  1. I thought I'd order my calcium citrate through the store. It's almost a month and it still hasn't shipped. I've tried to call almost daily and no one ever answers the phone or returns voice mails. It took my opening a paypal dispute and claim to get a response from them. I was told a week ago they would be shipped and still nothing. Then I was told it would ship by xmas eve. Still nothing. I finally asked for a refund. It's very disappointing because the store really does have a lot of things but I don't think I'll be putting my trust in them again.


  2. I'm 11 days post op and average 48 ounces of Water and my Protein Drinks. When I struggle with drinking I get a sugar free Popsicle it some Jello. I count calories but only because I'm using myfitnsspal ap to track water and Protein. I average 300-450 calories a day and have lost 18 lbs since the day of surgery.

    My thing is to always dip even if I don't want it since there is always that hour and half around your protein you can't drink so your losing that time. Even if I wake up in the middle of the night. Usually some protein since I'll be going back to bed and don't need to worry about waiting the allotted time to drink more water.

    You really need more fluids. Dehydration is no joke and you've come so far.

    Good luck.


  3. I was just approved last week and have United Healthcare.

    I did the 6 month supervised diet but was far away enough away from the bmi limit not to have to worry about it. But honestly if you are below the bmi and have no comorbidity that might be an issue.

    My Dr had.to fill out a form with my weights and what was discussed at each visit. I also had to provide the past 5 years of medical weigh ins.

    I'm scheduled for 11/17 and can not wait. It was a long and hard wait.

    Good luck!!!!!


  4. Finally got the call today that I'm approved! Surgery is scheduled for 11/17. I'm so excited. My nerves of waiting for the insurance are gone. But now the real nerves are setting in. It's amazing to think next year at this time I'll be a completely different person.


  5. Omg!!! I'm that person too. My packet was submitted on Monday too and I'm absolutely dying from anticipation. I called twice today! Today it says it's pending. That's helping but I was really hoping to have an answer by the weekend. I have United Health Care. Good luck. Hope we hear something soon!
