StephBradlee got a reaction from becomingmandikaye in First puréed food
Today was my first puréed food. I chose a poached egg in part because I love them and also because it's a super soft food to begin with. First spoonful was good. The second, a little rough. I got through it. It was more than enough food for the first meal. Baby steps.

StephBradlee got a reaction from tbrick512 in Average wait time to get sleeve?
My insurance (Aetna) in NJ required 6 mos of monitored nutritionist and doctor visits, ultrasound, upper endoscopy, psych eval, and primary care clearance. I started in January. I go for my sleeve Friday morning.

StephBradlee got a reaction from Sugary Sweetheart in Two week liquid diet
I have the low energy too. Honestly, I've been grumpy too a bit. It may be all in my head.

StephBradlee got a reaction from Christinamo7 in What Was Your Final "straw That Broke The Camels Back"
Everything hurts all the time. My joints, my back, and my feet ache on the daily. Between sleep apnea and GERD I am afraid the next malady will be a heart attack or something else related to my poor physical condition. I'm afraid to die and leave my family alone to grieve over a stupid death that might have been avoided with better health. I only get this one life. I don't want to miss any of it.

StephBradlee got a reaction from Slimliz in Sleeve scheduled for 6/17
Here we go. Protein diet underway. I feel like the last 6 months of insurance hoops has flown by compared to now. I'm nervous, but I'm ready and am so happy to have a place to ask questions and read about others just like me.

StephBradlee got a reaction from hartless 71 in Having surgery June 8
My surgeon didn't make it sound like he wouldn't do it if my liver wasn't "shrunk" enough. He just explained that the bigger it is the more in the way it can be and might possibly be more prone to injury when they try to keep it out of their way with the surgical instruments during the procedure.
