My surgeon told me once I’m two weeks post op to just put a little Vaseline on the incision sites and it will slowly soften the glue.

You are planning your food! That is not bad! As soon as you get the sandwich cut it in 4ths. Wrap up 1/4 to take home and then enjoy every single bite of the other 1/4. Eat it slowly and savor every single wonderful flavor - even the rye bread! See this as a liberating experience and a sign of how far you have come. What a difference from gobbling the whole thing to slowly savoring 1/4th! This is what eating should be about - enjoying the "normal" portion and eating with "normal" control. It is a victory!!!!!

Im amazed you were able to keep it down - Im out 6 months and will tose up a roll or hotdog bun with ease - I doubt you did in long term damage, Like stated above its a journey and there is some big ass bumps in the road - we all have been there

I agree with AJ, if you can't get the support you need at home, get it here. We are all here for you!

Wow! I have acid reflux and burning everyday. I have started iv infusions and d3 shots because of not being able to do vitamins. I have passed out from low magnesium and blood pressure Twice been in hospital. I wish I could have my old life back. Have u been week from no vitamins?

Thank you @Orchids&Dragons I need to avoid slider foods because those calories can sneak in..Or at least just stay verrrry aware, lol.

The first three months after surgery were hell ..... I keep asking myself why did I punish myself like this. It was horrible and hard.

1) Take a deep breath. Grab something to drink and a peppermint. (Peppermints work as a mood stabilizer and assist thought process.) 2) Open up your laptop. We are going to write a letter of appeal. 3) Have your denial letter handy. You will need that address. I will write a dummy letter at bottom for format purposes. 4) MAIL your letter yourself! Also give a copy to your Bariatric Team. You learned a long time ago if you want something done, do it yourself. This is no different. 5) What info needs to be in my letter? Glad you asked or didn't or whatever.. List your height and weight. List your BMI. Write about your life of obesity. When it started, approximately. Why it started if you know. Most importantly in specific, precise detail describe how obesity is effecting your life negatively personally AND physically including medical conditions. Lastly, describe how you understand this is a tool and you are ready to make self changes and better your life if they can please reconsider and grant you the gift of life by approving your surgery for this life-saving tool 6) Mean It!!!
