I do not have BCBS but have AETNA and I also have the same exclusion and was self pay. I am 10 days post-op. I am from Harlingen TX.

I went to olive garden and the manager had my ckicken and gnocchi strained and measured to 4oz only. I was only able to eat about 2oz. She even send me home with two 4oz containers ready for me to eat. This will probably last me 2 or 3 days. I also got my isopure.

I am going to GNC to get some isopure. Maybe I can get my protein and liquids in at the same time. Thank you for the info.

Today I feel worse then ever. 10 days post- op and I have no energy, my protein shake is making me nauseated. I just want to go to sleep. I hate that I feel like this. I am on my 4th day of a week of full liquids. .....VENTING.....

I gained 2 lbs I really think I had to many carbs yesterday. But I did get in all my 60gms of protein. Today I am going to do my Adkins shake less carbs I hope this helps. I am not going to freak out just yet.

I tried the chike banana and it was very tasty. took me 2 hrs to drink but I finished it with no side affects.. I am mixing 1/2 sleeve of propel with ice Water. I hope I can drink it all today.

I diluted the lifewater zero. So that was good. I was able to tolerate the EAS protein drink so that is a plus. I will try the diluted sf apple juice . Dang it I hate that my taste buds are so pickie..

I do not like the smell or taste...what next. I tried some creamy ckn soup earlier and I was able to handle it. I can not tolerate plain water any more. I can drink sf tea. Crystal lights are way to sweet. I have some chike samples I will try tomorrow. Bad thing I am not getting in all my fluids or protein. ...

Prayers going out to you and your husband.

Great job. Looking great..

You will do good. They will give you the motivation you need. Best if luck. Go kick some butt...

Omg you look wonderful. I can hardly wait to post my before and after pics. I am 5 days post op.

This morning I was able to finish a snack pak jello in 30 minutes instead of 2 days..trying to increase fluids today as I am not at 48 oz yet.

Wk 1 clear liquids. Wk 2 full liquids wk 3-4 pureed to soft foods wk 5 reg food.

I was given samples of bariatric chewables and I only take a small bite throught the day till I finish it. Right now I am tasting the celebrate and yesterday I had the bariatric advantage. I am doing okay with both of them. They adviced me to take either one for at least 6 months and then I could switch to a regular brand.

I am glad to hear you are doing better.

I had heart burn yesterday. The MD on call called in some powder nexium and I tell you I feel better and I am able to drink more liquids. Yesterday I started on the bariatric chewable vitamin. Last night I got off the bed the wrong way not once but twice and I was in so much pain. I am sore today.

I really expected to be in lots of pain after surgery but I wasn't . They gave me a b-12 shot ,morphin, decadron, reglan, they applied a transcope patch and a couple of other things I do not remember. The only problem I had was my BP was way low and they kept me in recovery 3 hours , they started me on taradol ?on spelling. In the recovery room. They told me if I followed the diet to the "T" I would have less complication and pain.. Btw I have 6 incisions and 1 is the one that hurts.. Each and everyone's body is different. So take all the time to heal and get to the point of no pain. If we try to hard and move faster then our bodies are ready to heal .. we might end up hurting ourselves..
