correct. I use mine every night

Just a note: they can tell if you've just left in running or actually used it by the compliance data. sleep apnea is one of the largest killers of the obese. A surgeon who requires this is doing a good job.

My experience with yo yo dieting in past years is that when I am not fat........my man is very happy with the libido!!

Be prepared to spend most of the moments, until you get used to it saying in your head and out loud...
"Oooh, look at my hip bones sticking out'.
'Oooh! Look how bendy I am now!'
'Hmm...Do you think that chandelier will support my weight now? I think I'm going to swing off of it'.

Post op day 5. I stayed in the hospital two days and then in a hotel in the city. In the event of any problems, I did nnot want to deal with our small hospital. I am doing good but am still swollen and bloated. Tummy volcano is not so bad but still feel the bloat. I had lost 13 lbs on the pre op diet and was surprised to get home and fine my post op wt was UP. It must be all the Fluid etc.
In the hospital I only ate my Protein stuff they gave me in an envelope and sipped Water, mostly sucked ice. At the hotel, the first day I could only get one shake down, yesterday I got two and today the required 3. I find sucking on ice is good for me, but I have sipped some water today. I don't see my doctor again until March 11.

One more normal day for me, then I pack up and head to the city where I will spend the afternoon and night at the hotel doing by bowel prep. The two week 800-1000 cal pre op diet has not been bad. I have two Premier chocolate shakes a day and one meal. Monday, sort things , pack up according to my lists, Tuesday, head to city, Clear Liquids and bowel prep, Wed morning, SURGERY.... I can't believe it

Yes. The surgery messes with your hormones. It's important to stay on your meds (I'm assuming you already have) and call your surgeons office. They should have staff that can immediately help you. I hope they do. You've done super good. If possible force yourself to go outside and walk. Getting out of the house and seeing the sun helps me quite a bit. Also, Don't give up on getting some help .

My husband and daughter both have depression. Doctors take it very seriously and usually get you in to see them very fast. There are a lot of good effective treatments for it. Call your doctor ASAP.

Surgery was Thursday Morning. Feeling better day by day. Not very hungry but glad the hard part in over.

Feb 26 for me!!

I am sure it is frustrating but like investment returns, consider the long term results

I had my last Bariatric class yesterday with the RN and she told us this could and probably would happen

I LOVE the Premier Protein shakes. I use some crushed ice and pour it into my Magic Bullet and it makes a wonderful icey shake

My cousin had surgery, sleeve, Sept 19 and has lost 76 lbs but she has stuck to it stringently

I went with the bypass surgery because I am Type 2 Diabetic and also had really bad acid reflux. Based on those conditions my surgeon recommended the bypass over other options because it works so well at "fixing" the diabetes and other surgeries could worsen my acid reflux. Almost a year out and I'm very happy with my choice.

For us newbies, it ould really help us if you who have already had surgery, could keep your stats updated. Thank you!!!

Don't give up. Stay on top of it, call to speak to her supervisor or the dr.

Good luck.

I have Tricare as well and the only thing that I had to do was the psyc eval and the 6 month supervised diet. That is a looooong list. But they are very quick for approval. It only took me a week to get a yes. Now I am just waiting for the scheduler to cal me with a surgery date, But you can do this!
