Oh, sorry kyn13, I didn't realize that was you who had mentioned the vyvanse. I have add, just can't focus kind. So, maybe this medicine would be too strong? I know of a few mess out there like phentermine and qsymia. An appitite depressant would be nice to find, just to help with the 15 pounds but I cant find any out there. At least on giogle Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App -

Emme.vee, thanks,I take benedryl but now I take advair and I am so tired the next day. But cant sleep at night. So, Iam going to try and just take the advair without the benadryl and see what happens. I will try that tea you mentioned as well. Thank you. There is a free app if you have a smartphone, called snore lab. You can record yourself to see if you snore or stop breathing. That would be a good indicator if you have sleep apnea or you could just record yourself in a re order. Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App -

Loca letta, I think it stresses us out more when they give us an ultimatum. You must lose 15 pounds or else! I lost 3 and my mina Case worker let me have it, she said, you only list 3??? So I gained r more since I last spoke to her. Ugh Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App -

Audaciousmarie, someone mentioned an adhd diet pill called vavance or something like that. I may see if I can get that in a small dose. Anything to help curb my appitite and get the weight off for surgery. Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App -

Audaciousmarie, I know, I think it's too low calorie. It's like we need to work down to that. Can't go from the amount of calories I am consuming down to what they say. There is no Counseling for emotional eaters. It's in our head, not our stomache Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App -

Thanks Kyn13. I appreciate the support so much. I like the idea of the turkey and cheese. I am going to try that. I am an emotional eater and it helps me sleep at night. Yesterday, I did good and went to bed. I kept waking up. I guess food soothes me in so many ways. Thanks again and talk to you soon. Going to try to get to bed now and see what happens Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App -

Thanks Katicem, I am going to try to follow you. I can't do tofu but will try everything else, thank you so much. I have the same trouble with carbs Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App -
Anyone doing low carb high Protein diet. I am about 3 months out and my insurance wants me to lose 15 pounds. Had scrambled eggs with cheese. My biggest problem is what to have for lunch. Anyone having success with this? Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

Bufflhead, I go to Trader Joe's all the time. Are you talking about the frozen uncooked chicken breast or are the ones you use cooked? Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

What did you eat for the pre op diet? My dietician just gave me a packet. Guess I am having trouble since my car accidents. I had some frontal lobe brain injury and do have trouble planning and organizing. It looks like it consists of Protein, non starchy vegetables and 1 fruit a day plus lots of Water. Ok, so will have a Protein shake for Breakfast, lean protein and vegetables for lunch and dinner and a shake in the evening. Does any one know if that sounds right? What does your day of eating look like? This is a far cry from the way I've been eating and I am paronoid I am going to mess up. My Molina Case worker, has already threatened to kick me off the program since I've only lost 3 pounds in 3months and I need to lose 15 in 6 months. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

That would be great if you could take those pics. I was looking for something like that. I just need to know what to eat during the day. I am not too active because of my bad knee Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App -
I live alone, so I don't know if I snore or have sleep apnea. I told my doctor, I don't think I do, so she did not order a sleep study. But, what if I do? I would freak out wearing one of those masks at night that help you breath. I am severely claustrophobic and I toss and turn all night. I sleep on my side too, never my back. Is anyone else having some of these issues too? Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App
