United Healthcare - Still Waiting On Approval ...
alliegb3 replied to Estrovan's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have UHC- bmi of 47. My doctors office called a week after submitting and they said I was approved. I got my letter a week after that -
All I can drink is Unjury, even before surgery. But make sure you do have enough so you won't be running out to get something while you should be taking it easy. I know my NUT let me have full liq, so I bought some Greek yogurt before hand. I had not even thought about soup, so I sent my mom to get some. But it's easiest to stock up

Can Anyone Help Me Out Here, And Tell Me What Can I Drink For A 2 Week Liquid Diet?
alliegb3 replied to Karen2012's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
You can so do this, love! Just take one day at a time. If you need something other than water, get crystal light (they even make crystal light energy drink if you need it) and get moving on the treadmill, any little bit will help. You got this! -
I made an awesome strawberry lemonade today. Take a scoop of strawberry protein, add it to 10oz water and 1/2 packet crystal light lemonade. (or pre make lemonade, use 10 oz and 1 scoop powder) I even put mine in the freezer, let it get ice chunkees in it... Mmmm, I want more now....

The full sign... I dread those stupid hiccups

I don't like the girls bopping around either, but you just gotta be all natural (think of this as your way of sticking it to the man) its just a short time, don't do anything that causes uncomfort or rubs the incisions

Sleeved 5-21 And No Problems ?
alliegb3 replied to HondaCivicDude's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My sleeve buddy- you are describing me exactly! If I hadn't seen the baby stomach I wouldn't have known-- except when I hit my full mark I hiccup now. I have like no 'real' restriction feeling, I drink loads of water and get my protein in fine. My NUT said I'm just doing everything good. You are too! No worries -
How Long Do I Need To Take Off From Work?

I haven't gone back yet, but I took two weeks. One would've been fine for me though -
About The First Few Days Of Recovery
alliegb3 replied to lovex5's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'd say no, I do have my husband and mom but as long as you have the food u need and someone to watch the kids, you'll be fine -
I guess I'm gonna need to look it up
-
I had the same problem. I have never had a diarrhea problem but before the surgery it was all liquid! Lasted til a couple of days after, but I saw it as a blessing; Nobody wants to strain after stomach surgery
-
We are all sleeve buddies... It sounds dumb but I am excited to have some people in the same boat as me.
-
My Greek yogurt does seem to fill me up. But I am just nervous I guess. I drink (sip) all day except for my NUT says 10 mins before and 45 after (I usually at least wait til 30 after 45 seems a bit long) and I drink and drink.
-
Nope no ppi.
-
I'm there with you. I eat or drink every hour so I just start drinking then the next hour eat (after 30 mins) then gotta wait another 30... It goes on that cycle- but I'm hungry too. Had mine 5/21.

Cream of mushroom is great with roast. Makes a gravy that's awesome. But not my thing with chicken.

alliegb3 replied to JamieElizabeth's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ur such a great mom! She's not going to get in all 80 right now. She should get some from protein drink, milk, yogurt, soup... All the stuff she's allowed to have. Count everything. Should be at least 50ish right now. -
Post Op - Struggling To Get In Protein
alliegb3 replied to JamieElizabeth's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is considered two different things. You should treat protein as kind of a meal. -

I was sleeved 5/21. Start drinking ASAP, when u get up. Then alternate water and protein. It works. -
Not Even Two Weeks Out, Calories High
alliegb3 replied to jaymzee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree- post a day journal for us. All soups need to be low fat and everything else sugar free. You shouldn't be doing too much juice right now bc of sugar content. Even 100% juice is still a truckload of sugar. -

Daily Vitamins
alliegb3 replied to readytobeslimxoxox's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Opurity bariatric. One a day- chewable. I like them. They come in a bottle of 100; so when I'm done I'll do flu stones probably. I started them when I started my pre op diet. -
Yes a crock pot is a #1 necessity. It makes meat juicier. And that's something we all definitely need to curb the want to drink with meals an just make stuff go down easier.And if you are busy like me- you just throw it in and forget it! Crock pots were designed so you don't have to lift the li and stir or anything. Actually it takes away from it if u keep taking the lid off!

Can't Seem To Get Off My Butt An Workout
alliegb3 replied to 136HereICome's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Get your 3 yr old, put in a wagon/stroller/wheelbarrow, whatever and get out and do it. You have to. Simple as that. You gotta make time. Even if it's 20 mins. A day. You gotta. Best luck, love! I know you can!
