here's what I suggest because it helped me a great deal : Contact your insurance company to find out exactly what the requirements are and what would be cause for denial. Also find out if the procedure is totally covered of if you will be responsible for some of the costs. (my nutrition and sleep evaluations were not covered but required so I have to take care of those) Track all of your required preop appointments meticulously Follow the recommendations (diet wise) as best as possible. Be super proactive and don't wait for the doctors office to stay on top of things for you. You don't know want to waste 6 months of your time if you don't have to. Congrats you'll do amazing!!!

Hi everyone Been stalled for A little while and need some suggestions to move past it. I'm 2 months Post OP and can still only eat about 700cal , 70g protein daily, less than 50g carbs. I completely understand the dynamics and have embraced my stall, but it's time to move on. Please only helpful comments from people who have experienced it and what worked. Many thanks HW 250 SW 238 CW 210

Hi there Really in need of daily plans that achieve protein goals especially if you have it nailed timing wise thanks in advance!!!

Niceeeeeeee

Just trying to get all of the nutrition and hydration in has become a full time job (30 mins between meals and drinks is alot to keep track of )

Ughhh, Stalled and frustrated with my eating routine. I need help trying to figure out how to get more protein based calories in. It's hard because I'm still struggling to eat more than 2oz of dense proteins at a time, and by then I have to move on to hydration 30 mins later. I have resorted to using honey in yogurt because it adds calories but does not take up additional stomach space otherwise I'm at about 400 calories and I believe my body is trying to go into starvation mode but honey adds sugars, le sigh. I'm eating about 500-700 calories a day, mostly 60g protein almost 48g carbs. Maybe im doing it all wrong. And ideas, plans, prayers?

Not in the same age range as you but try to choose activities that don't revolve around food. And if that fails you may have friends that are avoiding you for other reasons...

Did you start the process with your previous doctor, discuss weightloss at all? Perhaps they could provide the primary doctor clearance if you have not officially left their practice...

This is a tough subject that really should be discussed with a nutritionist, but I can tell you that the pharmacy sells ketosis test strips. Also I made the mistake of shopping for post OP foods prior to surgery and I have tons of pudding I'll never eat and protein shakes I can't tolerate...

I've never lost that much in a week...

Awwww thanks! I'll try to remember that

I did too and I didn't take benadryl because I assumed it was because of normal healing (like any other itchy cut) so I very carefully cleaned the areas with alcohol and it helped a ton.

Amazing!!!!!

Any hair loss? Any remedies?
