May Doctor appointment and surgery February 13th and I changed my mind for about a month or so before I started all the testing for insurance I have bcbs of Alabama once I got everything in it only took 4 days to get approval 

It should go without saying that, post-surgery, chugging/funneling/shotgunning and the like are out.

I actually had a beer a couple of weeks ago. Took a little longer to get it down, but no ill effects.

Hello, I am also in the bronx and new here as well. So far I am done with my 4 doctors visits, and 3 dietitian vist. Remaining test is scheduled for February and hoping to have a surgery date for either March or April.

good point.

Yes, It makes sense. Worried about losing and worried about gaining. You will find your zone. You got this.

It's ok to have a freak out moment. Maintaining and eating more calories is a whole new mind set. Your surgery restriction is still good at 6/7 months out. Your restriction may feel less after your first year. Check with your dietician and see if they would approve liquid sources. I drink liquid carbs to increase my intake for distance running. look into body building weight gain/muscle mass protein shakes. The macros are much different than bariatric shakes. (Read the nutrition fact labels)

You are doing great. This can be done Embrace that it's going to be a chore until you find your maintaining zone. How many meals are you eating to consume 1500 to 1600 calories? Increase your meals again to hit 1700 or more. I distance run and have the sleeve. It takes me all day to get in 2500+ calories. I carb load for seven days before a half or full marathons. It's chore. But, it's necessary to stay healthy.

I am really loving the flavorless protein powder I bought. I put it in my water to kill 2 birds with one stone. Thank you for answering!!! Sent from my SM-G892U using BariatricPal mobile app

This is more dependent upon your insurance carrier, not state. May appointment with surgeon, December surgery.
