Best advice.....call you surgans office and talk to the nurse who handles the claims / approvals with insurance. That person should.break down each "hoop" for you. ( ex. I could gain and still be approved by my insurance. However my girlfriend going at the same time as me with Different insurance had a strict no gain rule. If she gained no surgery. She did, and was postponed, put on liquid for one month th get it off n get approved ) call and know your insurance co rules. Your surgens insurance person should be able to break it down for you. Oh I lost time because my insurance had a strict 30 day weigh in w a Dr. I was late once (ok) second time I was late by 5 days I had to schedual an additional weigh in or risk being postponed. My GF.....could just report hers every few months. Different insurance.

Best information ever! Lmao I'm running to tell my husband!

Every one is different. Many ppl have issue with chicken. Sugar is an item to be cautious of. Eat slow and Any new food after surgery take a small test bite,.chew it well and wait 5 min. You should know right then if its working or not. You'll feel the pressure. Waiting can help you avoid gettting sick and worse pain.
I can't eat pork. It hurts like hell, even pureed it hurt. Now I had some tuna and I was surprised I was fine.
The other thing to remember is having help with solids, we shouldn't drink n eat or we will slow our weight loss. But use something wetish / ketchup, avacoto, tomatoes, dressing with meat makes digestion easier. I'm just starting solids pureed and my family eats smashed coliflour instead of potatoes, I am able to puree some meat with that for a meal. Follow the rules, they are given for a reason and you'll be glad you did. Best of luck.

Fantastic! I know the feeling of will it happen. I'm still feeling it. My husband is spooked by my weight loss. It makes him wonder if its too fast. I don't get coments from anyone but him so I feel like its not working. I know my day will come..

Good for you! Best wishes!

That's who did mine too!

I had a VBG in 98 .....I'm 2 weeks out of my revision to RNY ....... Yeah, that is a combo of not chewing and the food choices. It is 100% too soon for solids like that. You r still swollen inside. I did that "foaming and / vomiting" for 10 years! It was so bad I would opt not to eat for a week at a time. So, let your tummy heal. Be mindful of bites and I believe always take a test bite and wait, see how you feel, you'll usually know. Once this happens, I recommend a soft or liquid diet for a day minimum so it heals and your pouch is not inflamed. My two cents.

I have my meal plans and I'm following them, but no where does it say our limits? What have you been told? I use nome to track my calories and I stay between 3-400 calories. I'm definatly not eating all I'm allowed so I got to thinking about the calorie limits. I'm also mad because I only lost 4 lbs this week and was at approximatly 1850 calories for the week total. My husbad told me I'm eating too much! I am supper angry about his criticism with nothing to base it on except I was able to eat more tomatoe then he felt was acceptable for dinner today .....Ahh ppl always have an oppinion of a fat chick eating. He is so on my shit list right now.

I'm looking for support and advice. I am a revision. 98 I had VBG at 550. I got to 293 and as of '11 was 350. I managed to stay at 300 for ...11 years. I was happy, untill I started to put it on rather fast. I had complications (band grown in, ulcers and a rip, not to mention vomiting for 11 years) I was told in 98 I would one day need a bypass but preferably, after children. So here I am I had my RNY on July 19 th. As a revision, I feel FABULOUS! like a thorn was removed, no more like a small log! I was so used to discomfort, I had no idea how miserably I felt every day. It's surgery...and its sore but I am drinking better, food (liquid food) feels better going down then two weeks ago. BUT that kind of scares me. Last time was horrific, this ease is disarming to me. I refused calories for days out of fear. I am motivated by the desire to keep my hair, so I drank my Protein Shake and I had a bit of hummas. I'm tracking calories and grams of protein...I only hit 36gm today.
I hope to find some friends to share the journey. My husband is also starting the process, he hopes for January.
