tlah

I'm 16dpo and went out yesterday for a few hours. I noticed 30 mins before I returned home my lower back (right side) began hurting. It's pain mixed w throbbing. Anyone experience anything similar? No' date=' my Water intake wasn't much yesterday but I am urinating light yellow.[/quote']

Did you find out what it was

I'm at the same point with BCBS. I found out today that they approved the lap and removal in two days but they want a lot of appointments to approve the revision to the sleeve. They want proof I have been overweight for two years' date=' a nutrition appointment and a psych appointment. I am lucky they didn't say that I need 3 months supervised diet. So I will get to work! Good luck to you [/quote']

I did weight watchers 3 visit with my doctor I was scheduled in 6 weeks I have basic on the federal

I had surgery may 2 start 214. I'm at 189. Had bad nausae but that's gone meds fOr reflux. Had band in sept 09. Never really worked had to keep getting unfilled

Can anybody tell me what the atking induction diet is Id like to try it. Im just starting the program and I need to loose 12 lbs. Thanks!

It's like eating meat Protein as much as you want and non starchy veggies. Only 23 carbs allowed per day no white anything potatoes no breads etc

Excercising and driving I will start soft foods after doc and nut appt Wednesday here is to all of us. Can't wait to see the results by end of June

Hi everyone I'm doing the coconut Isopure not too bad and it also has coconut Water. Remember water is most important first week and if you have nausea you could also be dehydrated sip sip sip. I'm 11 days out feeling great. The more walking you get in the better I was approved to power walk so I've been hitting the tread mill and elliptical I believe this has lead to a bm every day no Constipation ever. I'm sleeping good. I have not weighed myself I go to the doctor on Wednesday I will wait my main focus is following the rules being safe and staying complication free. Except for nausae which I got meds for its all good

Has anyone NOT had to follow a pre op diet? I was told "not to gain any weight" and just eat sensibly. I am a little worried about it. I don't wants liver to be in the way.

Every surgeon is different. Just follow the rules of your surgeon he is the operating on you and that's probably just how he does his type of surgery. Good look and let us know how your doing

I'm one week today. With exception of bad nausea for two days smooth recovery, I haven't been on scale I will wait till I go see the surgeon next week day of surgery I was at 200. I don't feel any smaller but the head hunger is even less

I haven't weighed myself I'm waiting for doctor appt that way for myself I don't short change myself right now on nutrition after my six week check in I will weigh once a week at weight watchers. Don't forget the body is healing tummy swollen hard getting in all Protein and Water

Fabulous you go girl

It all depends on your insurance coordinator at your doctors office believe me they can work wonders. From getting my last unfilled for Lapland issues to getting my date was six weeks. I was 214 when I got unfilled. I was 200 at surgery on may 2. They accepted weight watchers as the supervise diet. And it wasn't 90 days as long as I attended feb. march and April. My doctors office contacted them the Friday after my first April meeting on the Thursday night. By Tuesday I was approved and by Friday had letter in hand from bobs. My doctors office was so confident I had my three nut apps. And psych done before approval. Any help you need let me know also I have basic not standard. Please remember follow the pre op. it is what helped my surgery move faster along without complications and driving the day after I got out of hospital the staff said to me you must of followed the rules because of how I recovered. There two women on my floor who cheated during pre op and were doing terrible they were in so much pain. Surery was longer liver still had slime on it

I seem to get hiccups at random....not associated with food or drink. It is happening more now that I have the sleeve.

Sometimes it can be your body signal that its full

I started weight watchers 6 weeks prior to surgery it has helped tremendously also made approval easy ww counted however if anyone is interested sparkpeople. Dot com is free and its like ww online while we all fund our way to this lifestyle along the way if you graze substitute it with lower calorie carb items. We can do this

Just a suggestion it felt good to have total control of something briefly

We can all do it just take it one day at a time don't look back. Here's to us and the milestones ahead

Omg@tlah!!!! I am positive many sleevers cheated on their preop diet!!! That doesn't mean they will not be successful at their weightloss. Thats why many have the surgery' date=' we cant do it alone even for two weeks. I cheated and Im still gonna be a skinny b**ch when I cheat post op too!!! If you have had this surgery and are doing everthing perfectly, why did you have it done in the firstplace??? That's all![/quote']

I wish you the best but the sleeve will not work unless you use the muscle between your ears as well. I did and followed my surgeon's directions with no complications

They approved me in 4 days. Fepblue basic. I used weight watchers 6 weeks from starting to surgery date I onky had nausea but its been great followed my pre op to the t. And I believe that's why ni complications post op day 5 I'm doing 2 miles in the morning and 1 mile at night. No gas pains at all. Regularly having bowel movements

Hi everyone. How ate you all doing. I was able to drop 14 lbs pre op in 6 weeks. Following my surgeon have had a great post op. exception nausae first two days. I been able to walk two miles mornings and another one mile at night. Protein goes down well. Water going down not as well but getting in 55 ounces. So how is everyone doing.

Awesome tremendous

Have anyone cheated on their liquid diet.. today my first day its getting hard as the day go on.

Don't do it if you can. The diet is there so you have a good operation without complications and its a practice for post op. remember his is a lifestyle change. Move forward don't look back

5 months loss of 117 lbs surgery oct 31. Starting weight 388 weight now 271.

Your doing great

I remember being pre-op and my favorite thing to do was look at progress photos and dream

I am 6 months' date=' 10 days post op and I am down 128 pounds total. This isnt a very great pic since I have been sick, but i still took it because anything is better than my before!!
