  1. I've questioned the same thing. Even my hips hurt.
  2. I had to stop latuda because you have to eat a large meal and obviously that's not gonna happen. I switched to something else, my thyroid medicine was decreased. I'm not on BP or cholesterol medicine anymore.
  3. You can make your own protein bars.
  4. To me it doesn't, it tastes like cheese from the Parmesan cheese.
  5. I love them. They are the perfect size and help get that protein in. If you have a Kroger store near you they sell them there and are a 2 serving size.
  6. I'm in Rosenberg. I had the bypass in November 2016. Best thing I have ever did for myself. Just had my 6 month check up and I'm good for a year. No complications at all!

  8. You can always let it go flat. That's what I do with diet ginger ale to get the flavor. No judging here [emoji4]
  9. Go for it! It'll probably only take a bite or two and you'll be finished.
  10. I was sent home with two weeks of lovenox. Well I got it three days before surgery but it simple and no pain at all. Not all people get it though, totally up to your surgeon.
  11. Why were you put on that? That's a harsh medicine, never heard of being put on it before surgery.
  12. I wouldn't, it has fructose and sugar. Those might cause dumping and that's no fun.
  13. Real good pizza company has an awesome high carb pizza with only 4 grams of carb. The crust is made with chicken. Kroger sells them or you can use the store locator on the website.
  14. As I was getting prepped I had a nausea patch applied behind ear. It worked, not once did I get sick.
  15. I have that insurance as well. The dr supervised diet is with a NUT once a month for 6 months. Do not gain any weight or they will make you do another month. I gained 3 pounds and did 7 months. They are strict on that.
  16. My NUT and dr said decaf is fine.
  17. I'm excited about flying too!!!
  18. i received info from NUT to use light/lowfat mayo. Everybody gets different info and have their own opinion. Did you not get told to follow a high protein low fat diet?
  19. I was at the same wait as when I started and I was approved.
  20. Halo top icream is perfect, it even has protein!
  21. To satisfy my craving I'll eat a sugar free Reese's cup, the little one in the bag. It does the trick and I'm good for awhile.
  22. The pre op diet is to shrink the liver so there is room to get to the stomach.
