Don't get discouraged! The 3 week stall is a bummer, but you will get past it. Just continue following your diet. RNY 15 weeks out--83 lbs. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

If I had to do again...a sleep mask! I had to stay two nights and since the nurses check every couple of hours, they just flick on the light. Drove me nuts!

Where are you located?

RnY on December 2nd. Almost 4 weeks. Not doing too bad. Still having a hard time getting all my protein. I have not even thought about fruits and veggies. I am having a problem eating too fast. I set a stopwatch and other various timers, but I am still going too fast. I cause my chest to hurt because I have eaten too much. Any suggestions? How many ounces of purée should I be able to eat? Also does it hurt if I take a sip of liquid when my meal is finished? Not drinking a lot, but a sip or two?

I am a self pay patient in Memphis, TN. I paid $19,500 for gastric bypass on December 2nd. I was never told ANYTHING about complication insurance. I didn't even know this existed. My surgery was done through a Center of Excellence, so I still had to meet a few requirements that they have people using insurance complete. Overall I met all the requirements (nutrition class) and saw all docs (psych, cardio) and had a surgery date within 2 months.
