Well, it appears that any Protein that has ANY sugar in it, goes right through me... Spoke with the nutritionist and they moved me to pureed so that I can start taking my protein via food. My blood pressure is down low and I have no energy because I was only drinking Water, sf popcicles, and cream soup.. YIPPEE now I can have anything that is mashable EXCEPT meat, bread, and pasta...

Oh and Sonic sells a Sunrise Smoothie... it is NOT ON THEIR MENU but they do make it.... strawberry, banana, a splash of orange juice and a scoop of their "ice cream" which is actually ice milk... YUMMMIEEE! and here is the nutritional info... a little high in calories BUT VERY high in protein and that's exactly what I needed right now... http://calorielab.com/restaurants/so...oothie/14/2046

It will get better, believe me. I am 2 weeks post-op today and I just got back from walking to the homecoming parade...1.7 miles round trip. I think within a week, you will be feeling a lot better!! Congratulations. :)

I was sleeved on the 17th. Really thought I was doing well. Last three-day I sleep a lot and have gotten behind on my Water. Not having pain, but burning if I bend the wrong way. liquids really getting old. Anyone else have these problems or am I worrying too much?

I was sleeved on the 17th too... Are u taking your Proteins and your Vitamins? ? And dont slow down on yr liquids or you might get dehydrated... Dont worry our bodies are just reacting to the loss of more than half of a major organ...just keep a track of your fluids n proteins and u will feel better...i am taking my Multivitamins religiously and it works wonders...cheers !!!

Sitting here waiting to go home after 2 nights in the hospital. Pretty rough. Hopefully this was all worth it.

just wanted to reach out to u and tell u it will get better. this is temporary- when u graduate to soft mushies- it gets better fast. do EXCTLY what u r supposed to- do nit get dehydrated. For the next two weeks- getting ur fluids and Protein in are a full time job. hang in there- its soooo worth it- 4 mos here- 70 lbs.

I had the sleeve doneon Monday Sept 17th--had alot of pain (more than I had anticipated) but today - 5 days post op' date=' I finally am feeling better-showered, hair washed and styled and mascara on! Off for a short walk and then spending the morning on the porch reading and enjoying the beautiful fall day!!

My question is: How many of your surgeons/doctor groups called you at home post op?? Mine has not, and I am kind of pissed about it!

Mine called 2 days after then the following week. Also the hospital bariatric nurse called to check on me and also mailed me a get well card. I was very surprised

My surgeon n NUT gave me their cell numbers ....that was pleasantly surprising!! But i guess most surgeons in India do that....what was even more surprising is that they actually reply texts :P not immediately but they do....:) :)

1st night at home and pretty rough. Very hard to find a comfortable way to lay down. The hospital beds weren't the best so have bad back ache to go along with the pain in the front. Stomach is going crazy so going to call the Dr for Prilosec and anything else he can give me to help out.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
