For those looking for recipes, these two books are fantastic!

Thanks for posting! I just bought the gastric sleeve cookbook!

I have my 2 week appt with the nutritionist on Friday and I cannot wait to start the purée stage! I am so tired of surviving on Protein shakes!

I ate too much this morning, yogurt and cottage cheese. Feel like I could throw up, can I should I ? Will I hurt my sleeve?

I had my sleeve done 09/05 so I’m not allowed yogurt or cottage cheese yet, but I have thrown up (lucky me) and was fine! My surgeon said it was normal, but of course ask your dr if needed.

Thanks, it passed without coming up. I guess I'm still getting use to the feeling of being full with the sleeve. I now know how it feels and when to stop. Start puree today after Dr. visit.

Hello! I'm pending insurance approval!! It's making me all kinds of anxious. 🙂 Hoping to hear something soon

@julliedrvp I called my surgeon's office and they said they submitted all my documentation to insurance last Monday. I called the insurance company and they just received the fax yesterday with a request to expedite the request . . . .:-( This is the worst part to me, I hate waiting

[juliie 29]

@jen0413 I haven't called my surgeons office yet, but I have called my insurance twice and the first time the person I spoke to said that I did not need a prior authorization for the procedure and I was super confused after that phone call and the second person I spoke to said that they had not received anything, but it could be that they haven't updated my profile yet , I might have to call my surgeons office to see when they submitted paperwork

@julliedrvp they just called and my surgery date is October 2nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[juliie 29]

@jen0413 that is great. I called my surgeons office, and they will submit paperwork today, so now the waiting game starts. I can only imagine how excited you are

Hello, great to meet you. If you can fill us in with a little more information like what you eat and drink in a day and if you have a exercise routine, young children about, work etc. There are lots of people on here who have had the sleeve a while. They are sure to help

I have that worry too. I’m pretty good at taking small bites, chewing a lot, and setting down my utensils in between bites but sometimes that still doesn’t take me 30 minutes (I’m also only on soft foods). I feel the most rushed at Breakfast when I’m trying to slow down to eat but still rush out the door for work. I think it’s just trying to be mindful and slow down as much as you can. If your body feels okay, it’s probably okay.
