My new insurance also wants 7 months of classes im on month 5 honestly its gone by super quick I can't even wrap my head around how fast time fly's between appointments. I really think your gonna do great you have a good attitude about all of this

I'm still preop but I am going to get bypass because I have diabetes and pcos and want to resolve those issues

As for protein shakes you want isolate to be the first ingredient and you want less than 7 grams of sugar and 10 grams of protein per 50 calories

I'm still preop but my diet before surgery will be three weeks no starches high protein and two days prior clear liquids only and npo at midnight

I try to avoid white carbs I'm still preop so my strategy may change after bypass

i have simalar stats to you i am 5'3'' and about 275 right now and even though sometimes i have the thoughts your having i know that with out a doubt i need this and its time to do something for me. i have severe sleep apnea and i really want to get rid of my cpap machine.

my best advice for you is to see if your hospital has an online info session. mine did and it was a half hour video that i watched and then took a short quiz to make sure i paid attention. also i am going thru a center of excellence and i do my monthly weigh ins with the nut. its good because we can talk about all the dietary changes for after surgery

well i am on month 5/7 and i finally get to meet my new nut. im pretty happy with the care team i have going forward and my surgeon rocks. well i am on month 5/7 and i finally get to meet my new nut. im pretty happy with the care team i have going forward and my surgeon rocks.

well today i have my psych eval required by my insurance and drs office and i will bring up the meds issue then. also my psych np used to do evals for bariatric patients so she has some idea of what will and wont work when the time comes i hope

i was initially going to go with sleeve as i thought it was the less invasive of the two as well. but then when i took a long hard look at my lifestyle and exercise habbits along with being a diabetic and having pcos i decided to go with bypass. im really happy with my surgeon and i know i only want to have wls one time so i might as well go with the gold standard

i have galstones but my surgeon is leaving mine in and says only about 1/4 of people will have issues post op and if it becomes an issue for me we can deal with it later

wow your so close just keep at it

my surgeon doesnt require a liquid diet but basically for 3 weeks prior to surgery no starches of any kind and then the last two days prior clear liquids only and npo at midnight

ive been looking and i saw a months supply of the twinlab vitamins for about 40 bucks on amazon. i plan on using the new centrum vitamints and as far as i can tell they are about 14 bucks for a months supply they are chewable. the calcium pearls from citrical which are like 12 bucks for a whole month and i havent priced out the b-12 i will need also i am buying some chewable biotin which is like 10 bucks for two months

You can get them at vitamin shoppe and amazon

Honestly for me I'm proud to say when I've lost weight because its an accomplishment

My plan says no caffeine for a year as it can mess with your new pouch

We live with a roommate and he loves meals that don't require a lot of effort or energy to make so we always have rice soup and pasta in the house I just choose to cook meat and the side of veggies and rice or pasta and not eat the carbs

If anybody wants to friend me I'm jessfress2 on myfitnesspal

My nut said to avoid the protein shots because they aren't complete protein and don't give you what you need

I'm still preop but I've always been a breakfast eater right now I'm eating eggs or jimmy dean brkfast sandwiches but once I have rny ill probably have a shake for breakfast

Have any of you tried biofreeze for your pain. I'm a massage therapist and also have degenerative disk disease and sciatica and I swear by this its basically icy hot just without the hot part its a topical analgesic that comes in a spray can now. You have to get it at a drs office though

I have private insurance and Medicaid as my secondary and so far they have picked up the tab for copays and such for my primary I have private insurance and Medicaid as my secondary and so far they have picked up the tab for copays and such for my primary

Welcome i am in month 4 of 7 for insurance purposes and time has flown by. My biggest price of advice to you is to look into the post op lifestyle eating habits and start trying to emulate those in your life

I'm in a similar situation with my brother he's an adict and for that reason I need to keep my distance because I just can't deal with his drama. I haven't been in the same room with him in 3 years and I haven't had more than a two minute conversation with him in over two it breaks my heart that the person who I used to call my bed friend is a stranger
