I had chosen my doctor because he was referred by many people and he was also in networ with my insurance. I even picked the hospital that was in network and where my surgeon was also part of network. Stayed 2 nights, and thebilled my insuranve 44,800. And billed me 3000 for anasthesia. I think the anasthesia should covered in network since that's why I chose the surgeon team and hospital. I disagreed with the bill and they finally said it would be covered. That is ridulously to me! Sorry my typing is all wrong, I'm super tired , and typing on a blackberry

Wow 1200 calories? That seems like a lot. How much are you eating each meal? i was sleeved on june 23rd and eat about 3-4 oz and get in only like 800 calories. Stalls are normal, and i think im in one right now too but it will pass.

Are we allowed to have unsweetened iced green tea? I LOVE it but i think it has caffeine. Why can't we have caffeine?

I try to keep my carbs under 40 but maybe i should cut it even more. I changed my PPI to prilosec hoping if i am having "hunger pangs" it would help. Anyone hear of that??
-
Thank you! We will both do great
-
i do use myfitnesspal.com and usually stay around 800 calories and less than 40 carbs a day. But i will try the website you suggested. THANK YOU
-
Thank you! That is very encouraging. I appreciate that!!

I have only lost about 5lbs since July 25th. And im getting so discouraged because i see how everyone is losing maybe a lb a day or so. I just changed my PPI from Prevacid to Prilosec because ive had major hunger issues. I haven't gained any weight thank goodness, but losing weight is like pulling teeth for me. And i know the first 6 months is when you lose the most weight right? HELP. Ive been walking, got a fitbit to track my activity during the day.

Tonight a co-worker gave me a piece of a chocolate mousse ( maybe 3 oz ) and said to bring it home for the hubby. I've been pretty good staying away from sweets but tonight I was very very weak for some reason. My husband will never taste it because I ATE IT!!!!! No I feel like crap plus soooo guilty!!!! Anyone else have moments of weakness?? Uggggggghhh! I FAILED

How much can you eat? And how often?
-
I too use small "baby" containers to bring to work. However no matter how hard I try, I still can't get enough water in. That's amazing that u get 80oz in! For me, the amount of food I can take in, depends on what kind of food it is. When I have a turkey patty, I can only eat like a little more than half. But with soft fish, I can eat and eat! This whole new stomach is a learning process and I'm trying to understand it

I've never over eaten to the point of throwing but, but today I had chicken and enjoyed it way too much. I think I did over eat and my stomach keeps rumbling and talking really loud. I feel like I need to burp but it won't come up. Does this happen to anyone?

Hello Foxgirl, wondering how your Vitamin levels went Curious if the gummy Vitamins are high enough for us
-
I am so sorry! I don't know much about the legal aspect, but where you on a medical leave of some short? I thought when you went on leave of absence, your job would be secured....anyone else hear this? Im very sorry this is happening to you. Things will work out for the best. Just hang in there

Hello friends, I am a little over a month out and seem to eat maybe 3-4 oz a meal. But get hungry like 2 hrs later...my doctor said that was normal and said to eat 5 meals everyday. But that seems like so much. I know i could eat that much, but don't want to stretch my tummy. Wish i could see my sleeve, how food goes in, so i know exactly how much is ok. Can you tell me how much you ate one month out?? And how often? Thank you!

Hello! I had my surgery on a thursday and went back to work Tuesday. I could've went back to work on Monday but wanted to give myself more time to rest, even though i felt fabulous! GOod luck!

I was sleeved on June 23rd. And eat about 3-4oz each meal. I have like half a yogurt for snack, or a hard boiled egg. I track everything i eat at myfitnesspal.com and seem to be under 700 calories everyday, and my carbs remail pretty low. My question is, i still seem to be hungy. I am on a PPI, and take it everyday. I read that the ghrelin hormone takes a few weeks / months to be out of your system. So im wondering will i have less hunger as i go along? Im afraid that if i still have this hunger, and our tummys stretch over time, i will eventually gain weight. Anyone ever go through this, and stopped feeling hungry at like 6 months post op or something ( please say yes!) thank you

I am in the same boat. I eat about 3-4oz of food, and find myself hungy a few hours later
