Yummy!

My hospital charge was just processed $41,200 for hospital - 28 hours outpatient stay $29,000 approved $3000 my portion of cost --- eeeouch Not bad. Let's see what surgeon bill is when it comes in.

I have mid back pain and it was from the 25 pound loss so far. I also experienced same back pain when I was pregnant and gaining. And then again when I lost pregnancy weight. So large fluctuations cause me back pain All in same spot

Am 2.5 weeks out and I have dumped twice. I am sleeved. First time was last Saturday night. I ate 1 falafel and some hummus. Deep fried falafel and the oil in hummus well it was out of me within 30 minutes. Thank god I was home. Second time was 3 nights ago. I was told the frozen yogurt was sugar free. I triple asked and triple assured. They lied. I had 3 bites and 1 hour later I was again losing everything. It does happen with the sleeve and if you follow the diet should be fine. I thought the hummus would've been ok in purée atafe. The falafel i are only a little of and only insides. Well love and learn.

I was told 1 piece of fruit a day starting next week. But not evry fruit. Kiwi banana peaches apricots no skins no dried fruits Blueberries as well I can add to yogurt No yogurt with fruit in it though

Have you called blue and ask them why they denied it? Speak to them and save your money Sometimes I find that if you just talk to the rep they can tell you bullet point by bullet point what was missed in the submission Since you stated your surgeons team is acting lackadaisical it's possible (very possible) that they missed something In the filing. That happens more often than you think.

I lost 15 pounds on my preop diet Two shakes a day and raw veggies 1 dinner of lean meats No carbs I did this for two weeks

Ask your doc for anti nauseau meds

Are you drinking? Your body may be in starvation mode. Are you eating protein only or still doing carbs?

What type of canned chicken did you use? Can I replace it with leftover rotisserie?

Absolutely I will PM you

I haven't lost the feeling of being hungry and am 2 weeks out. What i do notice however is that if I get hungry then I tend to eat to fast and overeat. I would recommend you try to eat every 2-3 hours and just make it small. I know you don't want to but you have to consider your health first. The rest will work itself out. You may just want to sip on Protein shakes on and off too. Good luck. I am sorry that you are undergoing this. I hope you come out on the other side an even better and stronger you. And I know you will!

Does walking help? It may be gas.

Good for you. My doc told me at te hospital at discharge not to worry about counting anything just get in my fluids and some Protein shakes. As much as possible and aim for 24 ounces of liquid a day. That was no problem really

Target sells it. Peanut butter aisle then look up to the top shelf. Should be there

My first visit was 20 minutes with surgeon and I got a checklist of all things I needed to do when I was ready to start. I was ready 3 months post that. I came back met with a new surgeon and that lasted maybe 30 minutes. And then started NUT, psych etc

Make sure you're walking around to relieve the gas. I wore a path in my living room until i felt good enough to go outside. You may also want to ask surgeon for anti nausea meds

Congratulations!!!

Yes installed out for 6 days when I started purée I also had a auntie flo in town so no loss for a week! I drank about 1 ounce prune juice mixed with Water that worked and then flo left town and then I started losing again Sunday night.

I tried adipex p which is phentermine. I hated it. It's basically speed. I felt totally wired up. No I was not that hungry with it but you can only use it a short time without effects to your kidneys. I lost 12 pounds first time and as soon as I stopped I put them right back on and then some

I did have hernia repair and had those spasms when I overate but not during drinking. I think it was more I was overrating than anything else

Worked just fine for me at 240

Not one of my posts. 2 weeks po today and I can do about 3 ounces of Protein per meal most days. Today was not one of those days ???????? I don't think this is the plan forever but ok for now and I do a Protein shake a day for next 2 weeks. Then occasionally after that.

To bar them from excluding something due to fine print, be safe not sorry. Just wait until you are on the plan. Will it be much longer?

High weight was 240 and was at 235 when preop started. Surgery weight two weeks later was 222
