My Sleeve is broken



Recommended Posts

2 scrambled eggs is 180 calories. I'd hardly constitute thst as a broken sleeve.

You're adjusting to changes, get used to it

eggs are not a dense Protein. When you get to where you are cleared to eat solid, denser foods, like chicken, beef, pork, you will feel the restriction.

Your sleeve is not broken. Just be patient, and when you get to denser foods, you will see.

eggs are still considered a soft food, so its still early. When you get to things like steak and pork chops you should start feeling something. Don't rush it though. All in its good old time. Let your tummy heal.. THAT is most important right now. And double check you're on acid meds.

also try to remember to look at food differently. Eat until you are no longer hungry. when we were growing up we were always taught to eat until we are full so we considered that the right way. If we eat only when we are hungry and stop when we are no longer hungry, I found I had much better results.

Thanks everyone. It's a bit scary when you feel like you had surgery and it doesn't work.

So many people feel that way but it's rarely true. It's like we have this mentality that since so many other weight loss attempts didn't work, surely there will be a reason this one doesn't work. Anyway, good luck!

Once you eat a denser Protein you will feel it. chicken triggers my restriction hard personally and so does steak. eggs never triggered restriction for me and now I can't eat them at all as they don't sit well.

      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!
