Ok Army girl, me and you are in this together. I am a diagnosed binge eater. I am in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), I am combining that with the surgery and my own will power (which is still getting there). I was dreading the liquid diet. But being the creative fat girl I am, I found flavor. Fat Free Cottage cheese, 1 tsb with three frozen strawberries and some sprinkled splenda- tastes like a dessert, and the cottage cheese has whey Protein in it, like 9 grams. Soups- any beef or chicken bouillon with veggies. I I buy the steamer bags of spinach and carrots and use those. I like adding Ms. Dash or Goya seasonings. I add some lemon and scallions if its just plain broth. Yoplait Yogurt Light- Comes in many many flavors- Key Lime, red velvet, black forest, strawberry shortcake. 90 Calories each and 5 grams of sugar, some protein. The thick an creamy and the whips are high in sugar, stick to the light. I have had some grilled chicken I will admit, and turkey lunch meat, so I am not perfect. BUt not carbs, breads, or fats of any kind besides the residuals in yogurt and cottage cheese. CRYSTAL light. I hate Water. I drink 5 bottles of water a day mixed with half a pack of single serve crystal light.

Sugar free jello, with pieces of frozen strawberries.....ive got a ton of combos so its not boring

Armygirl, are u on total liquids? Im allowed yogurt, cottage cheese and veggies and soups. All fat free. If u want sum ideas to mix it up lmk. I also do the three protein shakes a day

Im saving for the plastics anyway i just wanna be smoking hotttt

What does it mean when it says 50% covered after pre authorization? I know the surgery needs pre auth but does that mean I have to cover 50% of the cost?? Sorry guys I am so confused. I have Horizon BCBS EPO plus, with $30 copay and $50 specialist. Thanks

Got the approval letter. The ins company is more worried about me seeking plastic surgery after the fact. But the sleeve is covered so i dont care. Lol its funny the way they worded it . "We applaud your endeavor to lose weight, but plastic surgery procedures will not be covered due to loose skin etc".

Haha, we r in this together girlie, glad i have support!

Im so excited!!!!!!!!!! And scared shitless

Omg crystal, u brought tears to my eyes, is it weird that i wanna be like you when i shrink down? Lol

Littlemiss, you got me even more excited!!! Pre liquid diet i was 215, now 208, surgery is scheduled for nov19. I cant wait till we are hot hot hot! (And healthy

Im so busy with college crap and my kids i wont feel the six days lol.....ugh! I want a vaca when i get to goal

Bubles, belly is from stress sometimes. You are doing great though! Increase water and destress a bit. Im thinking about light yoga post op

Im down 6 lbs in one week. I just bought syntrax unflavored powder to add to jello and broths after surgery. Pretty cheap on amazon

I hope in 12 months my 4"10 frame will only have 115 lbs on it

As long as it can be billed and not cash in hand i can deal with that. Jersey girl, do u have epo plus?

Hey everyone, I am pre op. my surgery is scheduled for 11/19. I am currently 209, my ultimate goal is to be 110 within a year and a half, or less. I am 4'10.

And i feel so good that all my november 19 girls are together in this. Good luck on your journey girls!

Wheew that was alot lol. Hope it helps. I def feel good.

Ive been downing 70 grms protein, drinkinv about 64 ounces of water and i have two "meals" and two snacks. I like to make a boullion brpth boil it with fresh spinach, and i add an egg white for protein. I add scallions for flavor. If i need crunchy i eat raw carrots. For snacks i either have sugar free jello, cottage cheese with fruit or yogurt. Ive lost 5 lbs since last sunday. I did shred grilled chicken into my broths at times. Also found a liver detox tea that ive been drinking.

Imagine, how are u doing with liquids? My doc said i can have veggies fruit and yogurt

Thanks im so happy! :') i need a change in my life since my divorce
