Does your vision go white with the hypoglycemia? Its crazy how things we were on medicine for we now have the opposite issue. I had high BP and was on meds for it, and now, they are considering putting me on medicine to raise my BP. My resting pulse is 53. And thats so weird that they dont want you eating a lot of protien? How much do they want you eating? I have to have 90 and they require us to do one liquid per day for life. So, 80-100 g of protien with 20-30 of that has to be liquid per day.

just make sure your plan approves of that! most gummy vits have sugar so my plan does not allow them

check with your office first and see what you have already paid for. examply my dietician and mental health is included for life. My checks up to 13 months is included. and then i would have them run your insurance and see what coverage you have to stay with them, if not, they can refer you to someone that has coverage.

just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing had my one year followup this week and the doctor said Ive lost 94% of excess weight!

have you mentioned the sticking out part to your OB/doctor?

its all about the cup. Also, I have to have a straw, i know some plans don't allow them, ours says its okay after six months.

This sounds really good!

I did not do that procedure. But I will tell you my opinion on it. While I fully support medical tourism, and getting the procedure in places like mexico, I do think they use shiny gimick words to one up and get your business. I also think that its .... interesting... that they are doing a procedure that no other US doctor is advertising.. Combining that with the fact that it is hard to get a MX doctor to approve you for bypass, they heavily prefer sleeve because they can get them in and out faster and easier. I would encourage you to find a doctor that will approve you for bypass especially if you already have reflux issues

save it for soft! on pureed, as gross as it sounds, eat baby food jars. if you dont want to go that route, look at what all you can do with blended cottage cheese! You can add flavorings to it, warm it up and melt shredded cheese into it, you can mix it with stuff. cottage cheese is very versatile

the best thing I ever did was switching to a hairdresser that also had bariatric surgery. Because she had went through it herself ontop of her general hair knowledge I have felt so much more in control and so good about the decisions we made as far as cuts and products.

im 9 months out and have had several large traumatic events happen after surgery, and i feel like my anxiety medicine doesnt work anymore. I never consiidered the serotin component

I get pushback on my medical team for almost everything. And your team seems to be in the odd group here.. most teams push for 4-6 small meals a day...? Its really hard to only eat 3-6 ounces, only 3 times, and be at 1200 calories? I eat 5ish times a day, each meal being 150-300 calories, and a half cup per meal.

I hope so for you as well! The only thing is I do supplement Biotin, and thats just because I had a very traumatic experience around 4 months PO that made my hair loss accelerate, but that is an optional thing I added

i live in the south east USA and yesterday was upper 80s low 90s... i was in the pool with my son, in a two piece, with teeth chattering. I said I have to get out, its COLD. everyone though i was crazy
