Sleeve surgery 1/15/14
Every doctor is different. On my plan I was allowed vanilla Greek yogurt, or plain, but nothing with fruit in it. Oatmeal was not allowed until post surgery in the pureed stage. Did you not get any paperwork from your doc or the NUT outlining the pre op diet?

I hope this gets easier
I was on full liquids as soon as I got home and pudding was allowed. You should check your instructions first, though.

Boogie size
While walking the halls after surgery I saw my surgeon sitting at a computer and asked him what size he used. He replied "the perfect size". I then started guessing and it turned out to be 38.

What kind of drains to expect?
I had a catheter, but no drains.

Protein
I'm wondering how to get enough calories in. I started pureed foods today and so far have had 3/4 of a scrambled egg and 1/2 C. of Protein pudding. Add in my Isopure and that is only 310 calories, 60g. of protein. I plan on some thinned out refried Beans with a little cheese for dinner, but I am pretty sure I won't get in very much before I am stuffed.

Insurance and deductible payment
When I had my surgery I had met all my deductible and out of pocket for the year. I had to pay a $250 co-pay when I pre registered. So far, I have not received any related bills or EOBs in the mail.

I'm having trouble getting a protein source I like. HELP! !
I bought those too. I tried the apple one today and I am feeling really nauseous now. The after taste to me is getting me. Today I a had peach mango flavor mixed with some Water and a Crystal Light Peach Iced Tea single serve packet. Makes it taste much better.

Are you COLD?
Not me. It was in the 30s last night and I slept with the window open a bit, a sleeveless nightgown, and one blanket.

Silly Question, How many times do you wear pants before washing?
Several times or until I spill something on them.

Another poop question
It hasn't bothered me. I discovered that eating pea Soup for dinner makes for a poop explosion the next morning. No straining required!

How bad is the nausea?
I never had any nausea.

Blegh to water
Oh hey, if you like pudding, check out my high protein pudding recipes. We've had pistachio, butterscotch, lemon, Peanut Butter, and chocolate ones every night since we first made those. So. Yummy! I just made some chocolate pudding with a sample packet of Syntrax Chocolate Truffle Protein powder. It is still chilling.

Blegh to water
I think the whole reason is the doggie doo breath caused by the high Protein and negligible carbs. It makes everything taste icky. Except for Dulce de Leche pudding, of course.

Protein Shake Pre Op Diet
It took a few days, but yes, it came back off. It is all the IV fluids they give you.
