Hello! I also have BCBS Federal and I asked the bariatric coordinator which weight they send in and they told me that they only weight they send to insurance is my weight at my initial consultation. Do you know if that's correct? What was your experience with this? Sadly, I do not have much confidence in these people [emoji20]
I am right over 40 BMI. At my nutrition assesment I was right at 39.9 BMI (she made me take my shoes off of course...). I start the 3 month diet next week.

Yes they send your weight from your first appointment. I also had Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal and I didn't think I was going to get approved because my BMI was too low but I had the lap band and I had it removed because it slipped in 2016. I wanted to get the revision sooner but I didn't think I was a candidate because of my weight but it was approved it took over a week I didn't know until the day before my surgery but thank God it was approved

The first 3 days that I came home after I got my sleeve I had severe dry mouth and blurry vision. Well the only thing that I could think of that it would be is my nausea patch so I pulled the patch off and within the day it got better I still have dissolvable nausea pills just in case but I haven't needed them thank God

I was sleeved on April 25 and I came home on full liquid diet... including shakes, Soups, etc.

That's good to know I thought that maybe the shakes for too much but if I could take those along to my trip that would be perfect

Hi Mamalala! After 1 week post op you should be able to transition to a full liquid diet, which includes creamy strained Soups, sugar free/light yogurt, and Protein Shakes.
Premier Protein is by far the best tasting Protein on the market and has the highest Protein content with the least amount of calories.
I would definitely check with your doctor's office to make sure this is ok, since everyone's post op needs/instructions vary from person to person.

Thank you so much

Bet you'll take a temporary break when all that Fluid comes out the other end. Seriously if it were me I'd try one of the clear fruit tasting ones from Syntrex or Premier Protein, if you do okay there then try something heavier like a P P shake.< /div>

I have Isopure but they are gross. I guess I'll just have to take my bag of liquids and broths with me. I won't try a Protein Shake until I'm home just in case if I need to run to the toilet I haven't went since I've been sleeved[emoji31] [emoji31]

I forgot to ask how do you know when to stop drinking fluids. I have no restriction and have more than enough broth during the day

Okay I was sleeved April 26th and I've been on a clear liquid diet but on May 4th through May 6th I will be on vacation in Laughlin so I was wondering if anyone thinks that it's too soon to have a Protein Shake because that's the easiest choice to make especially since we will be on the go all weekend.
