DivineRN reacted to AmyQwith2 in New Jersey Sleevers?
Hi everyone! I'm in central Jersey too! Did anyone have experience with Dr. Sowemimo or at CentraState? Still waiting on insurance approval, but I'm tentatively scheduled for March 7th...

DivineRN got a reaction from NoMoreWeightNJ in New Jersey Sleevers?
@@NoMoreWeightNJ I'm so happy that stage us over. I'm doing much better now that I'm eating food again. I'm able to get anywhere from 85 to 100 in Protein. Water is a whole different beast.

DivineRN reacted to Sgt7546 in When is solid proteins OK
I was sleeved the same day as you. Last week I was released to soft foods. Since then I've had chicken breast, streak, burger, and eggs. Each of those have been about one ounce at a time, chewed to oblivion, and tolerated well. My NUT confided that if you chew something enough it becomes puréed.

DivineRN reacted to Pablo52 in When is solid proteins OK
Thank you for your concern but I was asking for a "realistic" time frame from other sleeve patients on being released to solid foods. There are many other bariatric programs that allow solid foods sooner than mine.
I don't appreciate being called "foolish" or "dumb" concerning a question about my procedure.
My question was pretty specific to tearing the staple line, and I was asking for you to question my long term success. If my doctor had me following the MIST program manual then I would have not been released back into the gym as early as I was. Just trying to get input from others that have gone through the same procedure.
I'm a former competitive power lifter and college athlete my body is used to receiving 200-300 grams of Protein a day. As I stated in my original post " I don't feel like my body is receiving the fuel "protein" it needs for my activity level. It has nothing to do with cravings but more to do with increasing my Protein level.
