holding fast so far.... smells are starting to make me miss some food... 4 weeks on Wednesday.... on to soft foods. I think first thing up is a breadless sandwich... slice of lunch meat, slice of cheese with a pickle of some sort rolled up. sounds good in my head right now. last 10 days have been in stall mode.... I hate it. trying to stay positive. need to bust out of this stall and start losing weight.

like others have stated.... research your insurance plans coverage. find an approved clinic or doctor and pick up that phone. many insurance plans require some additional requirements such as a 3 to 6 month medically supervised diet. start reading all you can on here on what you can expect your surgery to be like.... read read read. best of luck and keep us updated...

have faith.... I am sure you will get it all straightened out with your appeal!!! best of luck!

great progress!

@@MarkX welcome. you will find lots of info and even more support on this site. good luck and keep us posted!

@@aSleeveStory welcome to this site. and good luck on your surgery in a few days.

congrats.... that is amazing!

I thought my insurance was pretty kick ass until I picked up that Rx....

@@CowgirlJane I hear you.... I always look at the signature stuff under the username. (i.e. surgery date and lbs lost, etc....)

@@Comeflywithme since may? you have come a long way. proud of you.... keep it up!!!

congrats.... 14 lbs in a week? sweet. best wishes as you move forward

cool NSV. I'll be looking. update with time when you find out...

glad you are feeling better for the most part.... time is the best medicine.

AWESOME! way to keep motivated during the winter months...

@@Damaged_massacre you resurrected a thread from last thanksgiving (2013).... not sure if anyone will record and keep records.

I own this one.... the best seller on amazon. awesome reviews.... I was not disappointed... http://www.amazon.com/Ozeri-Digital-Multifunction-Kitchen-Elegant/dp/B004164SRA/ref=lp_678508011_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1412523867&sr=1-1

hydrate and it could be possible that you are having some reflux that mimics hunger pains, and of course, years of eating weigh on your brain and your brain is the one that may be hungry. each day gets better. hang in there...

progress!!! sweet. good luck at your weigh in. I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised.

max 1/2 hour eating sessions, then as mentioned above walk away.... box it up and have the leftovers of the next several days. enjoy it everyday, just not all at once. you are most likely safe from a rare leak. take care

I have decided to keep my surgery a secret. Major reason for keeping it a secret is lack of understanding and all the misconceptions. I don't like to justify myself, plus I am pretty private. so my question is, if it does come out that I had surgery, what can I tell them that would jive with a VSG? gerd surgery? haital hernia repair? I need something good, if it comes up. I am a week out of surgery now and have this week off of work. no one knows why I took off time. told them it was just a staycation. told no family. but I had auto reply on my work e-mail and sister (with a mouth the size of texas) sent me an e-mail to work and had my auto reply kick back to her. Now she knows that I was off..... she asked if I was on vacation and I replied "yup". hopefully it can die there.... but if not.

this is a great tool. I too loved to eat. this tool changes that. it helps you look at food differently. I had to make the choice. live a long healthy thinner life, or stay morbidly obese and face a shorter lifespan. choice is yours.... research, weigh your pros vs cons. good luck

support? you're looking for support? you have found the right place my friend. This site you have stumbled upon has been awesome to me. Good luck and spend a lot of time on here.... I promise you will learn a lot too.

Fear not..... totally normal. I'm in a stall right now too. search week 3 stall. seems like everyone goes though it. take care and stick to the plan

so amazing. congrats to you...
