    Jersrose43 got a reaction from pvechiola in Experiences with Phentermine?   
    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

    Jersrose43 got a reaction from Christina T. in Insurance denied revision to bypass from sleeve   
    Bs you can't appeal it
    Of course you can. What state are you jn?
    Appeal it to the insurance commissioner
    State that insurance prohibited you appeal rights
    Then clearly state why you need the surgery all he medical reasons why.
    Do not refer to prior complications they paid for
    State where and how you meet today's medical guidelines
    Before you appeal request a copy of the medical policy so you can attach it. Make sure you meet every required point in it

    Sometimes you lose relationships on this journey and I have. Kept the best ones and the ones that matter the rest left and took a lot of drama inducing bs with them

    I don't think you were ready nor appropriately prepared for a lifestyle change
    This is a way of life not a diet. Not temporary.
    I hope the new clinician helps you.
    Find a nutritionist who is experienced with bariatric patients and maybe they can provide the eating support you need.
    And finally join an eating addiction group. I never considered myself a candidate but guess what. I sure as heck am. I see it and I want to eat it!!

    Jersrose43 got a reaction from snokb04 in Struggling :(   
    I was sleeved June 24 and here are some things I've been doing to overcome this mental torture see if it helps you. I am in purée stage until Monday. Then soft foods
    First I made a commitment to myself that only 1 meal will be cooked In this house. No special diet for me that's different. It makes me depressed.
    Everyone is eating high Protein and low carb. Lean meats.
    I just purée mine and sit with them. It makes me feel better to know we are all eating the same thing. Mine just looks a little different.
    I've scoured Pinterest, skinnytaste and other sites looking for great recipes for the family that I can have puréed.
    I am Portuguese Which although Mediterranean has a lot of carb/starch based foods. And I miss them. So I've actively been working on changing the recipes and fiddling so I can have certain things in my new life. Not all have been succesful but give me a break 2.5 weeks!
    On the days kids has friends over and they all want pizza. Well I made myself a dish of warmed ricotta with some provolone and Parmesan and added a spoonful of pizza sauce - 2% mozzarella melted on top -- and well not exactly pizza. It killed my desire.
    I have found it's easier to try and make everything normal and just purée myself. That's all.

    These are all things your surgeon requires to ensure a successful outcome. This is major surgery and lifestyle change. You have a surgeon who wants to ensure success.

    Reading between the lines but if your friends all had some form of WLS and they're running a support group and all had same surgeon as you. It seems like they've taken the perspective that you are blaming their doctor for your negative experience. They're probably thinking you knew there were potential for a challenge to this surgery. There are many who don't have as wonderful experience as others.
    It is unfortunate that you are having a rough road but perhaps you need to stop talking to them about the surgeon. It really isn't the surgeons fault this happened unless he did something negligent which you didn't say he did. But they feel you are saying it to them.
    Just stop discussing the surgeon and laying blame there. It is what it is and you're getting better. You don't need them to listen to you assign blame. You need them to support you. Which to me is more about getting you the right nutrition, the right sources to help you through this.
