I have been back to work 2 weeks and I sip protein drinks in between breakfast and lunch and dinner. Remember you will be eating like 2oz of protein and a half hour will b fine,then wait your time and start sipping liquids.

I have BCBS state of Florida pop and they covered my band in 2010 and just 3/30 my revision to sleeve and I was never a BMI of 50.

I hope they approve it for you! I had a band slip and was necessary so I had approval right away. My BCBS had originally paid for band.

I was sleeved 3/30 and am down 26lbs and find the same issue, I am only weighing now once a week. Are you eating solids yet? I am still on puréed thru this week. I am trying to walk 3days a week as back to work last week also. Look for non scale victories too like clothes fitting looser.

No eating premiere shakes,cottage cheese,sugar free jello and sugar free pudding,plus hot tea and broth occasionally and my 2 chewable vitamins. Plus not needing diabetic meds! I walked around a few outlet stores today and the grocery store. Family eating bugs me too,but really not hungry @all. Have to retrain our brains!
