Omaha, Nebraska!

I would take at least 3 weeks. You are going to be tired.

One month as of the 28th.

Very tired. Added b complex Vitamin to get to help with it. Not even close on Protein goals. Kinda Water. Down about 25 pounds. Isn't it weird to just eat a few bites and be full? Message me if you like. I would love to have buddies to chat with.

Cc gets Az.

I'm in Nebraska too! Surgery the 28th of April.

Bi polar here. Just got sleeved. Pm if you want.

From Nebraska! Sleeved on April 28th. Good luck Neighboor!

I had it and got approved with no problems. No monthly visits to PCP's or anything. Just wondering anyone else's experience.

Good luck! Mine went very fast. All most to fast.

Oh and I might add I didn't do the pre op diet liquid diet. I did just find and still lost 10 pounds.

I can tell that this is going to be one of those polarizing posts where there are basically two very opposie responses. One is the "How could you?" response and the other is "What's the big deal?" response.

My one warning to newbies is that on this forum, opinions and tact will vary. Both sides are worth hearing out.

We "how could you" people are occassionally called 'goody two shoes' for following our plan as close as possible, banking on our bariatric team's expertise amd experience with many thousands of patients per year.

For the "what's the big deal" people, it is easy to find converts because it is human nature, plain and simple, to not want to deny our mouths of the tastes and textures and volume that it is used to.

There is generally no middle ground. To those who take the chance on going for it, you must be a gambler, hoping against hope that nothing bad is going to happen to you, just like tornado chasers, and teenagers who jump off the roof onto mattresses.

To the original poster, nugirl 402, I hope you will consider that if you are straying from your plan and inventing your own, that you eventually may have to backtrack and start over. It happens.

Nevertheless, you should participate in the forum as often as possible. There is a lot of valuable information here, from both sides of the fence. Your body - your choice.

I appreciate all the feedback. I knew it wouldn't be popular. But like you said my body my choice. I just might be one of the rare ones. I don't believe I'm doing anything wrong and my body so far agrees. Thanks all!

Thanks all. I think my process might have been to simple. No insurance problems. Everything done in 6 weeks. No out of pocket, no work worries. I'm not sure I totally thought this out. I'm watching for rejection signs and will be very careful. But maybe there are some of us who can do more than others?

Surgery the 28th so 5 days post op and I was hungry till I added Greek yogurt and soft egg. Can't deal/handle just Protein Shakes. Maybe try that with doc approval.

Hey! Had surgery On 4/28 with no real issues. Have the premier shakes and they are too strong and taste gross. Trying to do at least 1 a day but have been leaning to Greek yogurt. Took my time, no problems. This morning had 1 scrambled egg and a piece of well chewed bacon. Took 15 minutes to eat it. Feel so much better that I'm eating real food. Anyone else not tolerate the liquid stage? I wanna be successful but can't be miserable the whole time.

If I can take Greek yogurt can I do s soft scrambled egg? I can't do these Protein Shakes all day. Not having any problems keeping applesauce down either.

I had surgery that day too! Haven't met Protein goals yet. Can't stand the Protein Shakes, so added Greek yogurt and that's helping. Good luck!
