Money was an issue for me as well I went to Walmart and bought a small food processor and it only cost about 15 dollars, and it worked just as good for me as the more expensive ninja machines

I’m not sure where your from but I didn’t have to get a referral from my primary care, I had to go to a Bariatric seminar and while I was at the seminar I had to fill out paperwork with my insurance information on it and the surgeon’s office handled getting all the approvals I needed. I had to go through a 6 month weight loss period with my primary care before I had the surgery. I just didn’t really give my PC much choice on my first presurgery appointment I was like this is what I’m doing and this is what I need you to do.

I was 332 when I started the preop diet. I’m 4 mons post op, and I’ve lost over 90lbs. The challenges are that it takes awhile for you to really see a difference. I was nearly 80lbs before I started getting compliments. My stomach is holding on for dear life. My legs, arms, and chest went right away.

Enough to go from a 4x to a two

I didn’t buy anything except work uniforms, when my 6 weeks were up every uniform I had was literally falling off of me.

Lip balm
Breath spray
A robe (I had a catheter in so I couldn’t wear pants for when your walking the halls no one needed to see my tush)
Ear buds (again for when your walking laps)
Crocs ( again for walking the halls easy on and off and nonslip)

I had my surgery February 20,2018 and I’ve had no real issues except for when I was wake up I’m extremely nauseous at least until I get my first few sips of something to drink, even to the point of gagging while I’m running to the kitchen for a bottle of Water. Anyone else have this problem? Am I just dehydrated when I first get up? It literally stops as soon as I drink something!

I’m in Columbia, surgery date was February 20,2018.

Ok this is a weird question, I had surgery on February 20th I go for my post op Friday where I hopefully will be moved from the liquid diet to that puréed diet. Has anyone else been craving foods that they couldn’t stand before surgery???? I have been craving tuna like thinking about it and my mouth waters, I could even stand the smell of tuna pre-surgery. (Loved salmon, whiting, flounder, etc but never could stomach tuna for some reason)!

T-minus 9 hours until I check in......getting super nervous and excited I doubt I’ll sleep tonight

Two meals a week? Like what?

I'm on day two and it actually hasn't been as hard as I thought, and my doctor is extremely strict on what I'm allowed to have. Full liquid. 3 shakes a day sup lamented with broth, unsweetened juices/drinks. Two meals a week. I'm starting to freak out a bit though my OCD is kicking in and I'm already itching to pack for the hospital.

February 20th here
