So I purchased some of these today from a store called total nutrition. You can also order them online but only in cases. I ate one for dinner and it was really good! It's the perfect size. The crust is chicken breast with Parmesan cheese!

Taking pills/tablets

I was able to take pills a week out from bypass. -
B12 injections or pill?
pattycaketoo replied to Shades171's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon prescribed mine and yes it is covered by insurance, however the syringe isn’t. I pay $.25 a month for one. -
The new season starts Sunday!!

Too long on liquids?
pattycaketoo replied to Mary_rny's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Why is Your dietician controlling your diet phase? I would think the dr would take care of that. In my opinion that’s like a nurse trying to diagnose and treat.. -
Post Surgery Tastebuds Changes: tell me yours
pattycaketoo replied to GeTnBackuP's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I absolutely cannot eat tuna or eggs anymore. I have tried numerous times and I can’t. Also, spicy food seems to be more intense. Pre-surgery I could eat it without problems. I don’t know if it’s a mental thing because I can’t drink when I eat. -
Soft foods are generally stuff you can mash with a fork

Has anyone had Kidney Stones?
pattycaketoo replied to KKLive's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If it's a stone it could be moving and that's why it's not hurting in your back. I've actually had stones to block the urethra opening into my bladder and have to have surgery to remove it. Being a female the pain was worse than having a baby. Labor pains come and go, this pain is steady with no relief in between. -
Surgery Around the Holidays
pattycaketoo replied to LINZ62383's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery on 11/14/16, I was on the puréed stage at Thanksgiving. It wasn't a problem for me as I had no appetite at all. I just took my nutri bullet with me and weighed out my portions to equal 2-4 ounces. It bothered others more than it bothered me because they felt bad for eating regular food and larger amounts. -
I live in Texas and have this insurance, initially I was told 3 months, it turned out to be 6 months with the first visit not counting so it was 7 months. It all depends on what the company chooses.

I had to do it after my surgery. My insurance covered it as well. It's really not as bad as it seems and goes by fairly quick.

When I woke up I was very sore and felt bloated. Walk as much as you can and the gass will go away.

I was there at 5:30 in the morning for a 7:30 surgery. Got weighed and then an iv inserted with fluid and antibiotic. Then came in later with the happy juice. I was alright then.

Compression stockings in hospital
pattycaketoo replied to northstar9148's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just had the ones that would inflate and deflate in intervals. Once I was up walking I didn't have to use them. -
Pain medication post sleeve
pattycaketoo replied to PAguy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tylenol is our only option now. Anything else puts you at risk for ulcers. -
I have this, I live in Texas and they required me to do six months of NUT classes with the first visit not counting so I had 7 months.

I had to have my medicine reduced a month ago. I had surgery in November 2016(bypass). I had my thyroid removed years ago and had been taking 200 mcg daily for years. It is now at 150 mcg and my pcp said it may need to go lower. You will be fine once it's regulated. No worries [emoji4]

Flying after surgery???
pattycaketoo replied to blerdymermaid's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree, it's not a good idea to even pull it behind you. Mailing is a good idea. -
Hormonal driven lows/depression?
pattycaketoo replied to LittleLizzieLilliput's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is happening to me also. I had surgery in November 2016. This week has been really bad. -
I've lost 70 pounds since my surgery on 11/14/16 but I've also went from a 5X to a 2X in clothes.

Taking the Mobic could cause ulcers from what I was told. Actually any kind of nsaid can. Seems you might need an antibiotic instead. Omeprazole is an acid reducer to help your stomach heal so definitely take that one.
