February 2021 Sleeve Surgery



Recommended Posts

Finally cleared for surgery on Feb 24th.
Had issue with insurance auth- had to call and get it straightened out.
Had to get a chest X-ray since I had Covid in December
The standard pre -op EKG was abnormal, so I needed a stress echo which was abnormal and then had to have a cardiac catheterization. Finally got clearance after that from the Cardiologist yesterday. Had my pre-op appt with surgeon today to review pre-op diet= 1 week liquids/ day before Clear Liquids. Nervous, but ready.

My surgery was 2 days ago and I’m still having trouble to drink Protein Shakes. I also tried Protein Soup but I didn’t like. Do you guys have any suggestions?

I'm not even attempting Protein Shakes yet. I am all clear liquid so I do have Protein Water and broth but that is the extent of my protein at this point. I don't start protein shakes for another week according to my program.

Which brands of shakes are you using? I am using Unjury and nectar and are fine with both.

So, my Sleeve surgery was 9:45 am on 2/2/2021. Between the pre-op diet that I started 3 days early on 1/23 and this morning, I have lost 9 lbs.! Even having not pooped and holding fluid/swelling, I am down 3.6 lbs since Tuesday, 2/2. I am definitely hopeful that I will finally be able to reach a healthy weight for the first time in decades!! Best of luck to all of you, too!

I’ve been able to get one Protein Shake in and it only took 3 hours. How I’m supposed to get two more in today, I don’t know. If you can’t get the Protein Drinks down, at least be sure you’re getting in enough liquid to stay hydrated. You might try thin out the Protein Shakes with Water. I think I’ll try that next time. Hang in there!

2/12: I’m on day 2 of full liquid diet and I feel horrible (nauseous, shakes, not hungry, weak) will this go away?

Sounds like you need some electrolytes or salt. Do you have Gatorade or broth?

I had a terrible time swallowing the first 3 days after surgery. I used Isopure Protein infusion. It’s like a protein Water and I added a bit of crystal light. Tastes like lemonade. I also do 2 Celebrate shakes a day for Vitamin purposes. I had my sleeve done on 1/27/2021 so I am still on liquids only.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
