  1. I give my kids a homeopathic by hylands. Dissolves under your tongue n all matural. That and saline flush
  2. Id like to join. Sleeved 10/7 SW 258 CW 245 GW 220
  3. Had my surgery tuesday by friday I felt great. The trickiest part is the driving redtriction and not lifting more than 10 lbs
  4. I was sleeved 6 days ago n on Saturday I was so sad n depressed. I cried and felt so much regret. Once I vented to my husband I felt better and it did pass the next day but it was crazy for a moment
  5. Im 1 week out. First few dsys I felt no hunger. My doc had me on clears dsy 1-3 then clears and protein 4-6. About day 5 I started feeling hungry. I started craving everything. Im looking forward to tomorrow when I get full liquids for a week. Then purees for a week after that we move to soft foods for a week and finally 36 days post op I get to eat normal foods but only 1 new food a day. Im also taking the protonix every morning n something else for nausea. As of now I dont even feel slerved..no restriction or anything
  6. Also if your sick of plain broth I bought a bunvh of ramen n just mixed the season packet with 8oz water. Delish n a mice variety. Bonus is my 3 year old loves butter noodles. 20 cent lunch for 2
  7. I was on clear luqids day 1-3 post op n started clears n protien on day 4. Day 7 is when I move to full liquids but I have to still do the 3 proteins a day
  8. Gnc has really good protein options . They have 1 that is 60 grams mixed with 12 oz split it 3 ways n your covered for the day
  9. I also had my surgery oct 7. I dont start full liquids until tomorrow. However my nutrionist recomended we buy protein powder. Must be 20 grams per scoop. Then we mix it in only 4 oz skim milk. This give 24 grams of protein in 4oz. Easier to get down then yogurt. I also add a bit of cinnamon to my choc shake. Cuts the protein flavor. Right now im able to get 72 grams a day
  10. I was just sleeved by Dr Roberts tuesday. I had surgery in Livonia. He was great and I feel great. Im already off pain meds.
  11. Im 6 days post op n went to urgent care today. I have strep throat. He gave me a shot in the office and a zpac for home. Is it safe to take antibiotics after being sleeved
  12. My dr said your body wont absorb more than 30g of protein at once so you may want to splut that morning shake in 2
  13. Skinnygirl products offer squeeze in flavoring with stevia. Vitamin water zero also and now yogurt comes with stevia. Its a start
  14. I was sleeved Tuesday also. Felt great and came home Thursday and barely using the pain meds. So far no nausea. But the back of the roof of my mouth is soooo sore. That started saturday and also my left side started aching. Pre op I used premade protein shakes. But now on the powder and can't find anything I like. Whats every one using. Looking forward to full liquids in 2 more days
  15. How far out post op should you be before adding peanut butter to protein shakes.
  16. Did you aoppeal the insurnce company? I was denied also when I applied because I didnt do the 6 month monitoring but I appealed it and was approved 2 weeks later. Just had to type a letter
  17. Thanks for all the responses. Its nice to have so much support
  18. So I just got home from being dlweved. Stepped on the scale and im 12 lbs heavier than I wad when I went in. Anyone else have this happen. Im so bummed
  19. I did an 8 day preop diet. Lost 11 lbs. Just sleeved 12hpurs ago. Feeling pretty good
  20. My surgery is tomorrow. Waiting for the hospital to give me my arrival time. Its making for a very anxious day. I only had to to do a low cal diet for 5 days n then clear liquids for 3 but im down 8 lbs. I was really surprised at how easy the liquid phase is. I expected to be much hungrier.
