pljamartin reacted to OutsideMatchInside in What was your food intake like after 6 months SVG?
What are you eating though? What you eat, how you eat it and in what order and combination makes the difference in how much you can eat.
Example, I can eat 4 ounces of steak alone and be full. If I eat steak alternating bites with spinach or salad. I can eat a cup or 2 of salad and 6 ounces of steak.
At 6 months I was eating 3-4 ounces of dense Protein only at a meal.

pljamartin reacted to Missy161 in Low BMI and Gastric Sleeve
I too started with a him of 40 and even when I checked in at the hospital on surgery day the intake person said I wasn't big enough for surgery. I think it's their way of a compliment (?) Bit it is the comorbidities that make the surgery essential to our success. I kept creeping up in weight and weighed more than I ever have. I struggled with my weight my whole life. I was tired of being the biggest person in the room and then the sleep apnea and diabetes made me qualify with a zero copay in my insurance! So far I am 2.5 weeks out from surgery and have lost 22 pounds. I am feeling better and my diabetes has been under control.

pljamartin reacted to tfarr in Insure nutrition, worth the time
@@tammylou
I went to their website, called, gave them my info and they did the calling to the ins company. BUT, you have to be right on their tail. Otherwise like jane13 says they will take their time. After a while I said enough is enough. I asked for the manager and in a week I got my items.
Everything moves faster when you ask for the manager lol

pljamartin reacted to Berry78 in Structures?
There are several different things that might cause that result. If it is an actual stricture, I will be surprised. It's more likely that it's a motility disorder (which can range from mild to severe). Yours is likely not severe since the liquids go down.
Here is some info that may not even be applicable (I'm not a doctor! And I don't know what is happening with you.. these are just guesses)...
but at least you can learn about motility disorders...
