Starting process... Switching insurance
J.Diesel replied to juliansmommy's topic in Insurance & Financing
switching insurance might make you start all over again, as every insurance company has their own policy. You may want to understand this before the switch. What insurance does your husband have? -

I geel like I can eat too much...opinions
J.Diesel replied to 1sunnuri's topic in Food and Nutrition
In the scheme of things you are really not eating that much. Remember what you used to eat before. Everyone’s journey is different, some cannot eat much, some can eat more than other, but remember we are all eating so much less than we used too. Plus stalls happen, just don’t get discourage and keep on with the program, the weight will come off soon enough!! -
Awesome job...cheers to a healthier and a skinnier you!!

That's great...it feels good to eat pureed foods then soft solids I'm currently on. It gets easier once your off liquids. Plus our new and improved pouches can only hold very little now which is awesome.

Do you ever feel "normal" again?
J.Diesel replied to coopspa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
it gets easier everyday. I'm 23 days post surgery (lost 45 pounds) and it hasn't been hard at all. My eating habits have changed and I love that food doesn't run my life anymore. Cheers to becoming healthier and skinnier at the same time!! -
Oh i miss you, Mr Caffeine
J.Diesel replied to bnape29's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also loved Starbucks every morning for many years, but remember how many calories those drinks have. I have been off caffeine for roughly 2 months. I might stay off of caffeine because I know it might be a trigger for me. -
from what I hear there is a stall weeks 3 - 6. remember our bodies have gone through allot recently. Hopefully you'll start seeing the pounds drop soon enough. Reach out to your nutritionist and see what advice they can give you.

it's absolutely normal to feel scared. I had the same feeling I have two young boys, one still in diapers. But you need to remember we are doing this to be healthier and be around longer for yourself, kids, family, etc. I stopped being scared once I woke up from the anesthesia. Have a good support system at the hospital. I had my wife and parents with me. Trust all the research you did on the procedure and the surgeons.

Only you can answer if your big enough for this surgery. You need to do all the research needed for you to be both mentally and physically ready for this journey. your BMI is 34.2 and your range (Obese Class I (Moderately obese)). I have BCBS and the requirement was >40.

That's great...I will try some this week, and I love extremely spicy, i have to add additional hot sauce to make it just right!!

I did right after surgery for the first week, then it gradually went away since I started to move more and sleep in different positions.Try getting a massage to see if the takes the tightness away.

no drinking BEFORE meals?
J.Diesel replied to angry's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told to follow the 30-30-30 rule. It's hard sometimes, as I used to drink allot of liquids when I ate before my sleeve. But it gets easier every day. -
Great suggestion!! I will try this tonight. thanks for sharing.
