using the nutribullet
keish_lorraine replied to jaysleever's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have a NutriBullet that I use daily. I love it. My nutritionist advised that Chia Seed would not be good for me after I sleeve. Does your new stomach tolerate it ok? -
Recently Lost a Best Friend Because of My Decision to Get Bariatric Surgery
keish_lorraine replied to Sharon C.'s topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
At the risk of sounding a bit brash...f**k your "friend". She sounds as if she's dealing with her own "fat acceptance" issues. You don't need those kind of people in your life. She's selfish. She created a whole blog post about YOUR surgery and made it about HER feelings. She doesn't care about you. She was never a friend. Cut that dead weight loose now. You'll feel much lighter when you do.- 140 replies

I have my medical clearance appointment on June 20th. When I meet with the surgeon, then I'll receive a surgery date. I'm so nervous and excited all at the same time. The pre-op requirement stuff went by so fast.

Psych Eval today
keish_lorraine replied to urban*decay's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm having my team appointment with the nutritionist and psychiatrist today as well. I just met with the Nutritionist. It was a breeze. I'm currently waiting in the lobby to meet with the Psychiatrist. I'm a bit nervous. -

I will be Late June or sometime in July. I'm from Wilmington, Delaware. The bonus about having a summer surgery is that I'll be able to get out and walk while the weather is nice.

Anyone try Sun Warrior Rice Protein pwdr?
keish_lorraine replied to Jaime_Boston's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Have you tried Garden of Life's Raw Meal? I like the chocolate Cacao flavor. I wasn't too thrilled with the vanilla flavor, but both are very filling, 100% natural and vegan. Garden of Life will send you two free samples of their products if you request it via their website. They're really friendly. -

Yes, I tried the vanilla protein powder. It was absolutely abysmal. The worst protein that I've ever tasted in my life. The after taste was just as horrendous. -

$600 Bariatric Program Fee
keish_lorraine replied to CurvyCakes's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My bariatric program fee is only $160 and that includes my insurance copays for my specialist appointments, group memberships, nutrition program, some life skills classes & some post-op stuff. I will have a separate charge of about 300 for the Protein shakes needed for the 2-week pre-op diet. That's not considered a part of the bariatric program. -
First initial appointment on Monday!
keish_lorraine replied to Sleeved_Bombshell's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Is it your first consultation after the weight loss surgery seminar? If so, it's pretty much a question and answer session with the doctor. The nurses will take your vitals and measurements. The doc will explain the procedure. Then you get to ask a bunch of questions. -
Low priced, high protein shake I've found post gastric sleeve
keish_lorraine replied to Julie K. Brown's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The price was a mistake I assume or they must have run out, because I just received an email from Amazon notifying me that my order was cancelled and that I will be refunded. -
I too have Highmark BCBS. I'm still pre-op. My cousin had no problem getting approval with Highmark BCBS. In fact, she was approved before she even finished her 6 month class requirement. It seemed pretty seamless.

I would stick with 2 for now. That's saving you money in the event that the shakes taste like liquid butt crack. lol -

Sleeve Gastrectomy sched 2/18/14 - looking for a buddy
keish_lorraine replied to NittanyLion's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi Lorraine, Glad to hear. Nice to have someone local. Do you have a surgery date? How are you feeling about the surgery? Tx, Gary I don't have a surgery date yet. I probably won't be scheduled for surgery until June or July. I'm nervous about surgery. I look forward to learning on this new journey though. -
Day 1 Pre-op opti-Fast
keish_lorraine replied to NittanyLion's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you only eating and drink opti-fast products for the pre-op diet or is there a meal allowed with the shakes?
