carstanger replied to timetobefree's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi! I' m traveling and trying to stay with the soft proteins as some are still making me sick. 66 now as of yesterday Nd sleeved 2 months ago. Was down 30 pounds but scales don't agree so I'm not sure now if I'm stalled or what. -
Good for you!!!

What state do you live in ? Michigan did not pay for mine and I was 65(Blue Cross managed care)

I turned 66 yesterday and am 2 months out. Also had hiatal hernia repaired and gall bladder removed, At the gym and walking i Feeling stronger all the time. I had to pay myself but off over half of my meds. Still on soft foods and traveling. Best thing I did for myself

Glad I didn't wait as I had mine done in November, and Medicare didn't cover it and since I turn 66 tomorrow, I know they still are not covering it in Michigan, according to the chart.....if I read it correctly.

I'm at 7 weeks out and still on soft proteins....no breads, salads, pasta, potatoes, etc. Eggs still cause me problems. Can eat small amounts of Wendy's chili, just had some spaghetti sauce with 93% lean ground sirloin. Doing ok with it so far.

I live in Mi and had to pay for my sleeve because I am 65 (66) on Sat. Sleeved on Nov 12th. Had gall bladder removed as well as hiatal hernia repaired. Because of that they paid more on the hospital bill so am checking on it.

Week 6 what it feels like
carstanger commented on Pink Butterfly's blog entry in Pink Butterfly's Blog
I'm at 7 weeks on Monday, but I am on soft proteins until week 8. Have had chili made with gr. sirloin, and tonight had some sloppy joe meat and did well. Can't stand eggs at this point, even though I like them before. Not sure why but I'll wait a few days and try again. Still struggling getting all the liquids in. -
I was told I might be able to go back to Celebrex ina few months but am hoping I don't need to

Since my consultation with the doctor 3 weeks before the surgery, on Nov 12, I've lost 29 pounds. Not losing in the stomach so can't wear a lot smaller slacks but losing other places. Still on soft proteins.
