Therapy. Find a counselor that does EMDR Therapy. It's the only thing that has helped. A lot of people like me, have had a lot of child hood trauma. It stays in your subconscience and you eat to soothe those subconscience memories. Check it out. You have to fix what's wrong in your head 1st. Also a low carb diet helps Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

I am wondering if thyroid function improves after surgery? I know some of us have problems with our thyroid, which makes losing weight harder. Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

My insurance, which is Molina, doesn't offer any classes. I wish they did. I would love this! Does anyone, who may have attended these classes, have any info they would like to share on some of the things they may have learned in class? I would really appreciate it. I've learned a lot on this forum and it's great, but I thought someone may have a new perspective. Thanks Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

Amazing what is in our subconscious. She is doing E.R.D.M. Therapy. It seems to help take a lot of negative things away, especially if you've delt with a lot of trauma. Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

Premier Protein shakes, boiled eggs, sugar free popsicles, shrimp, chicken breast, and a good therapist. I finally found a good therapist helping me with childhood issues, at least starting there. I've lost 7 pounds since August 14th. Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

The Pool is another option. Non Weight bearing and good weather for it. Check out your local Y.M C.A. Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

So I have been really trying hard to do low carb to get these 15 pounds off, so insurance will pay for my surgery. I don't have a scale but went to my mom's to weigh myself and the scale says the same weight as I was before I started the low carb diet. My clothes feel loser, I feel better and my mom says I look a lot more alert. I have been eating, chicken breast, cheese, premier Protein shakes, stir fry with cauliflower rice. I don't get it. I am able to move a lot better too. Just don't understand why the scale isn't moving. Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

I hear ya, Armygalbonnie! I can't find it either and I've really made some major typos, lol Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

So Im doing really good on the low carb diet now, clothes are fitting looser, but scale is not budging. I've been really constipated. Everyone tells me to drink a lot of Water, but, can't stand the taste. Iam having a hard time getting in 4 cups per day. Does anyone know of another liquid source that doesn't have any of the junk sweeteners, like aspartame? I would use crystal light over ice but doesn't crystal light have aspartame in it? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

Thank you, KristenLe. Thinking about Fuse slenderize as well Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

Sounds like a good idea but my dietician told me, no fruit Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

Premier Protein shake for Breakfast Trader Joe's has this stuff called cauliflower rice and it's a great rice substitute. Trader Joe's has chicken breast, frozen, vegetables, frozen, and shrimp. Mix together and make yourself some rice bowls. Try eating sugar free popcycles and lots of Water. Some cheese is ok. I come from exactly were your at. I have to lose 15 pounds before my insurance pays. I could not understand why it was so hard. Now, I will tell you. It's because of all the CRAP they put in our food to make us crave other foods. Especially fast foods. Have you ever gone to get fast food and a little while later, your craving something sweet? But you can go to places like Wendys and get a small chili. Iam not sure, but think it is ok. You would be surprised. I can see sweets now and not even want them. Also, boiled eggs are really good Good luck and keep me updated Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

Anyone know if when they do the sleeve, do they remove the gut flora? I've heard gut flora is essential for our well being. Not sure if it's in the stomach or intestines. Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App
