Hi everyone, I was sleeved on the 17th and I am in the heavy liquid phase - jason's deli and quizno's broc cheese Soup has helped as a serving is about 9 grams of Protein - I liquify it and then add a scoop of the unflavored Unjury protein so I get about 30 gr of protein - I know it has fat but right now I am just worried about my protein...also bought all kinds of sugar free puddings - bannna creme,choc,vanilla,pastachio,lemon and making it with skim milk and adding unflavored protein to it and getting about 10 gr of portein that way too....unjury choc and vanilla shakes are tasty too. good luck anyone andy other ideas during the heavy stage would be appreciated. anyone found any sugar free yogurts?

Hi folks,

Got sleeved July 1st. Down 37 lbs. First week is hard but it gets better. I had my two smallest incisions open up after I removed the stitches. This has been the hardest part. Just made the healing time longer which means no swimming and I've really been looking forward to that. Now one is infected and I'm on antibiotics. Still with all that I'm feeling good, on soft foods and losing weight.

I was sleeved on 7/11 and since the 5th day post-op I havent had a problem getting my shakes down. Also' date=' just started yesterday on my soft/pureed foods and seem to be able to eat more than I thought. I made eggs last night and ate about 1/2 cup. Today I had cottage cheese and was almost able to finish one of those small single servings. I don't get sick, I just feel full and stop. I am worried that it's too much???? I thought it would be harder than this. Should I be concerned???[/quote']

I was sleeved on 7/12/13 and I eating with not getting sick, i think is normal, continue to eat what your doctor recommends. Good Luck

I had my surgery July 18th! I'm in the 2nd phase of my diet. The cream of whatever Soups are messing up my already messed up gi tract! I started taking lactaid with my 1st bite and has decreased the trips to the bathroom by half :/ anyone else having this issue? Reading the posts on here about returning to work is a little scary bc I have to stand for atleast 6-8 hours straight...

I was sleeved on July 24. I had no pain other than the gas pains. Per my doctors instructions, I started my full liquid diet today. My only complaint is that I have had diarrhea ever since my surgery. I do my one week follow up and get my staples out on Thursday. I am not highly concerned about my BMs other than I am still pushing to get 48 oz of fluids a day.

Congratulations and good luck to all!!

Dear July Sleevers' date='

Are Protein shakes part of the 64 ounces? Or do we not include them in the total goal of 64 ounces?

I was sleeved on Thursday (July 25) and am now four days out (wow, can't believe it, so surreal).

Thanks in advance for your insight![/quote']

My doc said to include Protein shakes/drinks in the daily total.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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
