I was banded on 5/7 I had no appetite for a few weeks but because I am working out i am getting hungrier so I will get a fill on June 15th

What is the 5 day pouch test? Never heard of it.

Since you had no dairy or no sugar? What did you eat? Were your meals always the same?...great achievement by the way...

How long have you been doing this for?

Because everyone calorie intake is so low, do you guys feel that your body goes in starvation mode? My trainer actually recommends 1600 a day especially since I will workout 5 days...140 in protein....120 in carbs and no carbs after 3pm.

My surgeon recommended flintstone chewables with iron...

I had my surgey on the 7th with a hernia repair...you will be fine...make sure you walk ..every hour ..and take your pain medication...good luck to you

Thanks Carol, I was wondering why I was having chest pain...they did do a hernia repair on me..banded on 5/7

I cannot lift anything more then 5lbs within the first month

I was also banded on May 7th. You have to walk every hour to get rid if the gas. For pain they gave me a form of liquid vidican which helps me a lot. I also have not been drinking but i know i need too!

I'm also may 7th! I go to nutrition class on Monday so i guess Tuesday i will start my liquids

I have bcbs ppo of Cali and I live In Michigan, I got approved. There shouldn't be a problem as long as u follow there requirements.

It will definitely be a uphill battle, but if u r serious about it you can definitely defeat it. I've started this process in January 44 bmi with no health issues. My paper work was submitted it was denied the first time cause hospital put down inpatient, so resubmiited for out patient. And now pending for 2 weeks. So u see is just a game that we all to play...good luck to u.

Congrats kerra! I'm also waiting for approval or denial it has been 2 weeks bcbs.

That was fast! I am still pending hopefully no news is good news!
