I'm sooo peeved. UHC is now saying I owe them like 77K because they did not approve my surgery! Yet they approved my friend whom I work with and have the same coverage and same doctor... Argh!

it's gross, I started with my second fill on friday....

so I'm having to chew extra extra.

Haven't experienced this. Hope you went to have your doctor check it out and all is well. Let me know how you're doing.

I'm on day three after my 2nd fill and still fill a bit tight... not sore, but I have to eat very slooooooowly.

I'm eating mushies like applesauce Yummy!

but now I know what you all mean by sliming cos....YUCK-O!

Just got my fill yesterday and doc says liquids up to Saturday... well I was naughty and thought i could try some applesauce and bleuch! that felt bad

Centrum orange chewy.... not the best tasting, but oh well LOL

I snack on a few raw almonds and blueberries... maybe a 1/4 cup full

or

tw basil and olive oil triscuits with fat free laughing cow soft cheese and a slice of a cherry tomato... Yummelicious!

I looooove these.....unfortunately so does my cat LOL, so even though it's a small can, I never get to eat the whole thing.... wich I guess is a good thing LOL

my favorite... broccoli... am I a freak or what???

Thanks,

I've been getting bad rashes under my belley and around my thighs-- hurts like heck!

learn how to cheat your brain...

Add Protein to your cottage cheese.

Mix Protein into your omlette.

Add your protein into a smoothie

I love Protein nectar and I drink that with my crystal light...

It's all about twisting your minds way of thinking about food.

Hope that helps

I love Jamba juice and that was my gift to myself for my birthday I got my favorite small smoothie "Orange Peel" and had them mix my Protein powder in. It was delishous and a good rare treat

You definately have to make a heartfelt commitment to yourself.

Don't beat yourself up- whatever you do.

Start with writing a letter to yourself that outlines a contract. Sign and date it and then mail it to yourself.

I did this and it helped me get over a different type of problem like what you're going through now.

Also remember to come here and get uplifted- there's wonderful people here.

Huggs- You'll be fine!

lotsa crushed ice

Blend Blend Blend

Served in a margarita glass with a wedge of orange and umbrelly

Yummy!

Y'know what? Salads and my tummy no longer agree and that makes me very sad

I made a deal with myself... if I was gonna do this I was gonna do it right... five meals max a day of 1/2 a cup of food each.

I mix Protein nectar in the morning and drink it throughout the day on my prottein day "Wednesdays"

I didn't realize it loses it's "zing" It's worked wonderful for me and is my favorite protein by far:scared:

That's wonderful!

I'm getting my second fill this montha nd hope to God that i have wonderful results too!

Hi and congrats!

What really really worked for me was Protein nectar. Mostly because it mixes up like crystal light. My first week post op, I would make four servings in a picture and mix in a little of crystal light and I kept drinking it down.... I believe it's 27 grams per 8 oz servings (1 scoop).

The one thing I'm hoping doesn't change about me is how I deal with dating and meeting new men. I have a friend who had the surgery and has become very promiscuous.... that's never been me, but I read that in some cases bariatric patients will trade in an eating habit for another.

I love you guys so much.... I have been wondering for the longest what restriction means. So it means I'm not hungry? I'm hardly ever hungry anymore and have to remember to eat....

I've noticed I can gulp Water too and was really confused... more than normal...so gradually as I get my adjustments that will change?

1.9 cc's :girl_hug:

I had my first fill yesterday and my AMAZING doctor told me to stay on liquids the rest of the day and today (Saturday) I feel AMAZING... and I'm glad I get mushies tomorrow, becuase I'm craving some egglplant ran through the food processer YUM-O!

I was filled 1.9 cc's and Water seems to be going down well...
