Hi All, I had the RNY on 8/23 and have yet to feel full or determine what restriction feels like. I just had moist eggs for the first time and after a few bites I started to burp.... Any suggestions?

Got it, thanks!

Thank you for all your prospectives..very much appreciated.

Would it still be considered cheating if I ate a low-fat mozzarella stick or a egg? Even though I am on a liquid diet and I know the whole point is to shrink my liver and start ketosis but I'm wondering if I can eat those things at least this week before my surgery on Aug 23 and still induce ketosis?

Hey all! In preparation for my surgery I was wondering if any of you have any recommendations or experience with Vitamin Patches? Yay or nay? Just wondering if they work just as good d taking the actual vitamin. Thanks!

Aug 23 for me! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Hi All, My Dr's office submitted my paperwork to my insurance company Blue Shield last Monday. They came back requesting more info pre and post weight/BMI? We finally understood they were asking for my info pre and post lap band. I had it placed in 2006 and removed in 2009/2010. I removed it since it just didn't work and we wanted to start a family. My question is do any of you have any experience with insurance companies denying based upon past failures? I don't feel this should even be an issue for them and not sure why they ate linking into it,so any insight would be great thanks. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Thank you @j16...I think I need to just put a cork in it lol Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Thank you guys so much. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it, I actually had to gain weight to be qualified because I've been on diet pills for so long to lose or at least try to maintain a weight loss. But what's happened now is that I got into the practice of no longer limiting myself now I find myself giving into my cravings and my appetite has increased tremendously. So my weight is fine right now I just didn't know if we had any problems down the road after insurance approved me. Thanks! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Hi All, I just met my all requirements and it will be submitted to my insurance on Monday (fingers crossed). What I'm trying to determine is at what point do they reweigh you? I'm going on a vacation and scared to death that I'm going to gain some weight (last hoorah-recognizing that the last 39 years have been a hoorah, hence me getting into this position). I'm hoping that if my insurance approves and go on the 2 wk liquid preop...I might lose anything additional I might add. If you feel that gaining any weight would be detrimental I would appreciate your POV. Thank you! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App
