Guys!!!! I discovered a god send last night:
Www.bariatricfoodie.blogspot.com
This lady is awesome!!!!! Great recipes for WLS post patients for food i never thought id ever be able to have again like pizza!!! My favorite food in the world is pizza and this woman found the answer! All her recipes are dope! Cant wait to go on my soft food phase so i can try some things of hers! Good thing i found her day 10 post op!

I took Prilosec and had no problems whatsoever getting it down.

I was really worried about the Prilosec and that gallbladder capsule, whatchacallit, but I had no problems with any of the pills or capsules.

Three denials and one last grievence appeal I am finally approved and can really start my journey! Due to a very timely cancellation, I was given a surgery date of August 6th so the next three weeks will be fast and furious with all the pre-surgery testing. I'm so ecited to FINALLY be moving forward!

Thank you Storm! I was hoping I could connect with others who will be having surgery at or about the same time as me. It will be great to have others to take the journey with.

Wow! It sounds like it does pay to be persistant.

I knew I could rely on the fabulous people on this forum to help me feel better than I have for two days and to keep my confidence and determination up. My skinny husband's response was "Well, at least you tried." Please know, he is super supportive of me and this journey but it just goes to show that people who don't have to fight this struggle everyday do not know how this feels and how it felt to get that letter.

TRY TRY AGAIN...I know people who have gone back and forth with the company and finally got it! Sometimes it takes a week sometimes a few months but they get it.

I would call them and ask why. I got denied once and found out that I needed to do a more comprehensive 6 month diet. So I did it and I got approved the second time around.

It is definitely a learning process.. and one that is ongoing even after being sleeved... Sometimes, I forget and attempt to chug Water, Sleevina let's me know who's in charge... I'd say, work on one thing at a time.. Set a timer for 20 minutes and try to extend your meal time to that length...
I purchased a rubbermaid 32oz water bottle w/ a spout.. I definitely can't chug out of it.. Maybe get one of those and try to take a sip or 2 every few minutes....
