anyone know of any surgeons in south florida or central florida that would do a hernia repair on insurance and do gastric sleeve at the same time self pay ? Of course my insurance wont cover my surgery its Obamacare Florida Blue even though its deemed medically necessary by my primary care physician due to diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol and fatty liver. I was hoping this would cut the cost of the gastric sleeve a little bit

Im 13 days post op and i tried starting my vitamins today and calcium and i got so sick, is there any secret to keeping them down ? I took them first thing in the morning on an empty stomach should i take with food ? Or at a different time of day ? These are from the surgeons office and they said we have to take vitamins and from today i can see this is going to be a challenge. These are the melt in your mouth kind. I dont know how this is going to work out :'(

What do you do when you just cant drink anymore protein shakes ? They make me so sick now i cant stomach them at all

ill try it out and see thanks @@miha.sonya

@@miha.sonya where do you get new whey ? I havent heard of it but would love to try it if its less to drink. Is it a premade ? What flavors do you think is good ? Thank you

Im 5 weeks post op and stalled for a week and a half so does anyone know how to break this stall ? Do i need to make changes or just keep with the program and wait it out? Its so nerve wracking

2 meetings today a club i belong to and my church for a VBS meeting and they both had ice cream socials lol thats my luck and ice cream is my huge weakness !! Im 3 weeks post so even if i tried to cheat i wouldnt get much in but i was good, it was killer to watch everyone around me eating it though twice. I kinda went and sat by myself so it wasnt so in my face.

I was ok with protein shakes pre surgery and post surgery hate them all the only thing i can take is the premade premier protein chocolate and the powders i bought,, forget it theu fill my tiny stomach with foam and air

Just wondering how everyone calculates their goal weight ?

Thank you for the suggestions ill try them

Are boiled peanuts ok to eat post surgery ? I was thinking they may be a good source of protein but can anyone confirm that ?

Im trying to research them and everything says they arent nuts they are legumes so i dont know if that changes anything

I buy the greek yogurt oikos triple zero its the only thing that doesnt go down painfully

How long are you supposed to wait on drinking before and after eating purees or protein shakes ?

Thank you !

Just got sleeved june 29th and i feel nothing, i dont know when im hungry, i dont know when im full all i feel is pain with every swallow and lots of gurgles and bubbles. Will i ever be able to distinguish hunger and fullness ?

Thank you all , ill just go with it and take it as it comes, its so helpful to hear others experiences

Thank you Kate and best wishes to you its an exciting time

Yeah im trying it but its not very good feeling

Does anyone know if you can sleep or lay on your left side post surgery? I havent tried yet dont even know if it might be too painful but i tried right side and it feels pretty good

Ok thank you my back hurts so much laying flat on it

Im pretty sure after surgery everyone gets heparin to help not get blood clots and thats a blood thinner
