Hi Nicole, yes I did gain about 2lbs, then lost it again but have stalled for little over a week. I've been told this is perfectly normal and your body is trying to adjust and figure things out. Feel free to keep in touch!

Thanks for the clarification and you are still doing amazing. I feel a little better now lol

I'm confused, you said you started the journey in January, so I am assuming you lost before surgery? How much did you lose after surgery. 90lbs is amazing no matter when you started, I am just celebrating my 3 month and I am almost to 50 and know I will never lose 40 more in two months so just jealous lol. Congratulations on being so successful.

Hey all. This past Sunday 9/6/15 was my 5 month surgiversary!! I have lost 90 lbs since starting my journey back in January. I've gone from a size 16/18 2XL to size 8/M.
To Celebrate my 5 month surgiversary, I ran the Disneyland Half Marathon! I completed 13.1 miles in 3:00:49 and smiled the entire course! It was incredible. I went from someone who once had a full blown meltdown trying to run a half mile exercise to someone who eats miles for Breakfast. I never ever thought I would see this day. So happy to have been granted this second chance at life and I'm glad to report I am using it to the fullest! I'm already registered for another run and contemplating two more.   

This has to be a hoax, there is no way someone took the time to have WLS and thinks like this

Honestly, given the severity of the situation and the amount of money, I would recommend you stop asking strangers on the internet (if only because we can't possibly know the complexities of the contracts, your policy coverage, etc) and go see a lawyer. Paying a very small nominal fee for a consultation may save you a lot of money. Go to an expert who does this for a living.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I got stuck with an additional 700 dollar bill and was upset, but your case definitely puts things in perspective. Good luck.

Listen to your team BUT also listen to your body. It's great that everyone can say what works for them but that might work for you. Vitamins Water protein then veg if you can. My NUT said I should introduce some Pasta now.... not in a million years! Don't agree with that at all so not about to do it ! Read the forums.. take a pinch of common sense and what your body is telling you and you will get there in the end. Best wishes!

Are the hospital and Dr out of network?
Well first call the hospital billing department. Tell them how much you can afford to pay a month, so your credit isn't ruined while you fight with this.
Also anything surgery related doesn't make sense. Escalate with Blue Cross.

I don't have children at home, so made my hubby cook for himself. It is still hard no matter what you have to do, I was on straight liquids for the full 2weeks. One tip that helped me tremendously was when I started craving food I drank bouillon cube in 16 oz liquid, gives you the savory feeling without cheating. I feel for you, but it is possible, go walk around the block or something to distract you when it gets really bad and the bouillon doesn't seem to work.

Our journey is slightly different after 50 and I thought it would be a great thing to start a group that dealt with issues 50+. Feel free to come join the group. No one will be excluded but it is going to be a majority of 50+ journeys. Pre and Post op are welcome and would love to have some Veterans too! Here is the link to the group:

Hey. I was sleeved on June 8th here in New Brunswick, Canada. I have had no issues at all with surgery and recovery, and have no issues at all with my Protein intake with the help of the Premier Protein bars and shakes (1 a day) and Water can at times be a struggle, but always close to where I need to be.
Having a hard time with all the comments as I have hidden behind my weight so long. I am only weighing myself once a month so I guess today is going to be my second weigh in. I'll post my current weight and stats soon.
Glad to have found this thread!!!
Go June 8th Sleevers!!!!!!

I also had an extreme aversion to sweet stuff post op until about 5 weeks out. I couldn't eat a SF popsicle or even a yogurt without it tasting sickenly sweet. Try finding Isopure liquid, the one in the glass bottle and dilute it down. I diluted it more than half. Everyone will tell you to get your Protein in but honestly I only got about 40gms in one Isopure the first 5 weeks and then the rest came from blended lentil Soups, blended cottage cheese and refried Beans with melted cheese. The first 4 weeks your taste can change drastically, its very common! Right now the most important thing you can do is keep sipping as much as possible all day long! Follow the guidelines as best as possible but remember everyones
transition time (4-6weeks) can be very different. You are going to do great just don't stress about it right now!

May I use, gene pro Protein Powder in cream based Soup to get Protein?

Now you know where that phrase led us the last time LMAO!
