It's going pretty good. I'm about a month into it ...I have kern familys currently .Hows the sleeve treating you?

I'm in Bakersfield. Sleeved 9/3/15 ????

hey! I'm doing the 6 month medically supervised diet right now..

I've found I can only eat the oikos triple 0 peach or strawberry. I can not stand any other flavors lol. I just tasted a few until I found the ones I could stand.

I'm not much on yogurt, but I did stumble on that Oikos Triple Zero Greek stuff during the months leading up to my pre-op diet.

I stress that I don't care for yogurt in general.....but this stuff is great.

I'm glad I found out about it. It needs nothing extra to taste really good.

My husband who hasn't had any surgery and isn't overweight (brat lol). Loves the triple zero yogurt too. He actually likes almost all the "healthy" food that I'm eating also. Like the veggie chips (pre op) even my broth I drank lol.

veggie chips? Do you make them or buy them I'm trying to healthy stuff I like ..it's a process

These were before surgery. They were the Veggie Straws from the grocery store. I'll be 7 weeks this Wednesday and should be released to eat home made veggie chips! (Hopefully) lol!!

I'm doing the 6 month medically supervised diet. So I'm going to try these! Thank you ! I hope you get cleared to eat the homemade version veggie chips!

@@StephOnTheMove I'm so sorry you didn't get the response you'd hoped for but I agree with the others here. Your NUT only has your best interest at heart. Since she said you can have pudding, I have a solution for you which can help you get your Protein in and not stress the stitches of your new pouch. There are several flavors to choose from so that should help as well. If I were you, I'd blend it a little longer so it's thinner

Premier Protein pudding Cups or Pops

Prepare pudding according to package directions replacing milk with chocolate Premier Protein shake. I prefer to use my NutriBullet. If using shaker, shake for 3 minutes or until thickened slightly. Pour into ½ cup containers for pudding cups. For frozen pops, pour into Jello pudding pop or any popsicle molds. Jello molds hold 1/3 cup each. Pudding cups set in 5 minutes and freezer pops in approx. 2-3 hours. Any flavor sugar-free fat-free pudding works, so get creative and enjoy!

I love love this idea thank you!

Misty, all my insurance required was that I see my dr once every 30 days and talk about NOTHING AND I MEAN NOTHING but my weight! How it affects my daily life blah blah blah...it's basically a bi7ch fest about how fat I am for a few minutes. Next she asks what are you going to change this month to try to lose some? Last month I said "I'll ask for non fat milk in my lattes and walk up and down my street a few times a week." She then suggests a low carb diet and I leave. Easy peasy! BUT, whatever you weighed at your PCP office, DONT GO OVER!! You can lose but don't gain!!! Also don't lose so much that your bmi goes below qualifying.

thank you!

Just curious what did your guys 6 month of medically supervised diet consist of ...that's what I have to do. I'm just anticipating my first appointment with the surgeon on the 23rd!

Goto the fair or magic mountain and be able to ride the rides!

I just added you ruby woo

This makes me so nervous I go see my primary care physician to get a referal on the 25th im scared he will say no also

Went to a NUT...she said Lapbandvproblems is rampant...all kinds of complications .Many of her patients have all sorts of problems.

Not just me!!!

After going to the seminar .im now planning on getting the sleeve . I'm still researching and looking at the bypass . I'm not getting the lapband though.

Check out Alex's post about what to expect or look for in follow up care

I can't find it so I just search vwhat to expect or look for in follow up care...

Honestly I would choose bypass or sleeve for you my Surgeon doesn't even do the band anymore with 180 pounds to lose I'm thinking more bypass. I have 140 to lose but I am getting sleeve but that's just because I don't want dumping syndrome

I went to my seminar and i did a lot of research and I also am going to get the sleeve. I go on the 25th to get a referal to goto the surgeon and after that I have to do a 6 month medically supervised diet .(im surprised my insurance covers it.I went into the seminar thinking I would have to selfpay well at least I have money for cosmetic surgery after!)

I used to take Prozac and I noticed that I was slowly gaining weight . so they switch me to welbutrin and latuda it's working even better then the Prozac was for me..

So lucky I'm about to start my 6 month diet..I'm really excited about this whole process ! Can I ask you a couple questions . what was the diet they put you on? How much weight did you have to loose?

Make sure you talk with your surgeon about possible complications, healing time, lifestyle before and after, and which surgery will give you personally the best chance of success. Do your own research too!

If you're just beginning the journey, you have some time to decide while complete all of your insurance company and surgeon's requirements for surgery.

Personally, I didn't decide on the bypass until my very last appointment with my surgeon. I told him everything I'd learned through research and he confirmed it would give me the best chance of success. Now I'm scheduled for 9/21.

I promise you'll figure it out! Best of luck!!

Thank you.

im 28 older then most of yall ...im going to my seminar tomorrow im so excited! what can I expect tomorrow.any advice on questions to ask?

Sorry this may sound stupid but the RNY is the gastric bypass right?

Thank you soo much ! I'm going on Tuesday to the seminar. I'm so excited! I don't have any medical problems. But I have been overweight my whole life basically. I just had a baby July 9th and want to be able to get on the floor and play with him And run and play with him when that time comes.

Okay so starting off this journey I wanted to get the lapband. But after talking to a few people, they've said that the lapband is for people that only want to loose 40-60 lbs. Is this correct? Because I'm. 28 year old 5'4 and 325lbs and my bmi is 55. So that being said which surgery would be the best for me to achieve a weight loss of 180lbs so I would be a healthy weight. Thank you in advance!

I'm in bakersfield aswell!

me!! Im in Bakersfield ca I haven't gotten the surgery yet but im going to the seminar on the 8th. Im self pay so I don't know what the process is even.
