Progress. The top was about 4 days after surgery and the bottom was today. SW 315 CW 255. I'm almost 3mths out. Also, that hoodie is a men's small and I haven't fit into it in 6yrs. It's tight, but I was able to get it on. I'm no longer "extremely obese" and am just "obese". And a bonus picture of me with my little one.

Hi everyone! I'm from Philly as well. Just starting on my journey. I'm going to HUP and my surgeon will be Dr. Williams. Can't wait!
Anyone have Independence Blue Cross Personal Choice and has had the surgery? Just trying to get a feel for what the approval process will be like.

was sleeved 12/13/12 by Dr. Boorse at LVH and have lost just over 200 pounds! Great guy, great hospital. Easy for me to say because everything went smoothly the entire way. Not one single complication or annoyance....I can't say enough about my experience there. My insurance did not cover any of the surgery and the hospital was wonderful to deal with to work out payment schedules. I hope this helps anyone just starting the process.

PA here. Having surgery with Dr Harrison in Lehigh Valley mid July.

Hi MsJ and Roserie! Thanks for checking in

Looking for some recommendations for cookbooks. Can be any type of food.< /p>

I didn't bother reading the entire thread but what I gather is you were incapable of keeping your legs closed and are pissed off you got played by some guy. Little advice, don't sleep with guys you hardly know and then get upset when he doesn't stick around.
It would be one thing to come on here and tell people to watch out if this guy forced you to have sex with him, but he didn't. I'm sure this isn't the first time some guy has done this and probably won't be the last if you so freely give it up. You willingly slept with him, he turned out to be the typical jerkoff guy who just wants sex from girls. Move along and keep your cooter in your pants until you are in a committed relationship or don't get pissed when all a guy wants from you is sex.

I bought a cookbook called Eating Well After Weight loss Surgery by Patt Levine, plus a couple of paleo diet cookbooks that looked interesting. In addition to the websites listed above, I found one called Protein Pow that focuses on baked goods made with Protein Powder. High protein breads, cakes, and other yumminess? Yes, please! http://www.proteinpow.com/

The World According To Eggface is another great blog/website with tons of good recipes! I made her "Florentine Bites" last week and love them! I froze a bunch. I plan to try her spinach and feta bites next...
