When is the best time to get a reading? First thing I. The morning? After a meal? This reading was about 2-3 hours after a snack.

No 😕

I didn’t tell anyone besides my parents and husband

If you have any predisposition for reflux you should get the bypass

@FluffyChix Look at this reading!!! What the hell?

I’d have to prick my finger 😬?

The dreaded full liquid diet
NYJenn replied to AnnieD78's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I remember having the dreaded headache and just being tired from lack of calories, but otherwise the 7 day liquid diet wasn’t that difficult. I felt empowered, like I was taking the next big step toward my surgery -
I’ve never heard of a glucose monitor, where would I get one?
-
I had to bring mine
-
I don’t feel like a champ...I feel like a woman who somewhat destroyed a Dunkin Donuts bathroom. Sad face

Correct, but it’s my understanding (others might disagree) that purées are more like tuna or shredded chicken, not just taking regular foods and blending them up. I could take a Big Mac and blend it up, but that’s not what I would consider a “purée” I just want people to make the most of their WLS
-
So much sodium! Drinks loads of water. Also, I’d advice against puréeing any further meals, just because you CAN eat it, doesn’t mean you should
-
That really doesn’t seem like that much, they probably just aren’t used to seeing this side of you and its shocking.
-
What’s your exercise routine like?
-
I’m a year out and a weigh myself daily. I understand though that weight can fluctuate based on lots of factors, so I don’t obsess

Binge eating-14 months after surgery
NYJenn replied to Andrejeus's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
At my last post op support group, the nurse told us that a “pouch reset” does not prevent or fix stretching. Once you’ve stretched it out, that’s it...it doesn’t go back. Something to think about -
Attended my 20 year HS reunion last night. Someone told me I didn’t need a name tag, because “you look exactly the same” I’ll take it 😁

Thursday errands with the kids (flute lesson, Doctor appt, Target, and lunch)

Didn’t have one

It’s sort of a cardinal rule of WLS, I would follow it

How many days in between each diet visit for insurance?
NYJenn replied to smb123's topic in Insurance & Financing
Mine was 30 but insurances and doctors differ -
Sleep Apnea worries, child mad I’m getting the surgery...words of advice/encouragement needed
NYJenn replied to Cherylmilla's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’ve heard it’s safer then hip replacement, look up some stats and show him how safe it is -
I’m having surgery tomorrow and I just want to know...
NYJenn replied to 12345shs16's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are embarking on a new chapter of your life. In order to do so, you need to cut ties with your old habits. I’m a year out and couldn’t fathom eating a sub sandwich, you can have the burger without a bun, pizza is iffy. Make sure you are ready for this, it’s a huge step, but a positive one. Best of luck -
Cost of surgery -- WOW
NYJenn replied to 2ndTimeFreedom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine was $19,000...I’ve never heard of anything close to $350k -
Has anyone heard of Malabsorption Gastric Bypass
NYJenn replied to Sharon B A's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Malabsorption is part of any bypass procedure. I had the bypass and have been very successful, 124 lbs gone
