If you spread it out over that long a period you never get full. I was told the same thing. To get my meal in in 30 minutes

Me too. Very dark.

I cheated too with string cheese. I didn't have any problems. I am now 5 days post op.

I'm allowed clear liquids the last day before surgery. This can include water with Mio (or something like it) as long as it is not red or purple, broth, sugar free jello and Popsicles (same color restrictions), caffeine free coffee or tea. Going to be a long day...

Oh, and I have 14 days of meal replacements (5per day) plus other liquids including the sf Popsicles and sf pudding. But everything is sweet. I think that is going to get old REAL quick.

I've already told my family that does not live with me that they may want to avoid me for awhile. BTW, I love Snapped!

And specifically.

Good luck to all!

I think it depends on the surgeon.

Holy smokes! How much have you lost? So nice to be young.

From what I have heard your hormones are in an uproar after surgery. That could be it.

You don't have to join a gym to exercise. Walk at the park, get resistance bands and exercise at home. I'm like you, I am not going into a gym until I fit in with the "skinnies." My surgeon had me meet with an exercise guy and he gave me a resistance band and plenty of exercises to do at home. I am sure you can find stuff online too. The first step is to get off the couch and move. My "trainer" told me to start with 3 times a week for 20 minutes. Sheez, I can do that. You can too!

Double heck with your insurance company and find out what your max out of pocket is. There is usually a per person out of pocket max and a family out of pocket max. For example : my deductible is $1250 and my out of pocket max is $3750. I have to pay my deductible and then the out of pocket max kicks in. Therefore, my actual out of pocket max is $1250 + $3750 = $5000. My bariatric group tells me they don't think I will have to pay all that, but they have to wait to get the pre-approval back from y insurance company to confirm my actual out of pocket. What a pain.

This one.
