Super Bowl food/drink
jen31378 replied to bossportsgal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved 12/5 so Christmas was 3 weeks after that. My surgeon said it was ok for me to have a few sips of wine. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Same here. I'm 7 weeks out and I'll have a small glass or two a few nights a week. It's weird, when I tried Riesling (sweet higher sugar white wine for those who don't know) it never really hit me. I thought something was wrong with me and I still had my tolerance from before surgery. But as soon as I tried a drier red and white it definitely hits me faster. I just go slow and enjoy it.

Occasional Mixed Drink?
jen31378 replied to Chris1971's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'd say if you're going the mixed drink route make sure your mixer is low/no cal/carb. Diet juice, seltzer, Crystal Light (awesome mixer, used it while on Weight Watchers), etc. -
Occasional Mixed Drink?
jen31378 replied to Chris1971's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My NUT and surgeon both said I was fine to have a few sips of wine at Christmas time and I was sleeved 12/6/16. Now I'll have a small glass or two several nights a week, but it hasn't hampered my weight loss and I take the calories and carbs into consideration. -
Freaking out...just a little. Help.

Can you post a couple examples of your daily meals? Are you drinking enough liquids and (sorry, personal) are you going #2 regularly? -
Anyone interested in finding local pals?

This does not seem like normal loss!

Why don't you post up what you have been eating for the last week. Maybe we can spot some ways to help you. Agreed. That could help a lot. -
I'm on day one of the pre-op diet. I have to do it for 14 days. I haven't gotten much sleep the past few days so I'm crazy tired and not having coffee is painful. Does anyone know why we can't have caffeine on the liver shrinking diet?

Just curious. It would be nice to hear your story and compare experiences. My surgeon is Dr. Garza out of Aurora Summit. Surgery is scheduled for Dec 5, but still waiting to have last psych appt and get approved by insurance (Tricare). Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Anyone from the Milwaukee area?
jen31378 replied to jen31378's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have Tricare as my husband is retired military. So far I've just had to pay minimal copays and it seems like it shouldn't be too hard to get approved. I have my last psych apt tomorrow, then my package will be submitted for approval. My surgeon's office already scheduled my surgery for 12/5 since their appointments were filling up so let's hope Tricare approves it quickly! I'm having the sleeve as well. -
Anyone getting Sleeved in December

I've gained about 15 lbs since this whole process began and I'm worried Tricare won't approve my surgery. Life has been crazy stressful and eating healthy has been a huge challenge. Anyone have experience with this? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Sorry for my random tiny print lol

But don't they look at your weight from each visit? I was assuming the doctor's office sends all of the visit summaries to the insurance companies...

Great info, thanks!
