African American Sleevers

[dezz777 17]

I have my last visit with my dietician on 9/5. Then on to submitting to the insurance company. Any suggestions on any thing I can prep for in advance? IE Vitamins, Protein Shake info. Also has anyone juiced with the sleeve?

Where do you find them. What do they taste like?

I am having the sleeve surgery Aug 21. Very nervous. How long will it take me to heal and return back to work, and what's the best protien shake to buy and where?

Your question relative to how long it will take to recover varies from person to person. I was sleeved on July 29th- I returned to work half days two weeks afterwards. My work does not require anything physical. It's the sitting all day that I was afraid of. Didn't want to risk blood clots. I have tried numerous Proteins. My favorite right now is Chike, I've tried the Unjury but couldn't handle the after taste. I also like Opifast it comes already mixed just refrigerate and drink. This week I've bought this local deli Soup chicken tortito and potato soup drained chunks out before eating, loved it, consumed 1/3 cup per meal. I drink crystal light in every water bottle. I hope this helps. Keep the faith and follow your doctor's orders. Keep in touch!

I would suggest initially to stock-up in sugar-free Popsicles, chicken broth, sugar-free Jello, pudding. Those are the things that helped to keep me hydrated during the 1st week post-op.

Has anyone used the Gastric binder? I saw it on one of the Bariatrics online stores. I'm just curious.

OMG!!! I tried that Protein shot too and I wanted to throw up!! I only drank a cap full. Disgusting!

I like the watermelon flavor protein shot. I mix it with Vitamin Water and drink it like that. I heard some people mix it with crystal light also.

[yellowbox 55]

I'll have to give it a try.

The shot is nasty but it was mind over matter for me. Its worth the sacrifice in order to get my Protein in.
