My particular diet is called clear liquid so no Protein Shakes unfortunately. But I have lost 20 lbs in 7 days. Which is awesome! I will definitely let you know how I feel after surgery and any tips I learn or anything! I'm happy to have a sleeve friend :)

Just an FYI, you can get clear Protein. Try Isopure or ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates. Also, bone broth is clear and has more protein than regular broth.< /p>

(I am not in MO, but my mom is from the Bootheel.)

I am from MO as well and am just starting my journey. My insurance requires 3 months of nutrition counseling and a psych evaluation. Those are all scheduled beginning in Jan. Will be anxious to hear how you all are doing

Hi friends. I got my surgery on Monday. Surgery day and my stay in the hospital was pretty uneventful. They were able to do one incision around the belly button. I was in a little bit of pain but not too bad. Walking really did help a lot! After coming home they gave me some pain killers which I have only needed to take at night to help me sleep. I was asked to get down at least 64oz clear liquid and 15-30 grams clear Liquid Protein. The Water for me is no problem but the Protein water is NASTY!!! Like it's worse to me than cough Syrup but I've been getting it down. Today is day 4 and for the first time I feel I have something stuck in my throat. I'm not sure what's that all about but it makes me pretty uncomfortable. Just wanted to give you all an update!

Glad you are doing well. I am just at the beginning of this. My first NUT appointment is the 18th...then the psych later at the end of the month. Insurance requires 3 months of nutrition counseling.

I'm Blue Springs mo. Going to Lenexa for my sleeve. First appointment is next Monday but I am self pay so I think my surgery will be in 4-6 weeks. At least that is my guess. I'm so ready. Luckily my best friend is doing this with me so we will be going on this journey together!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
