I have cut out pork, experimenting with "meat alternatives" (soy chorizo,chicken sausage,etc). No more cake or Cookies. Doing a lot of research for the liquid diet for post op......is there anything anyone can add that might help me?

I don't have a pre op diet required. I am just on a balanced meal plan, but I don't have to change anything as surgery gets closer. We are expected to loose 5-10 pounds overall with the balanced pre op diet while all your appointments are being taken care of.

Good morning everyone. I am sitting in the waiting area of the endoscopy doctor, thinking about how I am progressing with my WLS journey. This is the consult appointment and I am so excited. This puts me yet another step closer to my procedure. Just wanted to thank all of you for the support via these groups, it is definitely appreciated. Have a great day.

Hey guys. I was sleeved March 27th and released March 29th. Feeling a little better today (4 days post op), but boy were those original gas pains a nightmare. Also one of the hardest parts was right after surgery how dry my mouth was and we couldnt sip Water until our contrast study the next morning. I got to wet my lips with a little sponge, which was really nice. I was really nervous for contrast study the next day, but the radiologist was really sweet and the barium wasn't too bad. I was burping all day March 28th and 29th, but didn't pass rel gas until March 30th. (I mostly pass gas while sleeping at night.) I am trying to get my fluids in as best as I can. Today I got 30 ml of whey Protein mixed with Water in. I also hate the ompizalole beads in apple sauce yuck. Trying to walk alot too. About to have some broth too. I notice when I swallow the water and broth my body feels tigh and uncomfy for a few seconds and then releases and I feel ok. I asked the nurse and she said it was from swollen esophagus anf stomach, but it will get better. I am trying to walk as well and tonight as per doctor I took my dressing off my incisions leaving steri-strips. One steri-strip came off, but seems ok. A little raw so I put a big bandage over it for now. I hope all your fellow sleevers are doing well. Hopefully I will keep feeling better each day. ♡

United Healthcare Choice Plus. Keep in mind that how good your benefits are depend largely on what your employer is willing to pay for. I work for one of the major auto insurance companies, so it seems they know the value of a good insurance plan.
Even when I was first talking to United to find out what costs would be, the rep stated that these were the best benefits she had ever seen. So, again, I'm just so very fortunate.

I'm sure it's just nerves, and i was told with BCBS it takes longer than most other insurance companies, but I'm going nucking futs. Had my initial dr appt in Dec, nut appt Jan 10th, and psych eval Jan 16th.... trying to wait patiently.... i estimated the max of 6 wks being Feb 27th.... 4 wks being Feb 13th. I called BCBS yesterday, and they said my status is still pending.... anybody in this boat with me?
