Wendy's chilli is actually not bad health wise and provides Protein. Why soup if your not on that stage? Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

Stephanie that was exactly what my requirements were. They wanted me to lose to show I was dedicated. They did take into consideration that I quit smoking asst the same time I was pursuing this. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

I appealed it, found the weight I needed documented on paper and got an approval in August. Surgery Oct 15. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

I'm in the same boat as you with the calories. I even get hungry. My nutritionist doesn't see anything wrong with it. She said if I'm eating slow and chew chew chewing then I'm on track. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

I feel your pain. I was denied my first try because I didn't have a 2 year history. I was told to look through all medical claims filed for the first year to see how much I weighed because my pcp didn't not have a recorded bmi over 40. It was a urgent care that had the recorded weight I needed. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

What bmi does your insurance require you to be. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

I didn't lose any weight during my 3 month consultation. I actually gained and they blamed it on the quitting smoking thing. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

Girl my daughter which is 9 told me to tell you that your beautiful. You look amazing! Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

I'm going to weigh myself Mondays since that is the day of the week that I had my surgery and Fridays for our Friday weigh INS we have in here. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

Yes I'm glad I'm not alone. I'm going to try on some pants and see if I notice a difference. I've been wearing sweats since surgery. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

You all are right. Thank you for the support. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

I know it slows down eventually but I just didn't think this early in the game it would. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

Thank you I will stay positive. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

I'm getting 60 plus protein in and all my fluids. I am also taking my vitamins and even working out. Your probably right about my body being in starvation mode. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

I'm 3 Weeks post op. I haven't loss any weight since week 2. I'm feeling down. What am I doing wrong? Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

In Dayton Ohio at Sycamore Hospital. Dr. Schumacher. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

Congrats! I went back to the gym yesterday due to it's too cold to walk outside here in Ohio. I over did it with zumba yesterday. Today I walked on the treadmill and did some arm weights. Your going to love the gym! Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

I guess every doctor is different. My doctor had me on soft foods after my one week appt and then at week 2 start adding a new solid every day. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

Mine is every other day just about. It took me almost a week to have my first one after surgery and I was on full liquids at the time. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

Good luck Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

I'm allowed to eat everything. I'm supposed to try a new solid every day. So far peanut butter, a healthy choice meal and Banquet turkey sausage don't work for me. They gave me chest pains. I'm thinking I can't have precooked frozen meats. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

Looking good. Yes there is a difference. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk
