  3. Anytime Ann. Happy to see others are doing well. This is whole new chapter in life and there are big adjustments to be made and maintained. Remember its about you and how you feel. Best to all!
  4. I was sleeved on 7.19.16 i lost 20 lbs prior to surgery. I started eating smaller portions 5x a day. Each meal was 15 carbs our less carb master yogurt, premier shakes 1-2x a day. And a shake is a meal. It really helps with the liquid diet prior to surgery. My starting weight was 283 at surgery day it was 263 and current weight is 235 Good luck!

  5. I too have issues meat i don't eat meat every day and beef is the worst it's the hardest to digest. There are meat alternatives such as Jack fruit and tofu fixed right it's just like ground or shredded beef. Sent from my LGLS775 using the BariatricPal App
  6. That's normal for some people I am 5 weeks post op and still have issues with mealtime but when you find a food or meal that works write out down and make it your go to. I used to love beef now i can't eat it without feeling sick but i can eat the tofu and rice at Chipotle and feel great afterward albeit not much Chipotle ????

  9. Pay attention to your carbs and portions. Every month i go up a couple of pounds and then go back down. I do usr my scale nearly every day it keeps me motivated do if I'm up. I watch what i eat for a couple of days. I may even go back to my soft food diet for a couple of days. Also if you are experiencing heart ???? your portions are likely to big. Sometimes i have tho eat my meals in 2 shifts half now and the other half o.k. an hour or so. Drink drink drink nest of luck. Sent from my LGLS775 using the BariatricPal App
  10. I have UHC....It took one day for the approval. I was at 58% BMI and my primary physician referred me to my Surgeon. It did take me 2 months to the day to get in for surgery though.

  14. I use the Patches and have 3-4 on in the AM and a different 3 on in the PM. Volfan is right you can't get them wet they are not Water proof. However, here's my take, I can't eat that much without feeling full I didn't want a meal of viatmins if you get my drift. I tried the liquids and there are terrible. So I went to the patches, I put B12, Multi, and Glucosamin, D3/Calcium on in the morning when I get ready for work, by the end of my work day I go home remove the patches and go excersize, swim, walk, bike ride whatever, I then take my shower and after I towel dry I add my 3 night time patches, anti aging, Omega 3, and sleep starter just above my sholders on my back or I put them in my waist line. I remove the night time ones when I get ready for work. I find that they work very well, I love them because I don't have to swallow anything and you are hopefully getting 100% absorption as opposed to only partial absorption with pills and liquid. I too will have to let my next set of labs be the deciding factor but I feel great and I don't have to worry about pills or liquids.
