Thanks!! I think it's more head hunger than I'm experiencing than anything...I crave all the chocolates, cheeses, & cakes...I'm from Louisiana so majority of our foods are fried or smothered in rich gravies...it's sooooooo hard to find healthy foods...but I'm staying motivated and will hopefully get over this pre-op junk lol worst torture ever!!!!

Today starts my 30 day pre-op diet & I'm really confused on what I should eat..everybody is so different..some say little starch & some say no starch..why is everybody on different paths?? The goal is to shrink the liver but I'm confused... -

Oh ok that doesn't sound too bad...my diet seems like a nightmare!! -
Depends on the state your in...I work at a hospital and patients come in a lot with Medicaid and they end up with a bill because most bariatric doctors do not accept Medicaid. Try just using your BCBS & see what happens. Inbox me if u have questions..

Thnx Ya'll!!!
