October 2018 Sleevers

[JessLess 1,163]

Just reporting in. I had my surgery 10/15. My doctor did it through my navel as I requested and I will have no scars or marks (I know they are tiny anyway). I spent 2 nights in the hospital and a very painful first week. The second week I worked from home and resumed some activities like washing my hair and being human. I'm tolerating lots of foods like mushed avocado, mashed potato, hummus, yogurt, and Protein Drinks. And since I know a lot of people wonder about going back to work, 2 weeks later I am at my desk job, tired but doing fine. My only stall far was Constipation related, I think. Considering all we go through to do this, I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Who is going into the Soup stage? Sleeved 10/23 and tomorrow is the big day for something besides a gross Protein Shake. What do you have figured out for Soups? Any easy homemade ones?

I’m past that stage but a great Soup I liked was a curry butternut soup . Use Bone Broth and get 9 grams of Protein and u can use unflavored whey powder for more .

Hi byefat! I was able to have blended Soups with my Protein Shakes. I made black bean Soup with Bone Broth. I also got a delicious lentil soup at Trader Joe’s and blended it up. It was very satisfying. Also, I took a can of progress low fat chicken noodle and blended that with some unflavored Protein Powder. It was so tasty! I found I wanted salty way more than sweet stuff! Good luck!

I got the unflavored Protein powder that genpro makes. It’s 30g of protein. I blended it with the can of Soup, then heated it.

I’m not feeling very happy right now... I got my sleeve October 24th 2018 and it’s been a rough couple of days.. I didn’t expect to be so nauseas for so long medicine helped but still felt like a lot of days ...

Well my surgery went well. I have a lot of pain. Maybe from the gas they put in. They gave me pain meds in recovery through IV but now they are giving me crushed pills. I'll be here in the hospital for two days. I did drink 3 oz of Water and didn't feel sick
