  1. Prune juice has been working wonders for me.
  2. Don't think I was expecting this. A little concerned. Cleared up today but was difficult to expel. Best way to put that. I had the same consistency and problem post c-section. One of those I ended up in ER impacted. Is this normal? I was expecting to need prune juice post surgery but not before. Surg is tuesday

    What is everyone eating?

    I made chilaqiiles for dinner Take 1 rotisserie chicken and shred it (leftovers work great). About 1 cup more than enough Take 4 flour tortillas. Toast them in a pan (no oil). Brown hen just a little Rip them apart Place 1 tablespoon oil Ina pan Add ripped tortillas Then add your shredded chicken Then add about a cup of tomatillo salsa (I made my own) Then sauté for a few minutes Add two egas scrambled. I used whites so 4 whites Sauté and stir until eggs are Cooked through Serve Family enjoyed the dinner and I of course took this mixture on my plate and removed tortilla, puréed it with a little more tomatillo salsa. Yummy! I am cooking recipes for the family using ingredients I can eat and just purée my version
  4. Before I had my sleeve I read this blog up and down and sideways. Especially the complication forum. I also read other sites Internet, basically anything I could get my hands on BUT I've not seen someone get a leak "years" later As someone suggested you should discuss complications with your surgeon.

    Sleeve Leaks ... Any fatalities reported?

    So this is your 2nd post of this same type issue Really it's not for you. I am not sure if you are seeking affirmation or seeking to dissuade someone. Good luck whatever decision you make

    Travel Challenges-Need Suggestions

    Can't you purchase what you need where you are traveling? I travel quite a bit for business but currently on medical. I traveled during pre op diet and: Packed my powdered Protein powder in a Blender Bottle Purchased 8 ounce almond milk at a local grocery store and mixed it up Found a Vitamin shoppe and a GNC local to my trip - purchased Isopure there. They also have all your shakes One of my staff has had this surgery and I had her traveling with me 3 months post. She shipped herself everything to the hotel that she needed in advance.

    Toys and Orgasms

    Been married 21 years and toys are the spice we added quite a ways back. Sometimes they're used sometimes not. At first it was me including them and he is totally into it Really communication is the key. Make sure you're both good with it. And then get the toys you can use together.

    Not sure about the powders but i mix my proteins with almond milk.
  16. You have 24 hours for best effectAfter that starts to be risky You do not need a prescription
  17. Go to the oharmacy. Ask the pharmacy for plan b They sell it behind the counter. Nonprescription It's about $45 here in nj. Not sure where you live It is emergency contraception. Causes no pain, may cause a period but if you do it within 24 hours you should be safe. Then talk to your gyno/pcp

    Pain after sleeve surgery?

    The worst pain I had was when I woke up from surgery. I was immediately medicated and was fine. From there on out it was discomfort and was easily managed by Tylenol with codeine for 3/4 days and after that nothing.

    scar cream

    Is that the charge or what they actually paid? The two are different and I've found most prescription processors don't actually tell you what they paid on an EOB. Just the charge

    Puree food recipes

    When we say purée. Do we mean the consistency of mashed potatoe? Because I've been using my cuisinart and adding liquid to get a non dry consistency

    Hospital gown

    Nothing. Total commando for the 28 hours of hospital stay. Then came home and still have not worn a bra. Want to stick to dresses though as much as possible so I don't have to buy too much right away
  23. Bs you can't appeal it Of course you can. What state are you jn? Appeal it to the insurance commissioner State that insurance prohibited you appeal rights Then clearly state why you need the surgery all he medical reasons why. Do not refer to prior complications they paid for State where and how you meet today's medical guidelines Before you appeal request a copy of the medical policy so you can attach it. Make sure you meet every required point in it

I hope in 6 months I can say I've lost 60 pounds I try to walk every day and am 10 days post op. I started puréed this week and needle has not moved. I expected this. Just a little sad though Hope I am at 60 by 6 months
