I am six days post op and I tried some puréed chicken salad today. Only had about 3 bites but I don't want to start bad habits early. No bad reactions and oh so tasty. I can't not do shakes they make me so gassy.

Yes , ice has been my savior lately.i can seem to keep drink any thing unless it is full of ice

I made it to the other side. 4 days post op and having trouble getting my fluid in. Any suggestions?

So depressed. ???? Went to my my pre-op testing. Surgery on Monday. I have not lost one pound since 8/21. I have been good about my eating. Working out no so much. But zero weight loss on the horrid pre- op diet. Feel like such a loser( not in the good way)????. Has anyone experienced this?

I am on day 7 and my scale says I only lost 2 pounds. I did cheat once and put cheese on my broccoli but no sugar or carbs. My doc didn't give me a certain amount of weight to lose but this is depressing. Does your cycle make a difference? I started my cycle day 4

Officially approved. ???????????? Surgery 9/15

I was using premier protein but my nut says I should only have protein isolate. The protein isolate shakes are disgusting and making this diet even harder

I am on day four and this totally sucks lol. I keep telling myself 11 days until surgery I can do it.

Thanks for the responses. I lost my manners thinking about food lol.

3 days into the pre op diet. Please give me some ideas. Tired of protein shakes

I do get four ounces of protein at dinner but I was told no yogurt. I can only mix shakes with water. This is the largest test of my will power.

Insurance approval submitted. If all goes well I will be sleeved 09/08

I am sitting in the lobby waiting for my psych eval. I don't know what to expect but here we go lol

Just got the news that I was cleared by the psych . Yay I am not crazy lol

When I got my labs back, I also had H. Pylori. I had to take 2 different antibiotics for 2 weeks. I didn't have any problems with the pills at all. Thank goodness!! The drs. Haven't said any more to me about it. From what I read, it's pretty rare for the antibiotics to not work. My surgery date is July 14th. I see my surgeon on July 1st so I will ask him about it then.Good luck on taking the meds. I just receive my lab work back and testes positive for h. Pylori. Will I have to have an endoscopy now?I was initially told I didn't need one because I have never had problems

I am so ticked off right now. I have been seeing my PCP for several months for Weight Managemnt and I was told this would count as towards my insurance requirements. So i spoke with the advocate at the hospital today and she informs me my doctors notes are not thorough enough . Now i have to start three months of classes. I ws hoping to have surgery soon . Al other pre -op testing done except psh eval which is scheduled next week. Now it may be late August before i am sleeved. (TEARS)

Thank you all so much. I feel better knowing it is possible. All of the ideas are worth a try. I plan to have my surgery within the next month or so and I want to start a healthy routine now so it will not be a total shock when the time comes. I have been hesitant to purchase too much because a lot of people say their taste buds change after surgery.

I am so scared of this process right now. My last weigh in is tomorrow and I know I need to make changes but I can NOT cook. Any suggestions on things I can get for the kitchen to make this better? I live on fast food. I can do smoothies but what else? I can boil eggs lol. But seriously HELP

Thank you so much. I will try this.

I have Aetna but I was told my PCP visits would count but I had to make sure I saw a nut at least twice also.

Did you have any problems getting approved? My advocate says Aetna is really strict about physicans notes.
