sorry to be so graphic. but if i take Fiber (gummies is what i bought) will that help with the runs i have on this liquid liver diet? any advice helpful

i have tricare prime in the north region. how does the fills work with our insurance? do i get the referral from my pcd to submit to tricare and then they approve it? do i end up only paying my co pay?

how are you feeling? any pain? did you go back to work? congrats on doing so well...

congrats just do it on ur 50 pounds. that is wonderful

i am getting that band w/plication on the 6th. i am very excited about it (said no cost as its clinical trial also)

thats me ras, i eat (alot) not a sweet person. more junk/fast food/high fat/high calories. i kept mcd's in business.

my doc tried to push me for the bypass (my ins wouldnt cover sleeve) and because of the cutting of my stomach , i realized that once it was cut, there was no going back. it was cut forever. it scared me. granted i have a large bmi but i told this doc what i wanted. he also told me that it is only a tool to help as i am the one who makes this band w/plication successful. i think you need to get what makes you comfortable. i have been reading this forum for 3 months, and found numerous people who have lost 50 , 100, 75, 100, 150 and some over 200 pounds and still going. it is a tool. if you use it wisely/correctly, you can achieve anything.i believe that. again, i chose the band because it is less evasive and it can be removed if any problems ever came about. wishing you all the best.

yes, i have tricare prime. after my pcd referred me for all pre ops, the only thing it doesnt cover is the nutritionist visit. tricare was a smooth ride for me

why were you denied?

best wishes and luck to you

i am right there with you. i have surgery on the 6th. and i am liquids til then........trust me i am on that OMG phase right now. i am on day 4........the first two days were the worst. i wanted to just give up and say what the hell. i know its hard. damn hard. but u can do this. look at what all you have done to get here?? i am right there with you...u need help/support. i am here.

great.......just want i need to add to what i got now........

congrats and great news. wishing you all the best

tried a watermelon flavored shot.....on my gosh.....was it horrid. the label said great new taste. i was able to do only half. tried to mix the later with crystal light and ended pouring it out......YUK. bad thing is hub bought me a 24 pack.

i agree with your post second chance. it sounds as if i could have wrote it. thank you for sharing and good luck to you and everyone

congrats to you ( i am just 5 days after you)

Whey Extreme are very tasty and 15 at walmart. i tried fusion and was not impressed. def a waste of $ in my opinion. i mix mine and put in freezer for slush or super cold........cant even tell its a protein shake.

good luck and wishing you great success (my hub said the same thing about me being on this liquid diet now...he says if i can do this, i dont need the band)......i only wish.....best of everything

sounds like some guy is alittle insecure of his lady losing weight and looking hot. he is an ass. i am sure you are gorgeous. ignore people must be ignored.

this is what doctor told me i am getting. has anyone else had this?? how did it go?

my clinic also tried to persuade me to buy their vitamons, proteins, bullets...from their new (store). it all is so expensive. hub got me some extreme whey protein in cookies and creme from walmart.........i mix it and put in one scoop and put in freezer and then get it out in slushy stage. very good.

love your attitude. i think that type attitude is crucial to make this happen and be a success. this is a great sight to get lots of info and support.

beginning to think it maybe the pop iscles as they are sugar free. so is the crystal light.

am using protein whey and also fusion...what type fiber? my dr was very specific about what i could/couldnt have...

doing well today, drinking alot and doing my shakes (putting it in freezer as a slush goes down easier).........eating pop iscles and sugar free Jello (hadnt had that today)..took imodium ad bc my stomach is crazy upset..........and whooee, scared to go to work tomorrow because of that... hub is big support and just trying to remember why i am doing this and not focus on doing without.
