was sleeved March 7th. I feel like I'm doing well. My eye sight is blurry. My incisions do burn. Gas is still working its way out. I too am a big Water drinker so its hard to just sip. I gained 10 pounds since surgery. I am going to stay off the scale till my next dr.s appoint. It is not a good feeling to step on the scale and see that gain. But I know its just the way it is.

What is unjury broth that everyone is talking about.

I bought the Unjury Protein broth stuff and I can't eat it!! Just the smell made me want to vomit!! I'm not sure if that's what everyone else is talking about....

I cant handle my Protein powder! It smells so nasty to me. I also need a ready to drink one because the blender adds so much bubble to it. Idk which one to get.

I buy the premixed premiere Protein from costco. It's worked for me!

I was sleeved on Thursday, they had trouble finding a vein to put the IV cannula into so I was punctured three times in the left arm before surgery and woke up with an IV cannula in my right arm but I also had a bruise near that cannula so I know they tried and failed to insert one there as well. I've also had 4 blood test done due to getting cellulitis in my left hand so I was prescribed antibiotics to help with the inflammation. I've also been given potassium given to me which really hurt going in besides that I've also been given anti nausea medication, anti reflux medication

However, on the upside I've been sleeping well had little to no gas pain and well being going home tomorrow

I drink the protien shots. They are a bit to sweet but I work it out. I am so bloated with this gas. I just want to get through this week. Who said they lost 35 pounds already. WOW. I want that to be me. I lost 8 in the week pre op diet but I gained 10 during the stay at the hopital.

Where do I find this powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury broth. Does it have protien is that why it good to drink it?

It hurts to sit stand and lay down too. I found a position and took a 2 hour nap. I can't wait to feel better.

I had my surgery on the 5th and the Isopure Protein Drinks have been a lifesaver! I'm still working on hitting the minimum Fluid and Protein intake. I need at leat 40 grams of protein and 42oz of fluids. This is harder than I thought it would be but I'm going to do it!

Sleeved on Monday, the gas pains are getting better, although the minute I take a sip of Water they start, only with water. I can drink tea and broth. I'm seriously thinking about jumping ahead to some creme soap. I can't so tired of the tea, water, broth. I don't like most favored stuff so popcisles or Jello aren't an option. My diet says clear foods for day 1-7 but reading here, tree seems to be some latitude depending on different doctors. I haven't been able to get pass 36-40 oz a day yet.. Amazingly enough I had a small bowel movement this morning. Who'd thought I'd get so excited over something like that.. I guess I needed visible proof that everything is functioning as its supposed to be.

I had my sleeve on the 6th and all went well, not to bad on the pain but the gas has been terrible. I have had 3 watery bowel movement which have made me very careful, I to have learned to never trust a fart. I have been having a hard time getting my protien and Water but I think that with time and research we will all get very creative. Good luck to all!!

      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!
