  1. Good luck! I've been fine up until today. I have a bit of nausea and a slight headache. Have not felt hunger at all. Although food commercials don't help haha Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App Yeah, I have a DVR do I can fast forward commercials. When I get hungry, I have chicken broth and that satisfies it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  2. My surgery is November 23rd also. The only shake I can tolerate is the chocolate premier protein. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  4. So far, I've only told my wife, daughter, my mom, my brother, and two friends who had the surgery. I may tell more people but for sure not until I have insurance approval first. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  5. I just started the process in Jan. I had my initial consult, general dietician meeting, liver ultrasound, labs, and Dr follow up visit to review my labs. I have a 6 month supervised weight management process with the dietician. My first visit is today which means my 6 months start today. I have my psych eval on Monday and my EGD on Tuesday. Hope to have surgery in Aug or Sept. I am going through the process in Ohio but have to fly to South Carolina for the surgery because of my insurance. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  6. @@sassyfrass23 I just started my process. I have UHC. I am so glad you posted this! I have my first dietician appointment today and will be in the office to ask about the 6 month pre approval for surgery. I would never have thought to ask this. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  7. No, I am not. Did I post something stupid?
  8. I have no idea the relationship between a mother and daughter but I suspect this has nothing to do with your weight. If it wasn't your weight, it would probably be your hair, or your teeth etc. People who typically do this are lashing out at you due to their personal inadequacies. Real or not. Perhaps her mother was very judgemental to her or her husband or someone else may have told her she was a bad mother and she sees your perceived flaws as her fault. Women are such beautifully complicated human beings. I pray you can show your mom some extra grace, as difficult as she can be. I pray you can let the words of hurt that have been spoken to you, drift away with the weight. I don't know you but you are such a strong person by getting this help to change your life. Forgive often, love without prejudice, and live life with no regrets! I wish you the best. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  9. I would look into if second hand smoke could cause it. If it does, ask him to smoke in the garage or outside till you're approved. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  10. I am wondering, do you live with someone who is a smoker, in the house? Could it be you are inhaling second hand smoke from that? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
