What do you do with your old fat clothes?
hco7416 replied to Pac-woman's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I sell mine on Poshmark and use my earnings to buy new transition clothes -
Nope never. Sleeved 1-19. You could probably tolerate oatmeal and cream of wheat much better. I always have a protein shake for breakfast followed by a mid morning yogurt if I get hungry. Pancakes ansD waffles will sit on your tummy like a lead brick!

Bronchitis dehydration and blood work
hco7416 replied to Brandalyn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Take care and feel better soon. Sounds like nasty bacteria is getting you down. Protein shakes and fluids. Go back to basics and make yourself sip sip sip -
Totally normal. I had the same thing

Any suggestions for calcium supplements?

Ice tried the bariatric advantage chews but prefer Bariactive tablets that dissolve. Much better imo. -
Do I have to give up Coffee? If so, how? Suggestions please!
hco7416 replied to Elizabeth21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 6 weeks post op and just tried Chike coffee protein powder last week. Blend it with ice and ff milk. Just like a frappé oh my goodness! 20 grams of protein. It does have caffeine though. My sleeve Is totally ok with it! I have 1 every other day for my morning protein. I love it! -
Ok so I've stayed away from coffee even though my surgeon allows it. Just didn't taste the same as pre-surgery. Ordered the Chike coffee after a recommendation and made an iced coffee this morning and oh my goodness -yummy ????. I've been using Unjury and Jay Robb protein powder. This is very yummy too!

Chike coffee protein - yum!
hco7416 replied to hco7416's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I ordered mine from Chike.com. You can also get sample packs up try first. It's very good. But does have caffeine. -

What's everyone eating one month out ?
hco7416 replied to hootney1214's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was 4 weeks out on Monday the 16th. Because I was lucky enough to not have any nausea or vomitting post-op, my surgeon moved me to soft/mushy foods 2 weeks out. This week I can try "normal foods." However, I'm kind of staying the same. I usually ave 1-2 Protein shakes a day depending on my protein intake. eggs still don't go down too well. I can do tuna, shredded pork, chicken, shrimp. I do lots of cottage cheese, yogurt, cheese sticks, babybell cheese, etc. Shredded lunch meat. I've only tried soft cooked vegetables like carrots and green Beans in soup/stew. Oyster crackers in soup do Ok, just for adding a little salt. Applesauce and soft fruits in their own juice. Blueberries are Ok. I do SF popsicles occasionally and have had 1 SF healthy choice fudge pop. That's about it. I can do cream of wheat and oatmeal, however they make me crave so I think it's too many carbs for me to have. -
Fuzzy navel and strawberry kiwi is good
-
I did not have one.

Vanilla Unjury Protein Powder up for trade...
hco7416 posted a topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Hello! This may be weird, but thought I'd throw it out there. I'm 2 weeks post op and my husband purchased my Protein powder from my surgeon's office prior to discharge. I have a sealed unopened container of vanilla unjury that I would love to trade or give away only if I have to. (Dr.'s office cannot take it back even if it's still sealed. ) Anyone interested in a protein trade? -
Stitch spitting thru incision
hco7416 replied to monopoly2015's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had one and it drove me crazy. Just had the Dr. snip it at my Dr. appt. Instand relief! -
It will get better. I'm 2 weeks post op and it's much easier now than the first 10 days.

New to the site and 9 days post-op of the sleeve and looking for encouragement:)
hco7416 replied to soubifan700's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@soubifan700 I had my surgery on Monday. Was disappointed when I came home and found out I cannot tolerate dairy. I suggest getting your protein shakes in with Almond milk or lactose free milk. I also purchased Unjury unflavored protein which you can mix with anything. Broth, tea, gatorade, water, etc. That may help you get your protein in. Feel Better! -
I was sleeved on Monday. I'm on full liquids for 4 weeks. When I was making my shakes with milk I was having terrible pains the second I swallowed the smallest sip. Did not have that problem with plain water. Switched to almond milk and the pain and spasms have subsided. I think I may have issues with lactose. Been getting in about 55 oz of fluid counting my fluids from the shakes. About 60 g of protein.

Yep. I was sleeved on Monday the 19th. Largest incision is above my belly button. and it was stiched on the inside very swollen and I have a dimple as well. Looks very strange. I have a binder around my midsection that has helped alot!

Surgery Tomorrow! Getting super nervous!
hco7416 replied to jenkbacon's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved Monday morning. You'll do great! Nerves are normal. I too got scared out of my mind, praying helped a lot. Hang in there. You'll be on the other side in no rime!
