Had my first drink last night. Ordered a mojito. WAY to sugary. Any ideas on something else?

If you get some very large ones, will they go away on their own or do you have to seek medical assistance? I'm using coolant cream, tucks medicated pads and still softener. They just hurt.

So heading into the real foods. I know what my daily Water and Protein intake should be. What are the numbers to not go over for carbs and sugar. I have tons of info from my Dr but can't quite find the answer to that question. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I need a flavorless Protein powder to put on food, in yogurt etc..... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How do you know how much Protein you get from food? I made a scrambled egg and ate 3 bites. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Scheduled for sleeve. Will I ever be able to enjoy a bite or 2 of the foods I love later on postop? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Can you have sugar free hot chocolate on the preop diet? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Read about this surgery. I'm in the process of getting a sleeve. Curious as to why you want to go to this. Did the sleeve not work for you? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Was wondering if anyone has experienced their shoe size changing with weight loss. If so, how many sizes? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Out of Missouri. My insurance says it won't pay one cent towards weight loss surgery for anyone. Is this normal? I understand not having the entire thing covered but not a penny? Has anyone else ran into this? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

They told me I could not have surgery unless I have a BMI of 35 with a comorbidity. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you for the responses. Just trying to keep my BMI above 35. I'm private pay so insurance isn't an issue. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. I'm scheduled for the nutritionist and surgeon appointment but it's not til October. Will definitely ask then. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I see many posts about potential sleevers that are required to lose a certain amount of weight before surgery. This is different from the preop liquid diet. My question is that the case for everyone. I'm an under 40 BMI soon to be sleeved. Was curious if I'll be placed on a diet. 5'7, 250 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
