i am amazed at how much money I am saving by not eating out!

Bariatric ballers! I love that! I haven't purchased any hookers or drugs, but I'm still early post op....jkjk 😂

My doctor had me do Clear liquids the first day post op, then come home on soft foods and he told me to progress as I felt comfortable. I'm 10 days out and I'm eating normal (haven't tried red meat or pork), making healthy choices, and trying my best, but I see all these other people on 3-6 weeks of liquid and I'm wondering if my doc is a quack! Anyone else have a doc like mine???? My weight loss is at 30 lbs in 10 days, just FYI.

The first week home after surgery I lost 20 lbs almost instantly, but at 2 1/2 weeks post op I'm still at the same 20 lbs I lost the first week. Is this normal? I know not to watch the scale and 20 lbs is 20 lbs I don't have to carry anymore, but I just worry.

I used Cahaba Valley Surgical, Dr Christopher in Birmingham, AL. It may be worth the drive. He was very direct and my process was straight forward. I didn't have to jump through hoops.

I have tricare south prime and was one month from consultation to surgery. I did not have to do a psych consult or a nutritionist (the docs office had one and so did the hospital). My BMI was 40 and it fluctuated.

thank you all, your encouragement is what I needed this evening. I have cried the last three evenings, I know this is a step in the right direction, I just need to toughen up.

What are you struggling with? I'm 9 days post op and I will tell you the first four were hell for me. I was depressed, regretful, and just miserable. I couldn't get the Protein down because no it made me gag, I just wanted a cheeseburger and to cry! I started using GENEPRO and by day 6 I felt human again. At one week I got on the scale and had lost 20 lbs! It does get better, let me know if you need someone to talk to. 😊

Just get a referral from your pcm. Tell them you don't feel rested when you wake up. Is there another bariatric surgeon you can see? If so, then just call tricare and change the physician on the referral.

Thank you so much for your reply and guidance. In order to get a sleep study, did you have to jump through hoops or just request one? I'm just surprised the bariatric center wouldn't even see me; I was hoping they could help me find a loophole or way to go ahead with a treatment. Tricare granted 4 visits so just can't believe they wouldn't even schedule a visit. I'm in a desperate place that I've not experienced before. Again, thank you for your help.

I had tricare prime too. have you had a sleep study done? I would suggest that. Do you snore at night? Sleep apnea is a co morbidity and most obese patients have this issue. Hope this helps.

Yes, I do. It helps keep me on track when I see them mess up. Also, I can relate to all their feelings, even though I've never weighed that much. Thinking about "Oh, it'll be ok to do this and that, it won't hurt anything," then seeing that it DOES matter.
