Looking for July Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

I drank shakes for 2 weeks. I found Isopure is not too sweet and has no carbs. I was sleeved yesterday and was very nervous I must admit there were a few tears. I am so glad I did it and honestly the pain is not too bad. I had great doctors and a wonderful hospital in marina del rey. I am very fortunate to have great insurance so it only cost me about $500 out of pocket for the stay in the hospital hotel after care. The majority of the pain is gas pain. If you walk around a lot after it works itself out mostly from burping. I have never had any surgery before and I am amazed at the level of pain. The most it has been is about 4 or 5.

sounds like you're doing really well! Not to scare you lol but I was sleeved on Monday and today was the worst so far pain wise.. So just be prepared! But congrats! And good luck with the rest of your recovery.

Hi everyone ... my surgery is scheduled for July 23! Had my pre-op class 2 days ago, and I'm now on the mostly liquid (but not straight clear) diet until the 21st, when I switch to the clear diet for 2 days.

I'm nervous/excited/ready to get this behind me ... I started the process in April, so glad it is almost done!

I start my liquid only stuff as I go to bed this Sunday. Two weeks ago I kept asking our bariatric coordinator at the clinic when I should start the liquid diet and they said, nope start when you go to bed on Sunday. My sleeve is scheduled for the 16th. I will get a call the afternoon before for my check-in time. Yikes, it is becoming very real now.

Good luck to all sleevers!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck! I am recovering from surgery on wed and I can honestly say I feel a lot better than yesterday and yesterday wasn't bad either. Stay optimistic and drink all your Water. I know the liquid diet is hard but so worth it. I am not hungry anymore and I have been following my drs orders exactly. I really like the Isopure shakes and so far I have gotten about 40 grams of protien so far and I some yummy homemade chicken broth on the stove.

Where do you buy the Isopure shakes? ??

I'm not sure where you live but they sell it at GNC.

If you go to their website there is a "Where to Buy" tab and it has a list of retailers.

Oh girl im on day three and just cant choke down more sickly sweet shakes. Gross. Need this two week hell to be over. But its all worth it and its giving me tjme to think about why my cravings are happening and how to deal with them. Im not hungry now the shakes are very filling.

Thanks for being honest! I have struggled with the shakes especially Bariatric Fusions vanilla. I did discover it is a lot better mixed with unsweetened ice tea or regular black hot or iced coffee.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
