    Taking pills/tablets

    I was able to take pills a week out from bypass.

    B12 injections or pill?

    My surgeon prescribed mine and yes it is covered by insurance, however the syringe isn’t. I pay $.25 a month for one.

    Too long on liquids?

    Why is Your dietician controlling your diet phase? I would think the dr would take care of that. In my opinion that’s like a nurse trying to diagnose and treat..
  5. I absolutely cannot eat tuna or eggs anymore. I have tried numerous times and I can’t. Also, spicy food seems to be more intense. Pre-surgery I could eat it without problems. I don’t know if it’s a mental thing because I can’t drink when I eat.

    Soft foods

    Soft foods are generally stuff you can mash with a fork
  7. If it's a stone it could be moving and that's why it's not hurting in your back. I've actually had stones to block the urethra opening into my bladder and have to have surgery to remove it. Being a female the pain was worse than having a baby. Labor pains come and go, this pain is steady with no relief in between.

    Surgery Around the Holidays

    I had my surgery on 11/14/16, I was on the puréed stage at Thanksgiving. It wasn't a problem for me as I had no appetite at all. I just took my nutri bullet with me and weighed out my portions to equal 2-4 ounces. It bothered others more than it bothered me because they felt bad for eating regular food and larger amounts.

    Anthem

    I live in Texas and have this insurance, initially I was told 3 months, it turned out to be 6 months with the first visit not counting so it was 7 months. It all depends on what the company chooses.

    What a surprise!

    I had to do it after my surgery. My insurance covered it as well. It's really not as bad as it seems and goes by fairly quick.

    Before surgery

    When I woke up I was very sore and felt bloated. Walk as much as you can and the gass will go away.

    Before surgery

    I was there at 5:30 in the morning for a 7:30 surgery. Got weighed and then an iv inserted with fluid and antibiotic. Then came in later with the happy juice. I was alright then.

    Compression stockings in hospital

    I just had the ones that would inflate and deflate in intervals. Once I was up walking I didn't have to use them.
  14. Tylenol is our only option now. Anything else puts you at risk for ulcers.
