Any August 31st Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Today I did notice it's harder to swallow and I had tummy issues all night last night. I called my NP and got a prescription for protonix, I've been on Pepcid. I'm hoping that helps, I think it's acid and reflux, which had been better until last night. I found protonix worked better than Pepcid before surgery but ran out and Pepcid is what I was sent before surgery. Fingers crossed.

I lived on the Unjury chicken flavored broth for the first 3 weeks! I put it in my shaker cup and mixed hot tap water...so good...comforting! Not salty like regular broth at all!

Hi, I got the sleeve on August 31st as well. Everything has been going good so far. I had my first post-op appointment and im down 31 lbs including pre-op. I still can't drink my Protein Shakes, they make me sick. I'm improvising things my surgeon recommend to me to make my Protein and liquid goals. I listen to about 5 or 6 songs on my iPad and it equals to about 23 minutes so I walk until it's over. It's hard but I'm trying. I am also new to this site and im so glad I found it. Before this site I didn't have anyone that I knew that could relate.

Hey is anybody interested in unjury chicken noodle Soup flavored Protein powder... I bought two containers before going into surgery and now after surgery the smell just makes me gag... I really enjoyed it before surgery but i can't even stomach the smell of if... If anybody is interested please let me know and I will ship it to you at no cost... Just send me your information.

It's 20 grams of Protein per serving. Mix with 8 oz of Water. Each container has 17 servings. I have a full container and a half full container left and I don't wanna toss it.

Yes! I just opened my sample pack of it today and I absolutely LOVED it!! :) I'm definitely interest if still available :)

I graduated to soft foods today, and had some turkey meatloaf for dinner - I had no issues, though I chewed it to death just in case. I'm pretty excited to get to have some more normal foods without blending! How is everyone else doing with eating? I'm down 27lbs including pre-op... not too shabby for a month. :)

Nice that you have graduated to soft foods. I cannot wait until I can, I am so sick of broth. I am still having a hard time drinking Protein shake or even getting in 5 small meals. My surgery was a revision from lapband to sleeve so recovery has been slow. The weight has been coming off rapidly which is good, I was advised since it was a revision it might take longer I have lost 32 pounds but that includes pre-op. Are you guys having difficulty sleeping at night?

@@amaral1407, when do you get to graduate to soft foods?

I couldn't get 5 small meals in when I was on liquids either, so I wouldn't sweat it too much. My initial recovery was great.....it's the large internal stitch on the left side that has been murder for me the last week. I'm still sleeping in the recliner, so sleep is decent. I think it will be harder once I actually sleep in my bed. I hope that you're doing better since it's been a couple of days since your last post.

i'm on soft foods as of today! one week of this and then i can eat anything.

i'm down 30.2 lbs since surgery day but i think i'm stalling as i've only lost a few ounces in the last 4-5 days. my energy came back last week. i haven't felt this good in YEARS. i took the kids on a two hour hike, chased them on the sand (which is a WORKOUT), played basketball with them the other night. i don't even feel out of breath and i'm sleeping so well on the nights that i do that.

i'm back to work tonight (i'm a photographer) and i can't wait!

Heres my update! I was sleeved on the 31st, and I am down 29 pounds!!! I guess the icky liquid diet pays off!! :)

29 lbs since the 31st? Or including pre-op? If that's not including pre-op, that's insane!! Either way, congrats to you!

That is not including pre-op! But my SW was higher than most at 394... So that's probably why. But I am thrilled either way ????

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
