sunkissed replied to CurvyCakes's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It varies with insurance, I have Avmed and they didn't require a 6 month diet, only the letter of necessity from my primary and the nutrition/psych letters. -
Try grits, maybe your tummy just needs to be introduced to it slowly. Just an idea.

I had my sleeve with Dr. Jacobs also, he is amazing!!! I really did not any any pain whatsoever only mild gas discomfort after surgery, when I woke up the following day I didn't feel any type of discomfort. Great experience. Good luck on your journey!

I'm only 9 days out, today I went to Panera bread and had a French onion Soup, I didn't eat the Bread or the onions in it, I took my time and it went down pretty well. I haven't had anything stuck or spicy foods but I'm really early in my process. Good luck to you! N go out have some soup! Haha

Are there any alternatives to protein shakes?
sunkissed replied to sunkissed's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I don't get many cold days down here in Miami, but it sounds delicious! Haha, I did stop the protein shakes, I will resume again on my puréed stage by blending chicken in my meals, thank you for the tip! -

4 months is early on too, but hey the important thing is that you're doing it! I think at the beginning the weight comes off on its own easily, once you reach your plateau then it's important to add a lite extra. I will def take it easy

This is weird for me because I used to like protein shakes before and now I even gag. Hopefully in a few weeks I can introduce healthy smoothies. -
Tachycardia, anyone experienced this?
sunkissed replied to sunkissed's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have been taking those meds for a year, but I figured it out, it was me putting sugar in my plain yogurt lol something as small as that makes a difference -
I'm 5 days post- op, I have my first visit with my doctor in 2 days, I'm still on Blood pressure meds. I have experienced some tachycardia and my blood pressure it's still high even if I take my meds. Do any of you know if this is normal?

sunkissed replied to fancypants67's topic in Insurance & Financing
Each additional BMI point is only 5 pounds, gain 10 pounds and that's it you'll get to the BMI you need. -

You are a trooper! Today I had a zip of a protein shake and started to gag!! I did see my doctor this afternoon and he told me that next week when I start my purée phase to blend chicken or fish with my purée so I can get protein that way -

Thank you all for the ideas. I saw my doctor today he told me not to worry about protein until next week, that is when I start my puréed diet. I will be blending a lot of chicken and fish! Lol -
