I am new and have looked over every thread and searched every which way. I am 3 of 6 supervised diet program and keep gaining. I do not understand why. I am eating right, no cheating, exercising to the best of my ability (i get horrible headaches and dizzy), taking the vitamins but still gaining. I have Carefirst BCBS VA and looked at the medical policies required for the surgery. NO WHERE does it say I have to loose weight during the diet phase. I obviously cant seem to do it alone thats why im going for the surgery. Im 5'4 with a BMI of 49.7 as of this mornings weighing. my insurance policies say i need a BMI over 40 and psych eval. Anyone have experience with Carefirst rejecting due to weight gain? I am at my limit and stressing so bad which I am sure is adding to my weight gain. Hoping for surgery in June 2023 and looking for others experience and help. thanks in advance, and I am sorry if this asked before. I havent been able to find anything with this carrier.

Hoping for June as well!!! good luck!!

I have recently found individual packets from my local CVS WHEY Protein and the strawberry and cookies and cream are amazing. I cant do protein powders with water always fat free milk. I have also found waters on amazon with protein i will be using in my liquid phase. 4 bottles a day and get all water and protein requirements. I will not be worrying about can i handle this, when trying to recover from what I've read so far. The trick with protein powders is to blend WELL, like shake hard for 5 minutes. Coworkers now tease me that I'm about to start "tagging the place" because it sounds like a spray can lol.

I am new to the site and the procedure for my WLS. I was talking with friends who have had the bypass surgery and talk about the passing of gas and how lethal it is. I have a strange network around me lol. Anyways, I was wondering if any of you could shed some light on this for me. Have you noticed a distinctive difference and have you noticed a passing point (no pun intended). I work in a small office with a few others and I don't want to be clearing the office all day...
