I am addicted to Diet Coke. I have stopped drinking it because I figured that I better do that before surgery. I can understand the soda can cause some people to eat more because the food goes through pouch faster and makes you hungry faster. I have read about people drinking soda after surgery and gaining weight. Why take a chance?

Oh yes the junk food cravings are bothering me too. I have so far been able to avoid such foods. However, if someone brought donuts to work I might have a hard time too.

I'm trying to get my kitchen stocked with the foods I need after surgery. I don't need to do that until it gets closer to September 11. I have also given up Diet Coke (3 days now) and I am trying different types of Protein Shakes.

Hello @cookiemax when is your surgery?

I just got my insurance approval for RNY on September 11, 2017 in San Francisco, CA..

I have Anthem also. I just got approval for my gastric bypass. I had to get multiple letters from my PCP and go through a checklist of tests before I could be approved.

I am sorry about your nausea, so I hope it gets better fast. I worry about the nausea but I will just have to deal with it.
Cheers

Hi all,
This is a long journey to get to surgery at least that has been my experience. I start my liquid diet on August 28th. How is the liquid diet for you?

I have just cut my calories. I am using Protein Shakes and eating small portions. I am hungry but I hope after surgery that I won't be. I also didn't feel that I was losing anything until I stepped on the scale.

I'm waiting for Anthem BCBS to okay the surgery. My doctor seems to think that I have done everything on the list so I hope so. I did have to go through the hoops of 6 months working with my PCP on a diet. So I understand the feelings of waiting. I have my surgery September 11.
Good Luck

I have Anthem and I have had to do 6 months with my PCP about weight loss. My surgeon said that I had done all the requirements so I keep my fingers crossed. I have surgery in early September.

I tried the Plant Based diet after cancer surgery. I do not like vegetables but I learned to like cauliflowerand broccoli. I lost about 5 pounds on this diet. I found the diet to be difficult because I do not like tofu and leafy greens. One positive thing that came out of the diet is I like vegetables more. I am looking forward to my surgery in September.

Maybe we can start a Bay Area Group? Any suggestions?

I like the idea of sugar free syrups to add to my Protein Shakes.
Thanks
