I did the six mth waiting period with Cigna and was approved in 5 days. It will happen don't worry about it...

I was Sleeved on July 28th 2011. I was 245 lbs and I am 5'3. I currently weight 182 lbs. So I have lost 63 lbs. I am very grateful but I would like to go down 40 more lbs. I have had a lot of health issue. I have had Breast and Uterus cancer scares within the last month. So I will be have my Uterus removed on the 18th. So excerise has not been on the top of my list. My calorie intake has been around 1200-1600 or less. Should I go back to a liquid diet for a few weeks? and exercise after I get released from the doctor from surgery.. I can only eat a few bites at a time.... So I am so frustrated that I have not been able to lose but a lb. every few weeks for the last three months. I know it is supposed to slow down but I am at a snails pace.....Can somebody give me some advice!!

Help July sleevers!! I am eight months out and have not gotten to my goal weight!! I was 245 at the time of surgery and am currently at 183. I would like to be 130. So I have 53 more lbs to go. I have been stalled for a month. Anybody have any words of encouragement or tips to get the remaining 53 lbs off???

Has anyone tried to take protien pills??

I have managed in a week and 2 days to lose 16 lbs. but my weight has not changed in two days. I know this sounds like I am being a "baby" , but i am worried what I am doing wrong. I am slowly adding mushy solids trying to maintain my Protein. I do weight every day I am sure that is not a good idea. Anybody further out from me have any words of wisdom??

What type of surgery did you have? I will be having the sleeve on this friday. What was the reason you had the surgery/ I am having due to health reasons. I am 33 with 3 active kids and I want to be more in their lives. I have family history of type 2 diabeties. I currently have high blood pressure and high cholesterol What was your chief complaint that resulted in the surgery? do not have one at this time because I am pre op the pre op liquid diet sucks!! How long were you suffering from the chief complaint? the diet is 5 days pre op Was the surgery elective or medically necessary? Medically necessary Full Paid From Cigna Insurance What treatments or diagnostic tests were done prior to surgery/ BMI, Ekg, chest xray , blood work up Were there any preoperative instructions? pre op diet Were there any preoperative issues or complaints? pre op diet What was the outcome of the surgery? hopefully a weight loss of 80lbs plus current weight 230 Was there a post operative visit? If so, how long post op? 6 days for drain removal, 1 mth , 3mths 6mths, 1yr, 11/2 yr Were there any post operative complications/ hope not Was there any additional follow-up that has or will take place? look above

I could not find the tasteless protien and you send me the link?

I would like a tastless protien if there is one. How ever, if there is not what is the best?? As for vitiamins what is the best?? When you first get on of surgery can you take prescribed pills or do they have to be in liquid form?? Help I know nothing I want quick results. My brother gets married in the end of October and I want o have a thinner face in the pics
