12/21/16 - let the countdown begin! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I live in Florida. How are you doing? I have lost 16lbs so far and ate mashed potatoes and cottage cheese without issue. I have been taking my 30m daily walks and drinking copious amounts of Water every day. So far every day is better than the previous one. Can't wait to get some variety in my diet! How is your diet and recovery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i think the pill thing is not about swallowing it is about being able to have them in you long enough to absorb the medicine. I have a BP pill that is repulsive crushed but I force myself to choke it down every morning. So gross though. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

me too. Killing me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I caught a wicked cold. My surgery date is 12/21. I have been doing all kinds of cold meds and Neti pots but today I still feel terrible. If I don't get my surgery on Wednesday it may be postponed until February. That would make this a $5,000 cold (new deductible). Did anyone else have a cold and still get their surgery?

Had my surgery this morning. So far most annoying thing is chest pain when I talk too much. Swallow too much air. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

me either. I started the bowel prep and clear liquids today and my Surgery is Wednesday. My BMI is 35. I wonder if that makes a difference? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

my nutritionist wants me to have 60 grams a day ! i get in maybe 20? i just can't seem to acquire a taste for any that i've tried. they literally make me sick. i'm only a week out, so right now, Water and broth are my go to's. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App really ? when i looked it up, it said that my body absorbs it fully. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App what about the unjury chicken broth protein? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I live in FL and they have the Protein in Publix and Walmart. The protein (per my doc) should be whey Isolate. The Premier pre-mixed is at both stores and it is tolerable. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Waiting for insurance cannot schedule before. Waiting is driving me crazy. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I think I am more anxious to get to my surgery date than I was when I was 8 months pregnant to have my kids. I finished all of my testing and classes, just waiting to get insurance approval before I get the surgery date. So anxious! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I HATE artificial sweeteners. Can anyone recommend a palatable Protein shake that has little to no artificial sweeteners? My intake will be 64g protein Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am not sure. I have UHC through GE. I think they're just acting like an HMO despite being a PPO. We are limited to what pharmacy we can use. So controlling. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My insurance just asked for 5 years records. More waiting. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I saw those at Walmart this week. They were available as singles. I also saw my local target had several smaller packets of powder by the pharmacy. Vegan options mostly. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just tried a sample pack from GNC of bpi Sports ISO HD in Banana Cream Pie. 25g of Protein in a 5 oz drink. I just stirred it in cold Water, slightly lumpy but it was very tolerable and because it mixed in such a small amount of water it might be a good one for post surgical with low protein and limited consumption.
