Can’t drink protein shakes! Post op
dg371 replied to KrystalRose's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Premier Chocolate and banana cream are the only ones that I can drink on a regular basis. Everything else is to sickly sweet and artificial tasting. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app -

It's been almost a year since I had my sleeve done and I can honestly say it was the best decision I've ever made for myself. I fought my weight for 30 years, and won small battles, but never the war, not until now that it is. I feel healthier and happier than I have in years!

Hello All! For the first time ever, I voluntarily posted a picture of myself on FB. I was sleeved on 3/6/17. Just a couple days after my 49th birthday. My SW was 236, my CW is 163, and GW is 150. Other than my first week being a pure nausea hell, everything else went great. I do miss eating more than a few bites of food when I'm really enjoying the taste of something. I also miss baking. One of my favorite hobbys. My co workers also miss my baking! Lol But I feel better than I have in years! I would never have asked for, and gotten there promotion at work, had it not been for the surgery. I knew I wouldn't have been able to do my current job if I didn't lose the weight. Anyhoooo...my pics Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

Ive had stalls that lasted 4-5 weeks than all the sudden I drop 3 or 4 lbs. As CJ said, keep following your program. It will eventually show on the scale! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi teesdg, My incisions are all healed but still visible. Between my gallbladder surgery and then my sleeve surgery, I have so many scars on my stomach, looks like the face of a clock. Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

I had trouble getting all my water in, so I drank very warm fruity herbal teas. It helped immensely and went down easy. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

I was nervous too, but my evaluation was really just a long talk about the surgery, long term goals, my support at home, making sure that I understood the entire process etc... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

Dr. Onopchenko did my sleeve on March 6th. He was awesome. His entire team and office staff are great. I've never been so impressed by any medical staff as I was worth them.

Hi all! My surgery is scheduled for Monday, 3/6 with Dr. Onopchenko. Anyone from New Jersey that has had him as a surgeon? I feel like he's very easy to converse with and ask questions. So far so good anyway. I'm not sure how he is with aftercare.

Hello all! Just wondering if there are any sleevers from my southern NJ neck of the woods? I was just sleeved on March 6th at Atlantic city medical with Dr. Onopchenko.

I used it mixed in a little with my pureed chicken or turkey salad.

I was nauseas for 4 days and also had "buyers remorse", but on the 5th day, I could finally keep some warm herbal tea down. It got much better from there

I was very lucky with my surgeon and his staff. Dr. Onopchenko was wonderful. He and his staff were very kind and explained everything. Treated me and my husband with great respect. Best experience with a surgeon that I've ever had.
