I'm about to hit my 60 mark, but I'm not weighing myself as often and I used too. It gives me anxiety still even knowing I will see a change lol congrats on your loss!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh my!! I thought it was all in my head!! Thanks!! Never thought of my fat being insulation lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Literally sipping, I only have been taking sips that can Water my mouth and then have a little to swallow. It comes down like a knife immediately and feels like a thousand bricks at the top of my stomach followed by a sharp pain across my belly. 6 days post-op and follow iPod on Tuesday.

Wow! Thank you! Never even noticed because I haven't been able to stomach anything else, I'll try adding some lemon. The crystal light is too sweet for me. Powerade zero too sweet. I have no idea uuugghhh Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was a lower BMI so I couldn't lose anything due to insurance requirements. But once I had the go ahead I lost 30lbs doing the preop diet. Currently 5 days post op and haven't weighed myself Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Between preop testing and surgery I have spent close to $600. That was only because I have a $200 copay for the hospital, the actual surgery was covered at 100%. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

OMG! Me too! Doctor said I drank too fast. Which I probably??! How are you feeling now? My incisions are what's bothering me right now and I feel like I'm sleeping a lot more than I should. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have to do 2 days of a clear liquid diet. Surgery is on Monday and I'm hungry!! My day started at 7 and I've had: 42 ounces of Water 2- 5oz sugar free Jello 1- Isopure Protein drink (it was delicious) 1 cup of beef broth (this was life) I keep asking the kids if they're hungry because I'm hungry, they're looking at me like I'm crazy, and I just want something else! Headache galore and the anxiety is REAL! Uugghh it'll all be worth it in the end Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yayyy I check in @ 8 and scheduled for 11:30 am surgery good luck ladies!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I wish! Protein drinks (no shakes), broth, Jello, and popsicles surgery is tomorrow Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you! I don't think I would be able to do the liquids during the holidays, it was making my kids chicken fingers and I almost cried! I don't think I've thought about food this much EVER! Good luck on your new beginnings! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Are you allowed more protein drink? That's basically what I've been having, but I can have 4 protein drinks a day. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I can't have Protein powder so I've stocked up on the isopure drinks and Atkins lift but the lift is really sweet for me Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Does anyone else find these unbearably sweet? the bottle is done I can't wait to grab a bottle of Water because of how thirsty it makes me Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How do they test it? With blood or urine? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

In starting mine in Sunday 2 Protein shakes, 2 cups is broth, and Water water water! I also bought Lift by Atkins and Powerade zero to alternate the water and shakes. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The first week I had the same problem, I use the chewables from Bariatric Advantage, I noticed if I took them on an empty stomach that's when I would have to go. So now I make sure I have something/anything before taking them Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It seems that once the surgery is approved they received a letter from the insurance company. Was it like that for most of you? I called my insurance,carefirst bcbs, and they said the request and after being on hold for about 15 minutes she's says they submitted it twice but the first request was approved. Called the surgeons office and they say it's still pending. What should I do? Wait it out or do some more digging? Scheduled for 9/26 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How did you all decide on what Protein powder was best for you? Was it merely taste, price, or actually looking at protein grams? I've been researching and looking at labels for the past week and I'm starting to become very overwhelmed and stressed out! Surgery is scheduled for 9/26, I only have to do a 2 day clear liquid diet but I want to start 1 week before on a liquid diet Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Smooth Move Tea really helps! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I called and called and called my insurance carrier even after my doctors office reviewed by benefits with me just to make sure! You can always log on to your carriers website and they should have a breakdown of what's covered and what patient responsibility is. I knew I had a $200 copay for the hospital by looking at the benefits online and 1 week after I got my surgery date received a letter from the hospital to be prepared to pay that on the day of the surgery. Anesthesia is a separate benefit as well as the doctor that will be administering the anesthesia. The surgeon performing the surgery is also a separate benefit so go over that with his office directly, I only had to pay my copay for his services. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's the problem I think I'm having I don't want to stray to something that wasn't suggested. I saw one today that just listed 98% whey protein and just thought "it's too good to be true!" You've been really helpful thank you!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'll take your .52 cents! Lol they suggested only getting whey protein isolate making sure other nutritional values are met sugar, fats, sodium etc. It's just hard! I've been drinking Quest but feel I can get something better with more protein Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon gave me about 6 brands that he recommended all different grams of Proteins and prices Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
