Did u charge ur fitbit? Heres a reminder. Lol

I havent had it with liquid diet either. I just had caffine withdrawl I had to trick my brain past. Lol....it worked....not complaining.

I had this horribly! I was a heavy caffine drinker and had to trick my brain. I have started drinking tea with no sugar but splenda instead. Still a very small amount of caffine....but not enough to matter at all. I just use 3 family size bags and add 3/4 c splebda to a gallon. Barely sweet but takes the headache away. Hope it works for u.

Thinking of u all....how r u all doing post op? And WELCOME TO THE LOSERS BENCH!!! I cant wait til Tues and meet u there. God bless.

DONT.GIVE.UP! You have come so far. This is a minor road bump. You are so on it. Keep pestering them....

Great advice! I never looked at it that way!! I am doing a lil better. Found sugar free popsicles and it helped alot.

I had a IVC filter put in to prevent blood clots. It was recommended by my dr. Wasnt exactly a walk in the park. But I'm one step closer to my final destination. Losers bench....I'll be anxiously awaiting to post I did it.

Molinas requirements are 3 comorbidities and a bmi of 30+ or a bmi over 50 and comorbidities no longer matter. You have to do 6 mo program. That consists of: 1. Classes (about 6-9 classes) 2. Psych eval 3. Nutritional appts (2) 4. Meet excersize coach and get measurements. 5. 6 mos of weigh ins 6. Submit to insurance and they have (by law...2 weeks.) I hope this helps. I had molina and got approved. Surgery is Tues. Let me know if u have any questions.

Christy....ty for posting ur concern. If you research this....this is VERY RARE. This sounds like negligence at its finest. I would not change my mind based on someone elses dr not being competent. Just be sure to thoroughly check out ur surgeon and his policies for his surgeries. I know my personal dr doesnt let us out less than 72 hrs after surgery. I will be a lil longer I'm sure due to open Rouxny. I hope this helps. God bless. Misty.

Surgeys Tues

Had my filter placed today....now on to the surgery room Tues!! I am so super excited I cant stand myself. Filter, just for the record.....painful!!!

Love it!!! Cant wait for begin our journey!!!

So glad she is doing well. Give her our love and prayers.

Oh Ginger...lol.... I know now who to "remind" to wear it...hahahahha....just kiddin. I love mine cause its so good at making me accountable. now I have a fit bit buddy and someone to talk to about gastric....it doesnt get any better than this.

So glad it went so well. Mine is tues! Im having my filter for blood clot prevention tomorrow at 6 am! Seems to be so far away yet so close. I wish I could just sleep til its time to go! Lol lol

If u cant.... im NOT! I was doing ok til they called to get my final instructions and reminded me that there was a slight chance of death!?! Wth is wrong with these goons!!

Congrats on surgery! Eat a bite for.me! Im dying on this liquid crap!

Very well said! I just thought it was worth mentioning that the body only absorbs 30grams per meal bcuz there are shake mixes I found that are 62 grams of protein but its over kill and a waste when u cant absorb it all. Thats more for body builders that have been doing it a while. Have a good day.....god bless.

So glad I read this! I am battling head hunger right now and not gonna lie...its a b*t*h!! I have had moments of weakness...I have chew up and spit out chicken as my dr has me on a full liquid clear diet....but no sf Jello no sf popsicles....nothing. ridiculously insane! Im feelin like I could cave! Wth....10days of this!?!? Im only on day 4?@#/^& im so screwed.

Mine is 7/15!!! In pullin for ya! Keep strong. We got this!

Grandma, how was surgery? Are you doing ok?

I am so struggling with this liquid diet. I chewed and spit a bite of chicken. Horrid I know. But I am really questioning if I am even strong enuff to do this or is this a sign of my weakness again? I cant even stay strong thru the liquid phase? Really? Who does that? Ugh. Depression is so not even the word.

So day 4 wasnt easy. I actually chewed up a bite of chicken and spit it out just to have a "taste" of it. Thats horrible. Tomorrow is day 5 and Thursday I am having a filter placed to prevent blood clots. So as bad as this is gonna make me look.... I am honestly addicted to food. I have to have something in my body or I feel I am gonna rip someone's face off. Please dont judge....I know I screwed up! Lol I'm beating myself up constantly for it. Its even made me question if I can really even be successful. depressed is being mild.

I did have comorbities. But.....I also had a bmi of 36. I think its anything over 40 they cover. I had to have a list of my morbidities and add to my bmi cause it wasnt high enuff.....but I also have 3 lung diseases and require alot of steroids. Dont sweat molina..... pqm is really good about getting it all approved. She would tell u if she couldnt do it

I have to be in the hosp from tues - fri maybe longer. I am having open rou ny. They are fixing 2 hernias and doing my bypass. So happy for this to finally be happening. Ty for the support! Need all I can get. I will continue to follow u in ur journey.
