wanttolose32

I had my sleeve on Monday (04/16/12) and I swear sometimes it still seems like my stomach growls. I am not sure if that is it or the gas still in my system. Any suggestions?

How are you feeling?

I wish I did. I have taken Zoloft for several years now. It works, I do know that. Sorry I could not help with the post op. Maybe if you do not get an answer on here you should call your doctor.

Sounds good. Italian food is my fav. Will def make in a few weeks or so.

Congrats!!!! I hope mine goes as well.

I am still doing my preop diet of no carbs and fat. It is hard I will admit and there have been times that I just wanted to give up and eat a cheeseburger but I know that come Monday, I will be headed for a new me and that is what keeps my spirits up. I know, easier said than done but seriously, it can help.

I am on the 2nd week of my diet and it is kicking my butt. Sometimes I just want to quit, but I have a good support system so that is good.

My BMI is 51.

I am having my surgery on Monday also and he told me 2 weeks. I also have a desk job and think maybe a can go back a week and a half but we will see. I am waiting for a reconsideration from my insurance because they denied it for not being medical necessary. So I wish you luck with the insurance process. I am anxious but it will be all worth it in the end.

What can you not eat? For instance, I am having whole wheat toast with no fat jelly, scramble eggs and a small glass of milk for Breakfast. Is that safe for the preop diet? I my surgeyr was not approved but I went ahead and started this diet anyway because the office has hope. What exactually can you have and cannot have?

me too

Hi everyone! My names is Amanda and I am 32. I just finished my required 6 months with the dietician (insurance made me) and now I am waiting on a call to schedule a appointment with the surgeon. I am nervous, excited and scared all at the same time. She went over the preop and postop diet with me today. That is alot of liquid. Well I hope to hear from them soon, I will keep you informed.

I have cigna as well, just finished my required 6 month with the dietician. Now waiting on a appt with the doctor. Good Luck
