  1. What happens if I get more protein then 80 in a day. For some reason I would have about 100 by the time I have dinner. Should I just not eat it so I don't go over??
  2. Then hopefully you don't have a waiting period.
  3. You should call the insurance directly. I called mine often to make sure I had everything right. It's easier to get through to the insurance if you call in the morning.
  4. Did they say you has to do the 6 Month weight loss before??
  5. Make sure you do check with you pcp. Also with you being in pain you BP may rise. Also make sure your staying hydrated.
  6. Thanks I'm going to get some of these things.
  7. Thanks guys. That does help.
  8. My case was a little different. When I had my sleeve done I also had a hernia repair that took 6 weeks to heal. Been back at work for 2 weeks now. I was told usually someone can go back 2 weeks after the surgery.
  9. I'm lost. Sick of protein drinks. I'm not sure what to eat or the amount of food to make. I was thinking about making some meals and freezing but don't know what to make. What to buy. My husband doesn't understand that I can't just go eat a donut to get my calories. So anyways that was a long way to ask for things you all get from the grocery store.
  10. I'm close in the Ann arbor/ ypsi area
  11. How long ago did you get your surgery.
  12. I had my surgery in March I'm about 8 weeks out. I can start to see the loss. Just wish it was going a little faster. I hope the slow lose means no lose skin.
  13. I had back pain due to a surgery back in 2010. Since I have lost weight my back pain has gone away. With the extra weight off it's been easier to move also. I still have more weight to lose but if you go that route it will be a benefit for you.
  14. I'm only 2 months out but no regrets here. Sure I have had my days where I say to myself why did I do this. Then I remember I was on the road to diabetes, had high blood pressure, depressed, and in pain all the time. I'm still new to this so still working on the emotional part but everything else is gone. That is not to say this isn't hard, in fact this is the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
  15. My Doctor says it's okay to eat oatmeal if you like. But he also said things change and if my new stomach doesn't like it then don't. Just sucks because I like oatmeal.
  16. Just wondering if anyone found the can not eat oatmeal anymore. Since my surgery it makes me sick. I know things change just thought I would be able to eat it eventually. Now I just feel sick.
  17. So I came across a recipe and it's really good. I thought it wouldn't be but it was. 2 bananas mashed mixed with rolled oats. I added walnuts in it also. Baked for 10 minutes. Just in case you wanted something different.
  18. I had my sleeve 3/20. I do not remember a sharp pain on the right side. Did you let your surgon know
  19. So I started back working after 6 weeks off. I'm so glad I'm back at work, anyways I am not able to eat much still. My weight loss is at a stall because of it I think. Not sure if that is the cause of my hair coming out also. I'm going to the gym still. But I think I get about 600 to 800 max daily. Any suggestions?? Please help.
  20. I'm a little closer to you also. Just seem like lot of people from Michigan is not on here.
