Just wondering if there are any South Florida Sleevers out there. I am in West Davie out near Weston. Looking for a support buddy.

Hi Everyone! I'm in Royal Palm Beach and have been posting in a few places to see if anyone in the area would want to start meeting up in person to be friends and hang out with other people who can relate. I went ahead and started this MeetUp group: www.meetup.com/WLS-Palm-Beach-County. Feel free to join and invite others. I thought it'd be fun to start with maybe 2 meet ups a month somewhere central to hang out and get advice, support, etc. Please share. Thanks!

Hi ladies!

I had my sleeve on Monday the 19th, with Dr. Shillingford. He is s super guy, as well as the hospital staff!

I was worried for the usual pre surgical reasons. But I am very happy I finally did this for me.

I have been taking it slow, walking, and eating. I have to say, from what I have read Dr. Shillingford's pt have a more liberal eating schedule post op-

I have been eating yogurt, cottage cheese, Soup ( I bought the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein to add to everything) very thinly sliced chicken breast,(chew , chew chew) and Protein drinks.

Sipping is hard but you only forget ONCE. Eating slower is a new one for me as well.

I ws planning to go back to work on Monday , but Im thinking I was being way to ambitious thinking that .....maybe Wednesday.

Tampa area here , had my sleeve last Thursday 22 , doing good

Thanks for starting this. I joined tonight. I had been in other meetups over the years. My id over there is ssbeadlady. I hope more will joined so we can soon plan a meeting day and time.

I don't know if I count but I'm across the way in Fort Myers. My surgeon is Dr. Thomas Bass and I should get my surgery date any day now.

Hi! I had dr bass too! (I live in Naples). My surgery was end of July -it went well- did you have yours yet?

@@doubledinfla I had surgery on Aug 17th. Everything went really well except my Iron anemia is really bad but other than that I'm a very happy camper!

That's great. Sometimes I have a hard time getting the protein and vitamins and water in but I am really trying. What kind of protein do u drink?

@@doubledinfla I'm using the Pure Protein powder. I haven't had any issues with it so far.

I miss my Pure Protein, this Chike crap the surgeon uses is off tasting.

What do you mix it with? And what flavor do you use? Is it foamy or smell bad ? I have such protein issues lol

The Chike is quiet horrible in comparison to the Pure Protein. Surgeon's pre-op plane only calls for the Chike, and I use mostly chocolate and on occasion a vanilla one. I can't wait to be done with them and go back to my preferred brand. I use just Water and ice direct or blended. It is not foamy at all.

I don't believe I've had Premier Protein.

I use skim or almond milk with my Protein shake mix. I use both Vanilla and chocolate flavors of the Pure Protein mix. I personally think the chocolate one tastes like cake mix and the vanilla one is quite pleasant tasting. I've also used orange juice with the vanilla powder and it tastes like an orange julius drink.
