Bariatric haul! What have you bought for your journey or plan to buy?
Wowzers lol i thought I went overboard but you have everyyyuthing. I need to get something to turn meat into purée but I can’t imagine eating meat the consistency of purée. I might add a scoop of unflavored protein to a jar of baby food but that’s as far as I may go ? Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Bariatric haul! What have you bought for your journey or plan to buy?
I find myself doing a lot of research before I buy anything. I feel very happy with my latest haul. What have you bought or plan to get to better prepare yourself for this journey? I also got my new oversized sweats to leave the hospital in. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Almost quit on Day 1 of my pre-op liquid diet
This is going to sound weird and silly but I haven’t had anything to eat yet. My stomach hasn’t felt like it’s killing me and I’m kinda scared of having a shake and getting that feeling again of I need more and desperately wanting food. kinda like.. let me just leave my stomach alone while it’s not bothering me.

Day 4 and I feel good.. didn’t think I’ll be saying this but there’s nothing I care to eat. I’m fine as long as my stomach doesn’t have that burning hunger sting. Who would have thought. The complainer is having an ok day [emoji57] Hope everyone else is staying strong and pushing through. Hope as the days go on it only gets better but I’m sure it’ll be lots of ups and downs.

I’ve tried several times to reply to some of the recent posts but I can’t gather my thoughts and I keep editing my little paragraph over and over. This liquid diet has me in shambles [emoji30] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Insurance Confusion
If the center for Weightloss you are being treated at takes your insurance then the team working with you knows exactly what they require and will not make you go through any hoop you don’t need to go though. 9 out of 10 times they already had patients with that same insurance and they are not new to this, just trust the process. Besides the people who speak to patients and speak to office from the doctors are completely different. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Almost quit on Day 1 of my pre-op liquid diet
So it’s 9:00PM (at least here in New York City) and I’m due for my 5th and last protein shake since I drink them at 9am 12pm 3pm 6pm and 9pm to perfectly space them apart just long enough to not bite my arm off but when 9pm hit just now I was like blah why even bother drinking the shake, I’m not going to feel any different than I do now and it will just wake up my stomach and it’ll just leave me craving more food. Has anyone done this? Last night I did the same thing. What I really want is a nice cold beer and some lays chips [emoji28] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Pouch volume Vs Sleeve which one has more restriction?
Finally found something on this.. The sleeve pouch is (3-4 ounces) compared to the gastric bypass pouch (1 ounce) and LAP-BAND[emoji768] pouch (1/2 ounce). Found this on oliakcenter.com Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Why Can't I Get Gastric Bypass?
Wow awesome news.. when I first read the post I thought I’ll just read through it as I didn’t feel like anything I said could relieve or make you feel better but then I see the good news. Can you elaborate some more and tell us the process. Did your doc finally come around? Did you see a different one did they change their mind? Are you back on your dads insurance?

I really enjoy reading all the post and the positive reinforcement. The story about the pepperoni was hilarious. I’d lick a few things myself but I threw everything out and all I have is protein shakes in the fridge. I even made sure to have zero cash on me so I couldn’t order anything from the restaurants. I’m close to asking a family member to lock me away with a case of premier protein [emoji28] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Thanks for all the water substitute ideas deff going to look into that and find something I like enough to sip on all day and fill up on. The mental hunger is very real. I fill myself up with 20oz of water and a shake and I may be up to the top volume wise but in reality I’m still hungry, I’m hungry for food for the taste the flavor the texture the satiety it gives me. I just have to tell myself “you know you are not starving”. it also makes me feel awful to think how there are so many people in other countries who are truly starving and don’t even have these protein shakes they only eat one meal if they’re lucky (like Venezuela) and here I am whining so much [emoji30] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

My 600-LB life the Perrio siblings
Wow the big one was the one who didn’t get approved. I can’t imagine how she feels, she really wanted this so bad maybe the most out of all three of them. The brother is so arrogant, you’d think he was only 50lbs over weight the way he really believes he doesn’t have a problem [emoji58] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

My 600-LB life the Perrio siblings
Definitely.. I think they enable each other. idk how this will play out because they are not trying to lose 100+ pounds and walk away from all the help suggesting they do so but I know damn well doctor now is not doing surgery for someone who is 800lbs especially if they don’t prove themselves with great weightloss and self control 1st.

I’m glad to see here that others are in the same boat as me. Last night I went to bed feeling awful. I really thought to myself what’s wrong with me why am I so out of control why do I want to break this diet so bad and eat everything, everyone else does the diet why can’t I. But I’m reading here that everyone else also goes through all these feelings so we are no exception.. I’m wondering if I can have almonds lol [emoji30] I wish mine was 10 days even 13 days I need this to be over the sooner the better. Everyone keeps saying that after the 3rd day they feel better and I must admit that although today is only my 2nd day it’s deff been better than yesterday. Yest I just felt like the day was 80 hours long. Day couldn’t be over fast enough for me to sleep this hunger off but I can’t sleep when I’m hungry so I was up late hungry and with a headache. Mann I can complain for hours about this diet lolol Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Premier is definitely better although pure protein isn’t bad or chalky. My only prob with premier is that it tastes a little sweeter than I prefer. I got one case just to try it out and because it was a good deal and you can’t go wrong with 35 grams of protein. right now I’m loving premiers caramel flavor.. it’s very creamy and delicious especially cold.

Almost quit on Day 1 of my pre-op liquid diet
You and me both lol I thought I was tough too, in fact I was eager to start my liquid diet because I couldn’t wait to begin the process and look at me now.. here complaining and whining since day 1 to any and everyone that will hear me out [emoji23] but everyone is so awesome. They really know just what to say to pick you up and give you that pull. I had made another post yesterday wondering that same thing- how in the world can someone work while on this diet because if you feel anything like me you want to take several naps and are too weak to do anything that requires coordination or concentration. I’ll check up on you to see how you’re doing, I’m dying if you were wondering lol. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City
