I went to Sprouts market today and found an entire aisle of protein bars. I was able to find 3 that had no tree nuts and fit the sugar limitation. Power crunch (2 flavors) And One birthday cake flavor. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 199 GW 135

May 15th, 2017 Sleevers Check in Here!!!
Missy161 replied to Newme17's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Weigh vs measure... I was under the impression that we should just measure out 2 ounces of food by volume in the little medicine cups not weight- is that accurate? I thought it was the size that mattered . ?? Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 199 GW 135 -
Sleeved Yesterday 7/19 - having trouble!!
Missy161 replied to Kyle Lukas's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm so sorry you are feeling so crummy! Try a cool rag and less clothing. Rest and take your pain meds. You should take your temp and call your dr if you have any fever or if you don't feel better tomorrow. Be your own advocate! I think they should keep sleeve patients in the hospital a few days- I had 3 and it was perfect. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 199 GW 135 -
Can some of you tell me how much the total bill was on your surgery. I want to hear feed back from you all not a doctors office.
Missy161 replied to Animal Lover's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had zero out of pocket. I don't know what the bills would have been. I have amazing insurance. Care first blue cross blue shield out of state. It's out of Maryland Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 199 GW 135 -

Swallowing vitamins
Missy161 replied to chamilton0323's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I take 3 capsules a day- it was the first thing they had me swallow. I threw up the first one but since then no problem. I got chewable vitamins. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 199 GW 135 -

Do you all get your protein in? It has been hard for me but when I get enough protein and my vitamins I have more energy than when I don't . I got some vitamin water today at Safeway. 15 g of protein in 16 ounces. And it tastes great. It's on sale his week 3 for $5. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 199 GW 135

Same for me. I'm still wearing my size 16 clothes but they aren't as snug as before. I've lost 24 pounds but didn't really notice it except for under my breasts, like where my liver is. Other people have noticed. I think another 10-20 pounds and I'll really feel it....I hope! The weight isn't flying off like I thought it would but I think that's good. Healthier on the body and since I didn't tell many people about the surgery it will seem more natural. It also says a lot for how overweight I was... don't notice 24 pounds ... on a normal weight person that would be very drastic. What I have noticed is the increased energy! I'll take that!

24 weeks pregnant and losing weight.
Missy161 replied to Livi_sleeved's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
This has got to be so hard for you. Pre sleeve I got pregnant with my first daughter after losing just 15 pounds. By the time I delivered I weighed less than when I got pregnant- I gained just 13 pounds and had a 9 pound 2 ounce baby. Listen to your doc, but they will live off the fat of the land so to speak. Do your best to get all of your calories and protein in. Take your vitamins. Drink plenty of water and don't worry. Easier said than done, I know. Maybe your nutritionist can give you some more suggestions on higher impact foods for the baby's development - supplements etc. I'll be praying for a healthy development and peace of mind for you.
