I was given a tentative date of Oct 5th while waiting for approval. One thing I can say- is be persistent! I kept calling my insurance company to see if my Dr's office had submitted, and finally called my Dr's office and raised hell. The squeaky wheel gets the grease!

On Facebook, search for the group:
Gastric Bypass Support & Encouragment.
There is tons of information and support. Check out the Documents, and the BOT (back on track) diet. There's even a "pouch reset" plan. Sleevers join too.... You can do it, good luck!!

I was also on a clear liquid diet for a week post op. No Protein or milk of any kind. I remember the diahrea vividly. When I went for my 1 week post op I was told this was completely normal.
The next week I went to full liquids which included Protein shakes, it improved but as soon as they switched me to puréed I then got the other issue of Constipation. They tell me this is the high protein low carb diet.
I still deal with constipation and take stool softeners with laxative twice daily.
It is normal for the stage you are in.

Thanks, I guess I was just feeling this way because I made my family dinner and they were all eating. Just had a moment of weakness. It's not that I'm hungry, cuz I'm not. I guess I was just missing a time when I didn't have to worry about it all.....

I'm 9 days post op and had the same problem. My stomach wasn't hungry, but my brain and nose and mouth were starving. I think it's a sign that we're doing really well. Take it one day at a time. It was so wonderful to move to my second week diet. Remember, solid food is coming down the pike eventually. Good luck!

It is common to think about food and miss it after surgery. But life has many trade-offs and this is one of them. This desire is especially prevalent in the liquid and puree stages. We are physically imbedded with a desire to chew. Until you reach the solid stage, you will miss the ability to chew foods.

Wow ppl really Need to get informed on cannabis . Typical judgemental statement . The munchies that's hilarious . Read up on cannabis and it's health benefits before passing judgement.

After years of contemplation and research, I am finally ready. I go into surgery at 12:45 today. It's definitely a monumental day, the first day of the rest of my life! Prayers for the best outcome possible are welcomed! Thanks ❤️

My surgery is Thursday too!!! I'm SO excited, and a little nervous. But- totally ready!! Good luck to you!!!

@@Grace2115 Thank-You & the same to you!! There is a few of us on the October list of Surgery's for that day!!

I'm responsible for 10% of the surgery cost, and I have to meet my $100 deductible by the day of surgery. I had to pay $150 total to see the psychiatrist and nutritionist. I think you will see that it's different for everyone.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
