raec81 got a reaction from chavezmommy in Eating Enough
I had my surgery in January 30th 2015. Since then I've lost around 130. I just found out I am pregnant and somewhere around 4 weeks. I'm so excited. I have PCOS so I never thought this would happen. I'm also nervous. Any tips on being able to eat enough. I still can't eat a lot. Protein still fills me up so quick. I'm nervous because this pregnancy is important to me and I want to be able to do the right things.

I'll have to try chili without the crackers lol. I used to put so so many crackers in it. Was more like would you like chili with your crackers? Lol

raec81 got a reaction from dreamgirl1 in Nausea and Vomiting
You're not alone. I didn't stay sick but since having the surgery 6 months ago I've had days where no matter what I did or ate I was just sick. It happens far less now though but I still have the occasional day. I did tell my doctor and you should as well but everyone is different. For me it was my new norm for a little while. Now it's been about two weeks since I've felt that way.

raec81 got a reaction from TexasGirl86 in Hair Loss :(
Sadly I'm now going through those. I have natural curly hair so I don't want to cut it but I may have to soon. It's so bad I'm always picking hair off my shirts.

raec81 got a reaction from shannalynne in Baby fever?
It definitely has me. Sadly I'm nowhere near far enough out so I plan on waiting. I do plan on trying as soon as I can safely though lol

raec81 got a reaction from Weighting2BeFree in Talk Clothes and Style to Me!
For now I am buying just enough to get by without looking bad at work. Something I wore last week now falls off so it's hard to invest too much in it. Once I get closer to goal I will invest a little more at a time.

raec81 got a reaction from alicia54 in Water with meals ?
For me I get nauseated if I drink anything with food. I do on occasion take a tiny sip of Water just to moisten my mouth but never more than that otherwise I pay for it. I've actually thrown up because of it before I learned my lesson.

raec81 got a reaction from alwaysvegas in Clothing size
I had surgery on January 30th. I started in a very tight 24 and 3x tops, now I'm into a size 18 and XL or 2X tops depending on the type. I can also wear kids shoes now! Lol

raec81 got a reaction from GeminiSleever in Post op day three: sensitive taste and smell
Sadly I'm the same way right now. I am really sensitive to smells right now as well as taste. Things don't taste the same. I can't wait until this part fixes itself!

raec81 got a reaction from mrsmith901 in Finally!
My first attempt at approval was a long, disappointing headache. We submitted to BCBS and they denied it saying I didn't have a co morbid when their criteria clearly stated BMI of 40 and greater or 35 and a co morbid. At the time mine was around 50. We appealed and proved our case but they then admitted I was a candidate but denied it due to administrative error. There were no errors. The next option was a state fair hearing which we pursued to get the run around. By this time it was open enrollment so I switched to WellCare. During all of this I finished the 6 month diet because BCBS only required 3. My insurance started the 1st of January. My doctors office submitted my packet on the 5th. Yesterday! This morning we got the approval. I am beside myself right now. I go in Thursday to get a date!
