    Cereal and granola question

    I agree with John. I had a half serving of frosted mini wheats with a 1/4 of milk for breakfast one day this week and had to add in a protein shake later in the day to make up for the protein without a ton of calories. I would like to try Kashi though.

    Low Libido

    I have zero drive 2+ months out and newly inserted with Mirena. Unfortunately my husband has no interest either, so we're more like roommates than husband and wife.

    Blood pressure question

    I also have not taken bp meds since the day before surgery. I am usually just under 120/80 without meds now.

    Have to be re-sleeved!

    If you're able to come to Michigan, my surgeon has performed over 4000 surgeries (bypass, lap band, duodenal switch and sleeve combined). He does amazing work and is known as Dr. Wonderful. :-)
  5. I have never been thin. I was chunky through grade school and in the high 100's when I graduated high school. That's the last time I remember Onederland. Getting to "overweight" from "morbidly obese" will be a thrill, let alone getting to "normal"! I'm just over 2 months out, down to 257 from 305 (including 2 week pre-op diet). I can't wait to see what the rest if this year brings!!

    Anyone who has had Cigna who had sleeve this year?

    I have Cigna and was approved in a week. 40+ BMI and high blood pressure, 3 mos of PCP appts, one nutritionist phone interview, psych eval, and history of morbid obesity documented through old records. Fortunately, easy peasy for me. Good luck!!!

    What is the date of the Color Run in Lansing? I'm in Ann Arbor and missed the one in Ypsilanti.

  13. Has anyone gotten sterilized after surgery? I'm over 40 and my husband and I do not want any more little ones. We discussed IUDs but have decided on sterilization. I'm torn between tubal ligation and Essure. Has anyone had tubal implants? Any info is appreciated.

    Sterilized after surgery?

    Lol...it's all good. It is a frustrating point for many. :-)

    Sterilized after surgery?

    Actually sterilization or long term birth control is my choice. His intense fear of a vasectomy is something we discussed and I accepted long before we got married. I'm sorry it frustrates you, but every situation is different and it doesn't make my husband an a*****e.

    Sterilized after surgery?

    I had a consultation with my OB today and Essure done as an outpatient would be best if I lose more weight, but at my current weight would be surgery instead of vaginally. Going with Mirena for now. And hubs won't snip snip. :-(

    Recovery time?

    I went back to my desk job one week post op. I had a very easy recovery fortunately, but everyone is different.
