Almost 3 weeks post-op....scales are slow!

Well, here I am, it will be three weeks tomorrow since my surgery. I survived my liquids, clear and full, and the soft food stage. Tomorrow I am supposed to start full foods. My doctor wants me to get in as close to 50 grams of protein a day. So, I have been having protein shakes, made from home and the Gladiator from Smoothie King. I have had refried beans, cottage cheese and soups. My favorite is potato soup, which I know is NOT high in protein, but if I am getting pretty close to

So I went into the office and waited about 15 minutes. I was not nervous. The nurse called me back. She weighed me and calculated my BMI. I was s

An intro to my story....

Found out last week that my insurance has an exclusion to any type of WLS.....which I expected. So now I am gonna be cash-pay.....just have to pick the right doc for me and get the ball rolling.   As of right now, I am looking at two docs. As of right now, I am looking into going to Mexico and using Dr. Aceves who charges $8750 or Dr. Borland in New Iberia, La who charges $9800.   If I choose to go to Mexico, I will have to have a passport and airfare. The passport I am pretty su
