I have been sleeved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone!

I received my sleeve on Aug. 4th. Everything went awesome! :D My fears of pain were misplaced and all I have to say about that is.... they give you pain meds for a reason. USE THEM. It made my life a million times easier. The only real pain I felt was from the gas they expand your abdomen with anyway... which is intense! Pain meds were my friend until about three days out and I was good after that. However... I was feeling so good I went on a walk with my dog and guess I didn't realize how far I went and maybe over did it. I have a very sore spot in my tummy next to an incision area that I my have pulled. It feels like it's on fire when I turn a certain way sometimes. But, I'll be ok.

Today is my first day back to work but I'm only in to read and answer emails and then I'm heading home at 12. I will be back full time next week.

I have to say this is the best decision I have ever made in my life. No regrets what so ever!

I haven't been sick and really the only thing that has changed is the way the Protein tastes. I will have to find some I can deal with because what I bought before I just can't choke down.<_< Any suggestions would be wonderful!

So if anyone has any questions about anything please feel free to ask.

Congrats and welcome to "the other side"

Sounds a lot like me in the begining. You are doing wonderful, keep up the good work! I couldn't stand the Protein Drinks either and still can't for the most part. The only 2 that I can handle are Pure Protein strawberry Cream in the can, Vitamin Shoppe has them and whey Extreme 60 chocolate from GNC.

I have tried just about everything and they all make me GAG!!

Good luck to you!!

Kelly ;)

Thanks Kelly, I will check those out. I wonder if it is possible to just eat enough meat to get all the Protein you need? Wouldn't that be great! I guess you would be stuffed full all of the time though.:huh:

Your doctor will want you to get all your Protein from solid food eventually, but now you have to take care of your new tummy. I get all my protein from chicken, cheese, peanuts, etc.

Glad to hear you are doing well!! Keep up the good work!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
