Congrats. It's likely the anesthesia. It should wear off soon.

I love to cook too. Even two months out. I made my wife the best French toast ever last night and stole only one bite. Turkey spaghetti for her last weekend. I have made veggie chili 4 times since surgery, and I came have that. If you want to, even during weight loss you can keep cooking.

Right when I got home. Weigh yourself immediately so you know what you have gained and have to lose again. I would have hated to not know I lost those pounds.

I had the same feelings. I just kept going over all of the reasons that I had gone through the process in my mind. I kept looking at the lists of NSVs and before/after pics on here. Two months later, I am happy and never looking back. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just because you are "eat what you want" doesn't mean you can't keep the bulk of your diet on the recent meal plan type diet through weight loss.

Health port records can be accessed online for a fee. You might call a couple of PI attorneys and offer a fee and expenses if they will access for you.

We were allowed Protein shakes pre-op w more sugar like the Kellogg's Special K shakes. They were good. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Very normal. You're doing great.

Grilled chicken would qualify as soft food on my plan and many others.

I was taking two lisinoprils each day prior to surgery. My surgeon said not to take them when I got home. If my BP was up after a few weeks, to get in touch with my primary care doc. My BP never went back up, and I haven't had a pill since August 3. I don't know your history or the meds you take, so check with your surgeon and/or PCP.

I was taking them the day after I was released. Crushed up citracal in apple sauce is not awesome.

We get to drink up to a meal. My nutritionists said there is no evidence that stopping 30 min prior to eating affected weight loss. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

We were on purée and soft foods at day 10. I'm not advocating not following your plan but you have most likely not injured yourself.

The pace is mostly set by your insurance requirements and yourself. The first appt you'll get a notebook with docs for the personal nutritionist visit and psych evaluation and what insurances they take. It will also be the first meeting w a doc or PA for your supervised diet. (I only had a PA once, others it was the head of the program). Blood work is also drawn first visit. Then it's fulfill your requirements and go monthly for sup diet. Took a few days to submit when I had completed everything but like I said I was sleeved about 10 days later. 7 day pre-op liquid diet and a progressive plan introducing foods sooner than I see a lot on here. Take your insurance info if you can get it online. Medical records not needed. Only time I waited was first visit and I think they forgot me. But every other time was quick. I don't think the bmi will speed it up. It's all about meeting your insurance requirements. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just get back on the wagon.

I was in an initial meeting within three weeks of calling on April 10th, had an insurance requirement on 3 month supervised diet, and was sleeved on Aug 4.

I went through Emory Bariatrics. I was sleeved on the 4th of August. It was great. I was able to do all of my insurance requirements with their help and the nutritionists are great and responsive. My surgeon was Jamil Stetler and he is awesome. I had zero complications and little pain. My incisions look great. I got approval in a week from my insurance and was sleeved about 10 days later. Feel free to dm me if you have specific questions. Good luck.

I had 9 lbs of added weight when I left the hospital after surgery so don't panic if it's more than a couple. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was liquid only for one week. Nutritionally, protein or fiber will keep you more full longer. After a few days it got a lot easier. Good luck.

Baritastic app. I set it for Vitamins only bc I'm in a rhythm w my Fluid and food. I don't need a reminder to take each Vitamin either but every once in a while i will get a notification and remember I haven't had my vitamins today. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
