Iam in the same boat. I need some one to support me. I have no one. Insurance wants me to lose 15 pounds before surgery. Why is this so hard?? Iam getting more and more depressed. My insurance company is getting frustrated with me. Help Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Iam thinking of a diet pill Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I live alone, so I don't know if I snore or have sleep apnea. I told my doctor, I don't think I do, so she did not order a sleep study. But, what if I do? I would freak out wearing one of those masks at night that help you breath. I am severely claustrophobic and I toss and turn all night. I sleep on my side too, never my back. Is anyone else having some of these issues too? Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I haven't had surgery yet, but was thinking about doing the Protein shakes before surgery Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Thank you Bufflehead, for your reply. The makes me feel better. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

If I could do a pre op diet for 6 months, I wouldn't need surgery. They did tell me they wanted me to lose 15 pounds. I know that's not much, but Iam having a tough time losing even 5 pounds. I have chronic pain and depression. That may be interfering. I got off the pain pills because I believe they were leading me to put on even more weight, but now, the pain is excruciating, which makes me want comfort food. Ugghhh Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Is there a 6 month diet we are supposed to go on before surgery? Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

The best advice I have received so far is to drink more Water and slow down my eating. I have no support. I don't think Iam going to make my 6 month goal, Iam depressed and getting more depressed all the time Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I have a hard time getting support, and learning new ways to control my emotional eating. They tell you to meet with a physical therapist, nutrionist and counselor. So far, no one is teaching me any skills. Just telling me to eat slower and drink more Water. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Uggghhh, I don't think I could handle it Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. Iam wondering if iam less hungry, I'll eat less. I was thinking of just going to the store and buying pre packaged meals, like lean cuisine. Iam ok planning in the morning, but the rest of the day is hard. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Good question, I would be interested. I know they have liquid Vitamins you can take Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I am having a lot of trouble losing the 15 pounds, my Molina insurance wants me to lose to quality for surgery. I was in a couple car accidents a few years back and suffered a tramatica brain injury. It was the frontal lobe area. This has to do with plnning. I can't for the life of me plan my meals. On top of that I have a bad knee. I got off the pain pills because I think they were attributing to my weight gain. So, I was wondering if a diet pill would help me lose the 15 pounds before surgery. I think once I have the sugery, things will be easier. I know surgery is just a tool, but I really believe they cut out a lot of the grelin hormone out and possibly other hormones as well. I believe that weight issues are very entwined and everybody is different and so many things can snow ball. Things can go from bad to worse and all of the sudden, your so heavy, you can't move and then you have to ride those electric carts at walmart. And then, you get so darn depressed, all you want is comfort food and then you beat your self for messing up your diet and then you get depressed, ecetera, etc. And then the way our society looks and treats its over weight population is sad. Any suggestions anyone has about the diet pill or anything else be would be greatly appriciated. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Does anyone know what needs to be done before surgery, if you are self pay? I have Molina insurance right now, but that may change. Does molina require way more stuff to do before surgery? Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App
