and 75 lbs total with pre op diet. I'm taking in around 70 ozs of water, 700 cals and 80 grams of protein per day. It's going to be an awesome summer for us. Here is a picture of my progress. The two pics are maybe 8 woks apart and around 40 lbs.

I was sleeved on February 3rd. Released to go home on the 5 the and had sex that night. Slow motion but it counts. Lol.

sorry. Didn't see this post.

Hello to all you fellow February sleevers. How is everyone doing? How is your diet progressing? How is the "melting" going?

Buck fever--- how you feeling?

Post op I couldn't tolerate broth. Sooooo salty. Made me gag. I am 14 days post op now and still pretty much drinking the protein shakes.

. Thank you Cupcake

Jerzie Girl. How are you doing?

Hi. Day 10 post-op. I'm doing well. I do miss chewing. Today I had a scrambled egg for breakfast. OMG. An egg never tasted so good. The protein shakes are starting to get O L D..... As for my numbers... I'm down 15 lbs since surgery and 61 lbs from the pre-op diet. No pains no real discomfort. It's going to be a great summer for us.

Canton here. Sleeved 2/3/14 and doing good.

I've been loving Muscle Tech protein powder. 120 cals and 20 gr of protein per serving. Tastes great

Today is day 4 post-op for me. How sweet is propel and how salty is soup?? Crazy taste buds.

I was sleeved on the 3rd of Feb. all went well. This is going to be a great summer.

Hi. I was also sleeved Monday the 3rd. All is well. I'm a tad sore but that's about it. Liquids are going in no problem. I'm up and walking a lot. Things are going good. I'm a happy boy.

Great this tread is still active. This Respiratory Therapist is now sleeved. Surgery was 2/3/14 and I can say all is well. No problems sipping, getting my fluids and protein in. Walking is going well my OR IV fluids has come off nicely and as of today I am down 5 lbs from Monday morning. I think about the Stephen King movie "Thinner" when I see myself begin to melt. I'm on my way. 2014 is my year!!!

Thats awesome.

I had my eval 2 weeks ago. I am a 49 yr old male. I was exhausted after my eval I needed a nap. A 20 page questionnaire followed by a 2 hour interview. How far do you let them in? Hard cracking that door open an inch and not letting it burst open. Funny note. I was handed a piece of paper that had the outline of an obese person on it. Around the out edge were ailments related to be overweight. After stating which Ailments i have " at my current weight". I was then ask which of the others am I concerned about getting if I do not lose weight. Having had enough of this eval I looked over the list and said, I pretty much have the four worse on the list and attempted to hand the sheet back to the good doctor. He said surely there is something I was concerned about getting if I didn't lose the weight. I looked again and stated polycystic ovarian disease. I look up and he is writing that in my chart. I start laughing out loud and he looks up at me, makes a face and scratches out my reply. Funny ****. Not that PCOS us funny but I was done. 10 minutes later its all over. 10 minutes after that he returns with his eval and my approval. YEAH!!! I then stated. It was a little tense in there. Ya gotta cut loose now and then and walked away a happy man. Ive got 2-3 more hoops to jump through and hoping for a mid December surgery date.

Wow, Great job.

Add to my list to never use my cpap device again.
