I have craved a Cheese burger for a while I am 9 weeks post op but haven't given in. I know it won't be the same but I'll try it without the bun!!

Yeah keep trying!! I tried for almost 10 years to get approved by several insurance companies!!

I hear you, I am almost 8 weeks out and I feel like eting is a real pain in the ass!!

This happens to me as well and I generally attribute it to eating too fast. Or not chewing well. It is better than vomiting in my opinion.

I was sleeved 7 weeks ago and I tolerate pasta ok. Of course we are talking very small amounts, but one thing my nutrionist suggested was Quinoa pasta. It has protein and to be honest I prefer it to any whole wheat, tofu or any other type of pasta substitute I have tried you can get it at most health stores, or Publix (here in the South East) maybe target?? or even Wal-Wart maybe.

I thought this was really well done documentary and goes far to dispell the rumor that obesity is all about laziness and lack of self control. I think it could have done a much better job talking about the political and public policy implications of the issue as far as food policy and health care policy goes, but thats just me. It is a complicated issue that is for sure.

I am a man! Whats up? I am interested by the disproportion of females to males who have WLS.

wow that is a lot of typos!! Sorry everyone!

I am also 6 weeks out, and have tried a few sips of wine here and there with no bad effects even tried a beer but only got through about a quarter of it, before it got warm and I lost interest. I have had no side effects. Since we still have our duodenum we wouldn't have the same reaction to alcohol that some one with a RNY woul dhave. I agree though don't over do it. I am interested to hear about trying Jack on ice. I was a big whickey person before surgery. I haven't had it in months do to pre op and none since surgery but I am interested in how it affected someone post op.

Dr. Ben David did my surgery on 4/30 and I agree he is a strict dude! But I couldn't be happier with my results so far!

Thanks guys I am glad to be here.

Hello everyone, This is my first post. I am 4 weeks out after having the surgery on April 30th. I have to admit I am feeling good. Getting into a good rhythm when it comes to eating and drinking. I am in the pureed stage and everyday its a little better. I am not sure how much weight I have lost, my post op exam is tomorrow and I am excited to see where I am. I started out at 567 the day I went to my initial surgical consult and when I left the hospital I weighed 521 so I use that as my starting weight. I am 30 years old and have been trying to get this surgery approved by one insurance company after another when I had private insurance as well throughthte state of Florida which resulted in a lot of hoop jumping but very little action, I finally got it approved with new insurance with my current employer and I couldn't be happier about.
