I would love to find some local buddies that are going through the same thing as me. My surgery was January 11th. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on the 11th and try to minimize my drinking while eating or around eating but I can't do it. I am not meeting my Protein or Water requirements either so if my body wants a drink I do it. Probably not the best way to go about it but it seems to still be working for me.

Honesty hour: need help
20mustang02 replied to AshleyinOnederland's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My Dr cleared me from liquid to puree and puree to mashed/soft about 4 days early each time. Just call your Dr and ask. The worst thing they say is no. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App -

Returning to work
20mustang02 replied to vegas_mimi's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I took off 6 day and I have an office job. I wish I would have taken the two weeks. I ended up working half days and hating it. You just end up being so tired. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App -
Self Pay and a surgical Center
20mustang02 replied to Charisma's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did. It ended up being like 16,500. My insurance wouldn't cover it. They did cover my labs, meds and ekgs. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App -
Sadly I think you can only be supportive as much as you can but she is an adult and going to do whatever she wants to. Hopefully when you are handling yours she will pick up some better habits. Good luck. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Head hunger vs real hunger
20mustang02 replied to hotmamma1979's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I have this problem. Like we should have IHOP for dinner because pancakes sound good but I wasn't hungry. I had to stop and ask myself am I thinking and wanting this food out of habit or because I am hungry. 100% of the time when I wanted stuff like that it was because of habit versus when I was like I should have Protein because I haven't had any in so many hours. You will figure it out, you just have to stop and ask yourself some questions. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App -
My sister is going through them. They are making her do all these appointments that seem to set it up to be that long. She called 3 times a week and got on cancelation list and ended up getting everything she needed done in a month. Just be proactive and stay on top of them if you want to speed up the process.
