Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Pretty sure I f***ed up the sleeve. No leak, but I might as well have never gotten it.



Recommended Posts

I am going to give you some easy quick foods that can be purchased to fill you up and I am inviting everyone else to add to that list. Beef Jerky cheese Stick Hard boiled eggs (You can buy these preboiled at the grocery store) Summer sausage tuna chicken salad almonds Premier Protein shakes SF Jello (not in the shot form :)) rotisserie chicken' date=' fish from the deli Subway chopped salad greek yogurt fruit melons and berries These are just a few but I hope others will add to this list. :)[/quote']

To add to the list:

Protein Bars (Quest bars and Oh Yeah bars are really good),

Pre-cooked shrimp, (or shrimp cocktail)

Deli turkey, ham, chicken,

Turkey franks,

Canned turkey chili (Hormels is good, but so is Wendy's),

Babybell cheese,

100 calorie packs of Emerald almonds - they have cocoa, vanilla and cinnamon coated.

All of these you can do without really cooking. A ready to drink Protein shake is a great Breakfast - Premier Protein, Muscle Milk (look for the highest Protein and lowest sugar/carbs. For one you mix - there are many and you can add protein by mixing with skim milk or even boosting the protein with powdered fat free milk.

Best of luck to you!!

That's a great attitude. Surely you won't be reaching out for help and expecting any.....oh wait.

Encouragement works better than criticism. At least he is reaching out for help. I want to say, "hang in there." You can do this. Take one day at a time. Make positive affirmations to yourself often; "I LOVE ME; I AM GREAT; I WILL SUCCEED!" I know you are a wonderful person, and have been doing great so far. I have gone through bumpy times after this surgery, and that includes eating too many things I know I should not eat, or maybe just having literally one sip of a drink, and could not drive home. Thank God we have this community for "support and encouragement."

Firstst of all I didn't say I read the first couple I saidv several and since you are so interested in everything I post ill tell u I read most of the first... It seemed know seems like a hundred posts. I don't know why you have picked me to start stalkingng today.. but please leave me alone. And if you had read the first page of posts. Your oppinion would probably be the same. Or maybe its because you know him personally.you can't post the stuff he posted and not get a response from those of us who are recently sleeved and working our asses off. Stop following me.

Because you just got sleeved you can run around here and spout bullshit?? As far as "working your ass off" perhaps you should get up and walk it around once in awhile, it might help...

And stalking you?

Please... Don't flatter yourself.

I assume you're a guy so I feel comfortable saying quit being a f**king b***h. Man up and focus on what is important in life. f**k college parties and drinking beer. Why'd you bother throwing cash and time away just to eatballvthe same **** you were?

I only read the first several posts and seriosly... you are an a** who doesn't deserve this gift. Get your head out of your a**! I'm sure someone at some point told you this was a tool and not a cure all. Sounds like instead of taking advantage of your tool you are being one.

A match made in heaven, you two. ;)

Sorry to go back to the original topic here, but beyond all of the other advice here.

If you are complaining about having to eat the cheap food, stop buying the alcohol and spend that cash to buy better quality food. It doesn't have to cost a lot to eat good, it takes thought and will power to make good decisions, like not buying bad things like Cereal and alcohol.

So Laura you're saying you can (right now) physically eat a box of cereal? See I thought the whole point of the sleeve was for you to NOT be able to do that!

Unfortunately for me' date=' Im living by myself so I dont have a husband (or in this case..a wife or s/o) that can cook me food :P[/quote']

Sliders... Sliders are food that are so mushed that they are almost like liquid and leave the stomach fast... ( put two cups of popcorn and two Tbs of Water in a processor and see how small you can make it.). "I thought the sleeve...". NO!! You can beat the sleeve and by doing so beat yourself. The sleeve is NOT magical and automatic. You have to work at it, and the first thing is to keep your head in the game.

      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
