Any August 31st Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Today I did notice it's harder to swallow and I had tummy issues all night last night. I called my NP and got a prescription for protonix, I've been on Pepcid. I'm hoping that helps, I think it's acid and reflux, which had been better until last night. I found protonix worked better than Pepcid before surgery but ran out and Pepcid is what I was sent before surgery. Fingers crossed.

I lived on the Unjury chicken flavored broth for the first 3 weeks! I put it in my shaker cup and mixed hot tap water...so good...comforting! Not salty like regular broth at all!

Hi, I got the sleeve on August 31st as well. Everything has been going good so far. I had my first post-op appointment and im down 31 lbs including pre-op. I still can't drink my Protein Shakes, they make me sick. I'm improvising things my surgeon recommend to me to make my Protein and liquid goals. I listen to about 5 or 6 songs on my iPad and it equals to about 23 minutes so I walk until it's over. It's hard but I'm trying. I am also new to this site and im so glad I found it. Before this site I didn't have anyone that I knew that could relate.

Hey is anybody interested in unjury chicken noodle Soup flavored Protein powder... I bought two containers before going into surgery and now after surgery the smell just makes me gag... I really enjoyed it before surgery but i can't even stomach the smell of if... If anybody is interested please let me know and I will ship it to you at no cost... Just send me your information.

It's 20 grams of Protein per serving. Mix with 8 oz of Water. Each container has 17 servings. I have a full container and a half full container left and I don't wanna toss it.

Yes! I just opened my sample pack of it today and I absolutely LOVED it!! :) I'm definitely interest if still available :)

I graduated to soft foods today, and had some turkey meatloaf for dinner - I had no issues, though I chewed it to death just in case. I'm pretty excited to get to have some more normal foods without blending! How is everyone else doing with eating? I'm down 27lbs including pre-op... not too shabby for a month. :)

Nice that you have graduated to soft foods. I cannot wait until I can, I am so sick of broth. I am still having a hard time drinking Protein shake or even getting in 5 small meals. My surgery was a revision from lapband to sleeve so recovery has been slow. The weight has been coming off rapidly which is good, I was advised since it was a revision it might take longer I have lost 32 pounds but that includes pre-op. Are you guys having difficulty sleeping at night?

@@amaral1407, when do you get to graduate to soft foods?

I couldn't get 5 small meals in when I was on liquids either, so I wouldn't sweat it too much. My initial recovery was great.....it's the large internal stitch on the left side that has been murder for me the last week. I'm still sleeping in the recliner, so sleep is decent. I think it will be harder once I actually sleep in my bed. I hope that you're doing better since it's been a couple of days since your last post.

i'm on soft foods as of today! one week of this and then i can eat anything.

i'm down 30.2 lbs since surgery day but i think i'm stalling as i've only lost a few ounces in the last 4-5 days. my energy came back last week. i haven't felt this good in YEARS. i took the kids on a two hour hike, chased them on the sand (which is a WORKOUT), played basketball with them the other night. i don't even feel out of breath and i'm sleeping so well on the nights that i do that.

i'm back to work tonight (i'm a photographer) and i can't wait!

Heres my update! I was sleeved on the 31st, and I am down 29 pounds!!! I guess the icky liquid diet pays off!! :)

29 lbs since the 31st? Or including pre-op? If that's not including pre-op, that's insane!! Either way, congrats to you!

That is not including pre-op! But my SW was higher than most at 394... So that's probably why. But I am thrilled either way ????

      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!
