My coworker sells it. I got strawberry and chocolate. I made strawberry and it was sickeningly sweet. I checked the sugar and wow! The sugar is a lot and the carbs are a lot! They are grainy and not tasty and I won't do them again.

Amen!

Welcome Sarah! I use myfitness pal to track everything. I love it. Highly recommend I am doing walking and riding stationary bike I alternate. And I do some bicep curls. I am 9 weeks out and have lost 45 total

Stop sending appeals. They only allow 1 Have the surgeon office call and request a peer to peer review. That is when clinical staff talk to clinical staff.

Are you worried because you think 40 is not enough that people are bigger and lost more and they are more succesful ? I think you sell yourself short

Am 2 months out -6/24- and I eat evry 2.5/3 hours or I find myself a starvin marvin Breakfast at 830/900 (3 ounces oatmeal or Special K or 4 ounces yogurt) Snack 11 (usually cheese or deli meat or a piece of fruit) lunch 1-130 (today was a really whopping meatball couldn't finish it) Snack 3:30-400 (roasted chick peas and 1 ounce beef jerky) dinner never beyond 7 ( hanger steak today. Will see how that goes in a few minutes) If I go beyond 7 I get really bad acid.

I would love to know how you're getting 1000 calories at a month out? I can barely get to 700 and was sleeved 6/24 I've lost 45 pounds and am not really counting calories. I use my fitness pal to track and am managing all my protein. Come up short usually on water and calories are low.

You know not every who seals surgery comes on this site. So some folks complain and vent and have complications. But there are many more who don't. And they all aren't actively posting here so you can't go by that. I've had a wonderful experience. This site prepared me for the worst and I've had none of it. Worst part is acid and some days are worse than others. But so what?!?!?! I am wearing a size 14 dress. I've lost 45 pounds in 3 months. I no longer have the need of an asthma inhaler multiple times a day and no more blood pressure pills.

There are two empire plans in NY for state and city employees. Please be clear which is yours. They make it confusing on purpose. There is empire bcbs and there is the empire plan from united health. So which is yours?

Chest pains could be gas. Sip slowly no gulping and walk. A lot! The walking should alleviate the gas pains

Sounds fishy. Is call and complain and have them tell you why they're billing you?

Drank too fast?

I do Like you Ann!

Hi jenn. Hope you got eberything worked out. Give us an update

Like a baby !

I am on omeprazole 40mg twice a day and still have acid Water or any drink seems to make it worse. I've done crystal light, lemon, lime, fruits, ice tea, coffee, milk. Etc Milk for some reason keeps acid at bay longest but not long enough. I pop tums like candy. Ready for a new ppi I started 40mgs twice a day just two weeks ago. Missed two doses on a business trip this week and it flared up massively. My surgeon didn't think I was having acid but more overrating San drinking. Got news for him

The amount true Arabic /Islamic restaraunts put on top can be a lot! There was a good 3-4 tablespoons

No need to do a letter at first submission. You wil need it if denied for the appeal

I am 5'6 and have some size 16 still on the house I think. Will check. I now work at home so I don't need the business dress anymore

Qualifying means eligibility for financial assistance. You can buy it anytime you want it from any carrier who offers it without financial assistance provided by the government

That's great! Good luck and tell the office next time to offer encouragement through this process. Not discouragement and floggings. Now remember no net gain! Seen too many people going through issues with that so keep up the good work and make it happen.

Ok take a step back a moment. Did your insurance tell YOU that they would deny if you didn't lose weight? And when are they looking for this weight loss? Does it include the pre op liquid diet where you will lose 10-15 pounds? I never believe office people. I get this from the horses mouth. Some doctors offices require a weight loss. Not the insurance. Go talk to them.

Get other insurance! Take advantage of obamacare open enrollment in October. Do the research of who covers what and get prepared. Pick up the other coverage and the drop it after.

I took it for about a week at a month out. Made me have such horrible acid I had to stop. I still have acid and heartburn constantly but my stomach just can't deal with actigall

It's great from grocery store but if you go to an Islamic restaraunt as I did 2 weeks out and it has a humongous amount of olive oil take a pass
