Turkey' date=' bacon, pepper jack and guacamole. My favorite healthy salad/sandwich.[/quote']

I'll agree that is a great sandwich. I've had a few of those during my lifetime.

On the eggface blog, she wraps the avocado and cheese in a turkey slice and grills it till the cheese is melty. Sounds fantastic! Surely a little Irish bacon in there won't hurt.

Thank you!!

Yes thank you!! I was sleeved May 16th 2013..i have Hasimoto's which can also make it hard to lose. I have lost 35 pounds so far due to having it under control along with surgery. But i can not say that for me my weight gain was all due to my thyroid....that's why i was just wondering how this surgery would still help you. Congrats and i am glad you have found a solution!! Best of luck!!

I pay $1200 a month for insurance that states right up front - we will not cover bariatric surgery - or any non-surgical weight loss -don't ask

I wish I had insurance that would pay for this - I will pay for my own psych opinion with my psychologist - I have arranged for my PCP to handle any complications after I get home. I may not have to go thru 6 mos. of PCP supervised weight loss, I also don't get to have this surgery in a hospital where I live. Life is not fair - I really get it.

Uh oh! I think I'm going to be in trouble for the "Barfy" comment' date='

I was a joke!!!! Don't yell at me nava... Navymo

Oh whatever you name is!!

Edit;

Oh navyma![/quote']

Laura-ven I know the difference between jokes and being mean. I THOUGHT this was a support forum, a place to give and get support. I know we are all at different places on our journey & I personally don't see the need for snarky comments or to attack people. It's nasty, uncalled for and just plain RUDE. I've seen it happen quite a few times on here.

Lauraven, I choose the name Navyma bc Navymom was taken and my son is active duty serving overseas, I haven't seen him for over a year & a half and he's 4th generation Navy on MY side (including myself). So maybe the background info can help you remember my screen name. :)

I like to slice up some avocado, put fresh lime juice on it, add salt and pepper, and put it on top of my black Beans that have already been warmed with melted cheese--and then top it all with plain Greek yogurt. One of my favorite go-to meals. I like fresh avocado even better than guacamole....

I'm so sorry for you that you pay so much a month and it's not covered! That is pure injustice!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
