Calling all October Sleevers
kelew39 replied to sleevechic8's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 10/6. I have bad reflux and I can feel it when I eat or not. It's all the time. I can swallow meds ok though. I love really cold sugar free koolaid. It has to come from the freezer with ice in it. Room temp is gross. Shakes are ok but since I'm in soft foods, I am doing a lot of chicken. The canned kind is great. I sip a lot but I want to guzzle. I think I'm dehydrated and constipated. TMI. Other than that, I'm ok. Was down 25 lbs from my last visit on Sept 18. -

I've ordered samples of different kinds of shakes from Nashua Nutrition. They are $1.95 each. Got some for before an d after surgery. My favorite is BSN Mochachino. It is so good.

I'm on day 4 of the diet and I'm cheating a bit. The soups I'm eating still have the bits in them and I don't have strainer so I eat it all. I know once I start the clear liquids, I can't eat them only broth so that helps. I'm seeing the lbs drop though. 5 in 4 days. I'll get it together, I have to.

Started my liquid diet today. It's ok so far. I know now that I can't have chicken broth for breakfast. Not enough substance. I'll stick to my shakes early in the morning. -

Got Aetna? Got approved? How long did it take?
kelew39 replied to mnmlst's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Paperwork was submitted on a Tuesday and received on Thursday. Monday the nurse put notes in. Friday I was denied. I needed 25 more days to meet the 90 day diet. Went back to the BUT on day 92 and paperwork wad resubmitted. I was approved 2 days later. It was a rollercoaster but not too bad -
Congratulations! I'm on the 6th as well.
