  1. Any word from Aetna Jocy???
  2. Went to the movies tonight. I was caught up in the movie that I reached in to the popcorn tub and ate 12 to 15 popped kernels before I realized what I had done. I am 3 weeks almost 4. Now I am worried that this can hurt my sleeve or that I am falling in to old patterns. I am do disappointed in myself. Help!
  3. I would wait Jocy, I know the waiting game is the worst. Hang in there and keep me posted
  4. Hi Jocy, took 2 weeks for me. I asked my insurance advocate if there was any updates. I was told AetnA was asking for more info. Maybe the insurance advocate can give you an update. Keeping my fingers crossed.
  5. Only drinking water, tend to drink more if I have a cup and straw. Call me a wierdo
  6. Does anyone know if we can use straws? When I had my lap band sugary I was told no straws for 6 months. But when I converted to the sleeve no mentioned we could not use them. Any ideas?
  7. I take Nexium... But had that before surgery for on going GERD. I was told I could continue Nexium or omperzaole for heartburn.
  8. Hi Jocy, the date is getting closer.., any word from Aetna? I am doing ok, was rough for me on the liquid phase but getting better every day. Keep me posted.
  9. Hi Jocy, my approval took two weeks with aetna. Hang in there... Keep us posted. I know the waiting game is hard. I was sleeved 3/12.
  10. Hi, Mews... I was a day of ahead of you on my surgery. I am starting to feel a little better. I noticed I am starting to get hungry. I do eat as the I was told too and only eat a few bites and I am good to go. I am still struggling with getting in the 64oz of Water. I am right at the 32 oz mark but working up to the 64 oz.. I do have moments where I feel tired but working on it..
  11. Thank you for the input, it's making sense
  12. I was sleeved 3/14. I have no energy... Started my vitamins 3/22 but even taking a shower is a major chore;( any ideas?
  13. Thank you everyone for the feedback. I just have this feeling like something is wrong. Took a 10 min shower this morning and I felt like I had been power walking for two hours. I hope it's just my bodys way of recovering
  14. I think I am having a bad moment, but not sure. I feel so tired and I get hot flashes for no reason. I am also disgusted with myself because I can't make the 64 oz water mark:( I am barley at 30 oz. I just feel so full. I am so tired and really starting to think I made a big mistake:( sigh.... Thank you for just letting me vent.
