    Swallowing

    Sorry can't help with that, my only swallowing issue was sore throat from vent.

    Anyone From Ga?

    Great! Another guy. I like your username. We had surgery a few days apart. How are you doing and what type of post op diet are you on? I went straight to puréed and if all goes well I will get to go to soft foods in about a week and a half.

    Anyone From Ga?

    Northwest GA, had my surgery on 1/22/2014. Not nearly as bad as I was anticipating. Reading on the internet is one of the worst things I have found to do. I haven't had any of the problems/issues I have read about. Recovery has been smooth, and if I didn't have heavy lifting at work I would be back already.
  4. That is great Larry! I am a couple of weeks behind you. Is that just from surgery/diet so far? Are you doing any cardio yet? Thanks for the inspiration, Paul

    BCBSTX

    I'm not with TX, but am with BCBS. It was very easy and uneventful getting approved. My approval letter actually came a couple of days before my date. My team saw no problem with it and had dealt with them before. Paul

    Pre op diet

    I had a little caffeine withdrawal on my two week liquids. It lasted a couple of days.

    Pre op diet

    That was my experience also. Fatigue and grumpiness.

    Pre op diet

    All I got was shakes for two weeks. They did allow four "meal tickets", but I only used one and it was disappointing.

    That really is encouraging Deena, I get all the protein Cala called for and 40-50 ounces of water right now. I was really impressed with the experience so far.

    That is great to hear Deena! It's only been five days for me but I am feeling pretty good. Any suggestions getting through this month?

    I am in Adairsville (exit 306 on I75). Dr Scott did my sleeve surgery at Floyd hospital on 1/22/2014.

    Any February 2014 Sleevers?

    Oh yeah! The shakes were not that bad with all the other stuff on my mind...... I got Choc and Strawberry, was never hungry on them, they taste ok actually, I was only able to drink 5 on one day (I drank 4 a day and was NOT hungry), they are foamy really foamy put a bit of water to replace some of the skim milk to make it easier to drink. Those recommendations came from Dr Scott's office. You will do great Tia, I trust the folks that are taking care of you entirely, heck I even trust them with my life.......and I did. I was treated so well throughout the whole process at Floyd from admitting to discharge. I was apprehensive having worked in a hospital for twelve years (16 years ago) and had never been "put under". My experience exceeded all of my expectations. Don't worry, those folks are pros! Holler if ya need anything. Paul

    calcium citrate

    I bought three favors of the Bariatric Advantage chews. Caramel, Lemon and chocolate Peanutbutter. I actually like the lemon and caramel. I have an almost whole bag of the choc pb to get rid of. That is the only one I didn't like. I also have the BA preop chewable Vitamins. Don't care for the flavor. I will be looking into other Multivitamins when I use these up.
