Enjoy. Remember low sodium soy!!!

Tolerable probably, recommended ? If you are like most of us rice is very hard at 7 weeks. For me rice felt like swallowing thumbtacks untill about 4 months or so. I am almost 14 months out and still cannot eat a whole roll ( smallish) .

Make an appt. speak directly to your dr let him know how difficult the records lady is and don't leave without your letter . Good luck !!

Don't be discouraged, seems like you have a nice program "keep your hands to the plow". How is your hunger after work outs? - if it is strong try adding some complex carbs to your diet. 900 seems a bit low for all that swimming and life!

here in kansas we don't have a lot of good mexican food.Go to Lawrence hit burrito king at 130 am when it's busy and everything is fresh. We sleevers could eat 5 or 6 times off one . Even pre sleeve it was hard to finish one. Authentic tamales and chilies rolleno.

My dr explained it as skeletal remodeling, the short of it is ,as weight comes off gravity pulls at us differently causing new muscles to engage to do common activities, for me standing straight up was hurting a lot ,after losing a lot of weight I thought my back would feel better right away,but it took some time and exercise.check Duexis ibuprofen coated with Pepcid, a sleevers dream med. Hope you feel better!!

In my humble opinion at 7weeks the suture line is the weak link ,that would tear before you stretched any remaining part of a correctly sleeved stomach.The fundus is the part that is removed that's the "stretchy"part. Sounds like dr is hustling you demand the leak test results and get a second opinion! Good luck

I can see Clara mass from my house, I have Bcbs horizon I used dr Strom at mountianside I paid him 25.00 co pay and some copays for pre op clearance my total out of pocket was 150. He told me at initial consult I would not get another bill and if I did give it to him I never got another bill. My BMi was 36 with no comorbidity and was approved first try

Ok sorry ,you asked! I just read the label didn't make you eat it or not, perhaps maybe your nut got this one wrong ! Pasta is pasta it's just my opinion that at 7weeks out we are better served learning about what complex carbs we like or can tolerate than how much we like pasta . As for moderation that came down the road ,I was very rigid with my diet before I hit goal .

I'm in jersey with bcns horizon my approval letter for vsg congratulated my for wanting to get healthy and said something like "be advised bariatric surgery often leads to excess skin that we don't pay to remove" so basically "tummy tuck" removal of skin and lacing abdominal muscles is out, if you have medically documented skin infections in areas where skin hangs they will consider a lesser procedure that removes the skin apron but no internal work. My surgeon has a list of locals who do these procedures.

It all depends on how much swelling was in your stomach. I was able to drink that much pretty much right away but some people have more swelling which causes them to not be able to tolerate as much. Remember that the fluids don't stay in your stomach they leak straight through the pyloric sphincter into the intestines so Fluid intake is not as limited by the size of your stomach. Hope this helps' date=' good luck.[/quote']Hahaha you said Sphincter!!!

Everyone has different post op experience, but if you are able to drink that much I would say its an edge for you, dehydration is what gets most of us in trouble acutely post op and thereafter. Congratulations and keep drinking and walking!
