Don't worry, I had that same issue for 2 weeks after and what my Nutritionist and PA told me was to drink my liquids at room temp. That was what I did and it helped alot. I moved very slow through the food phases as my sleeve was swollen for a good three weeks. Go slow, sip sip sip and try room temp liquids. I am now 6 months out and I still have some issues with cold drinks. I hope this helps. Good luck and let us know how you are doing.

I have Kashi Go Lean GO Vanilla Graham Clusters Blue box, 1cup is 11g of Protein, 9g of fiber, which helps a lot with the Constipation issues. I love it every morning with a half a banana. Total protein with the milk is 19 grams of protein.

I received my delivery and then had to sign some form and I am very happy with the shipment. So happy to get this paid for?

I had this same experience in the dressing room, I cried my eyes out. I went from a 22/24 to a size 16 also and did not believe it. In my head I still was thinking I was bigger. My husband took me out to buy new clothes and I was so reluctant and afraid to try anything on, he could not understand my anguish. It was a weird feeling how upset I was and afraid of what size to try. So that night I bought 1 pair of pants from a store I have never been in before. I was shocked to be in a size 16, but one week later they were to big and I am now in a size 14. Oh happy days. Good luck to you and all of us on this journey.

Me too.....and I don't like it and it freaks me out.

I have cvs Caremark too can you tell me what info you plugged into the online app? I have to call them back tmw they need more info, I'm sure I put in the wrong numbers.

Yahoo!!! I was approved for the shakes, Vitamins and the cream. The process was very quick, maybe 10 days from application to a call that I am approved. I have CVS/Caremark for insurance. I can't believe I didn't do this months ago. Oh well, you can only do what you know. Good luck to all, everything went very smoothly.

Awesome :-)

I just put in a request with a company called Insure Nutrition. They contact your doctor for a prescription for ready to drink Protein and then if you have insurance they submit it for you. No charge. I filled out the form online and picked my shake flavors and then they called me to tell me the doctor has been contacted and they will get the oder going after they get insurance clearance. I will let you know how this progresses.

I am getting sleeved tomorrow also but my time is 1:20 that stinks. I have all morning to think about it. My husband is a wreck also, I guess we should be honored our guys love and worry about us. Good luck my friend. See you on the other side. Bring it on.

My surgery is tomorrow and I am so nervous! I have to be at the hospital at 5:45! Holy cow, I only have 6 hours to drink anything! Ahh! I'm excited but my husband has been saying things like "you better make it through this" and "Please don't die" He is really freaking me out! I told him he is suppose to be the support system here! I've got my dishes and laundry done, childcare set up, bills paid, cashiers check in my purse, groceries in the house, and my bags packed. I just hope I'm not forgetting anything! Does anyone have any advice for a scared soon to be post op? Did anyone else have doubts the night before? I saw a cookie in the kitchen and thought that if I ate it I wouldn't have to get an IV in a few hours, lol.

Good Luck Boston Sleevers. I go for my pre-op testing tomorrow. I think the worst part will be getting through the Boston rush hour traffic.

I am going to BWH, on Halloween, hopefully the staff don't dress up or I will really be hallucinating from the medicines or the staff.

I have been taking this for months and it has helped me lose weight as well as keep my A1C in the perfect range. I have never told my doctors that I take this and why my diabetes is under control but I think it is the Green coffee extract. I will not be using it after I am sleeved, I started my pre-op diet yesterday and I am finding I am having sugar lows because of the coffee extract. My husband is going to take the ones I have already purchased, as not to waste them they are expensive.

My surgery is in Boston on Halloween Can't wait
