Hello everyone who just got sleeved or who answered...

Doingitmyway

Are u drinking Protein drinks ?

If so what kind ?

I'm drinking nectar ones mixed with Water I also dilute apple juice. And when I feel I can't get Water down or fluids I'll chew ice crunch ice from sonic is the best

I eat sugar free Jello and with full liquids I eat cream of wheat and I feel full I make it watery so that it's easy to go down. I do get hungry at times but I drink fluids to take that hunger away.

I was feeling pain in my larger incision but it has gone away now

I also eat vanilla Greek yogurt no fruit in it also if u feel u can't front Protein Drinks cuz they are to plain u have a nutrabullet and I put ice in it and. Frozen fruit like peaches mango bananas a scoop of Protein and water and make it like a smoothie then I spoon it like ice cream it's the best if j don't finish it I'll put it in the freezer till I'm ready for more and just let it thaw and blend it again

I was sleeved on 8/9/2016. So far I have had no problems to talk about. Which I am very happy about. I get my Protein in each day does not see a problem. However I am still on the liquid diet. My only problem is is trying to get all the Water necessary in me. I don't particularly like Water nor have I found another type of juice or or drink that I do like so that is the hardest part for me thus far. I hope everything is going well for you and if you have any thoughts on different drinks to get my liquids in I'd appreciate anyone to answer thank you

I don't like regular Water as well. I flavor mine with crystal light just enough for me to drink it and make it very cold. SF ice pops and Decaf herbal teas (raspberry zinger) also help to get the liquids in.

I'm on stage 2 puréed foods, along with my 3 Protein shakes daily. I just now had about 1/4 cup of light progresso cream of potato Soup with some finely shredded chicken breast. Small bites and chew chew chew!! Lol I was sleeved on 08-12-16. Things are going well.

I wish you and everyone the best of luck.

      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!
