I have Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and I didn't lose any weight during the six months. But they found other reasons to deny me. I had to fight with them for several months to get approval and we are still fighting with my with them for my husband's approval . do not take their denial to Heart or as fact. Fight it fight it fight HW 385 SW 359 CW 326 (59lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

It came today. Its actually comfortable and the pants can be pulled up to the braline. The shirt has a zipper so it will be easy to remove when wet. Ignore my messy bedroom. HW 385 SW 359 CW 326 (56lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Speaking of....ahem....After some private time I am now 326! That is my highest weight when I joined Medifast 7 years ago and met my husband. HW 385 SW 359 CW 329 (56lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Me? October 5th. Tomorrow I am 7 weeks post op. In a bit of a stall, only 3lbs in the last two weeks. Driving me nuts but I have lost 21 inches. HW 385 SW 359 CW 329 (56lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

And @@kurigotmoxie makes 8! I will be sending your questionare shortly. HW 385 SW 359 CW 329 (56lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Once a week?? You poor thing. I go every 2nd day & even that gets uncomfortable. Lately I've drastically increased my Water intake & sometimes go daily. Sad how happy that makes me haha Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App I am still not getting enough water. I try but often forget at work. I think its a side effect of years of edema. Too much water/liquids and my feet swell painfully. How do you go every other day? I am jealous. HW 385 SW 359 CW 329 (56lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

I totally feel you. If I poop once a week it's a good day. HW 385 SW 359 CW 331 (54lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Bump to the top! Help us spread some Christmas cheer! HW 385 SW 359 CW 331 (54lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Just a taste is what got many of us into this mess. Placing our want for food over the health of our bodies. How often were we able to stop at one bite? One bite of each will likely not harm you, thats a question for your surgeon, but should you really be indulging that evil little voice that made you fat in the first place?

I bought some edemame spagetti noodles at the local health food store. I haven tried them yet, but they are 200 cals a serving and 24g of Protein. HW 385 SW 359 CW 331 (54lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

I sent everyone their PMs. So far we have 7 participants. Lets get some more! HW 385 SW 359 CW 331 (54lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

I cant seem to send you a PM. Can you please send me a PM with the following info? Hi! What is you name and address? What are your interests that might help a Secret Santa? What is your gender identity? Do you have any allergies or definite No-No's? Let me know as soon as possible ! HW 385 SW 359 CW 331 (54lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

With at least 5 people... its on! Spread the word! HW 385 SW 359 CW 331 (54lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

331lbs. Still... darn it. HW 385 SW 359 CW 331 (54lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Have you considered looking into self pay? Some of the OOC options might be less expensive than your copay. HW 385 SW 359 CW 331 (54lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Be open to other forms of meeting people, not specifically to find a mate, and actively work to make that happen. Take classes, go to movies/plays/events. Volunteer somewhere. I met my husband in a Medifast chat room. I was chatting with a friend and he logged on to talk with her as well. Nine months later we moved in together and 5 years after that we got married.

I have used hello fresh, blue apron and freshly. The meals do push you to try things you would likely not do on your own. If you are cooking for one and dont mind leftovers, they coukd be a good option. You would likely get 4 meals out of each 2 person meal. HW 385 SW 359 CW 331 (54lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

My family knows, a few friends and coworkers. I havent posted on Facebook but I am not actively hiding it either. HW 385 SW 359 CW 331 (54lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

I am making my own thanksgiving for husband and myself. The smalles bird I could find was 11lbs so it will be turkey for days. I am only going to make a small amount of stuffing, half a package of instant mash and a 4pk of rolls for him. I will only get a bite or two of the dressing and mash. I am planning on adding pumpkin to cheesecake sf pudding for dessert, with a few chopped pecans. HW 385 SW 359 CW 331 (54lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

I was hitting 600 to 750 when I spoke with my bariatric nurse. She said she wanted me to hit at least 800 calories a day because less that's considered a starvation diet. HW 385 SW 359 CW 331 (54lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

It depends on what kind of slush (like a slurpee from 711?) and how you handle sugar. I really badly wanted a slurpee but no one in my area had any sugar free slurpees. I made one myself with crystal light and ice in my ninja. Not perfect but close enough. I use straws too. My surgeon said it was ok, it was up to me and my reaction. I havent had any negitive experiences. HW 385 SW 359 CW 331 (54lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Yes!!! My stomach growls as if I'm famished. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App My stomach growls and gurgles when I am getting close to too full. HW 385 SW 359 CW 331 (54lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

If we get at least 2 more people, we can get this rolling. HW 385 SW 359 CW 331 (54lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

If you were responding to me, I didnt think you were being hateful. Its an honest question for a person who was recent sleeved like I have. Husband eats way more than I can, and still has ghrenlin that makes him cranky, so I make carb sides for him. HW 385 SW 359 CW 331 (54lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Bean carbs yes... others like rice, choe mein and potatoes... no. Those are to fill up the husband while we are waiting for his ins approval. HW 385 SW 359 CW 331 (54lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16
