    slightly disappointed

    Chrisb428 replied to saygrace's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions

    Its so funny how different everyones experiences seem to be. They have drilled in my head how important it was to dramatically decrease my carbs. They told me I would be going through enough changes that basically going cold turkey on carbs was something i didnt wanna be doing on top of everything else.

    Chrisb428 replied to saygrace's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions

    I only meant that possibly the surgeon was thinking along the same lines and wants to see compliance on your part before putting u through for approval. Just a thought.

    Chrisb428 replied to saygrace's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions

    I was told my insurance won't even pay for it if I have any gain in the 6 mos pre op. It was explained by my primary care doctor as ...... "They don't want to waste the money paying if you can't comply. It is a tool and you still have to do your part."

    July or Aug. RnY buddies?

    Chrisb428 replied to dutchamy's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums

    If you go to trending topics there is a summer 2018 surgery buddies post. I'm sure u will find someone close to your date there. I don't have a date yet but am expecting late Aug/early Sept.

    I had never heard of that. Just googled it and some of their soups sound really good! The tomato basil and broccoli cheese, yum!!! There r recipes similar to both on pinterest.

    Aetna questions....any insurance question

    Chrisb428 replied to Gotta win 4me's topic in Insurance & Financing

    I don't know about your particular plan, but my Aetna has a 6 month requirement. I had already been seeing my pcp, endocrinologist, and a dietitian for 2 months for weight loss before my initial bariatric consult and was told they wouldn't count. I had to start from that point. Yours may be different, that was my experience.

    There are tons on Pinterest, that's where I have found most of mine. As far as bone broth goes, you can just put your meaty bones and any combo of herbs spices and chopped veggies that you like in water and slow simmer all day. I do mine just as if I were making a base for chicken soup. Can do beef as well.

    I bought silicone ice cube trays. Im going to make homemadr bone broth and cream or puree soups and since portion sizes will be so small at first, i will freeze them into cubes and store in a gallon ziploc bag so I can just pull out a few at a time and warm up.

    Thank you Ylime!

    I thought i read somewhere that you can only make edits for a certain amount of time after the initial post???? Could be wrong though.

    Snacking at the Movies

    Every time I tried low carb diets in the past, the parmesan chips and Turkey pepperoni chips were always a favorite too!

    I have started sampling some protein here and there and just tried chocolate muscle milk today. I read really good things about it. I found it to be HORRIBLY thick amd sweet even over ice. Is this the normal consistency of the chocolate protein shakes or is it just this brand?
  20. Chrisb428
    Yay! Congrats!
