I read through most of the thred and soo sorry you had to go through all that but you got through it!! And May 17th is around the corner. I wonder why your not feeling well, seemed your first liquid diet wasn't that bad. Hang in there!!

I gotta get in the habit of a food log!

A lot of places have low calorie options and seem to accommodate certain diet restrictions.

With my son playing sports and always hungry when I pick him up from school I keep a cooler in the trunk. The hassle is dumping the water out and refilling with ice but it worked. I'd save money on going to the drive thru and he'd have a better foor option. I think I'll add some protein shakes and other things in there for me. I'm also a drive up queen.

Ouuuu Red Lobster is my FAVORITE! I know I'll have to say clear away from that place until I am not in any of the pre and post op phase. 🙂

Although I haven't done a ton of research of the hunger hormone in the stomach or intestine I would have to beleive it plays a big part in the whole thing. We also should break bad habits and chose better food choices which is why I'm going to see a behavior therapist as well. Maybe they can help me get my mind right.

I'm having bypass. I thought about the sleeve but my doctor says alot of people get revisions to the bypass because they don't lose at much.

How many pages is the binder?

Nope that's it. My suregon didn't say I had to see my primary doc. I had a bunch of blood test, and metabolic testing (breathed in a tube for 20 min) it told me how many calories to eat in order to lose weight etc.

Yea, I feel duped too!! Not 100% settled on my doctor. Althought I vibe with her personality and appreciate the length of time she takes to answer my questions I wish her program was more detailed. I would love a list of the tests required. Didn't know about any of it until I progressed thru the process. Knowing I would need a EGD that would cost $3k would have been helpful. I'm calling my insurance weekly asking questions about my coverage and costs. I'm finding out different hospitals charge differently for the same proceedure AND that I should look for a COE facility. Ok, most of that is off subject....🙂 but my point is I need to wrap my head around the tools (food scales, cups, books, apps) etc. that can help me pre and post op.

WAAAAIIIT!![emoji28][emoji28] I'm jealous of the binder your doctor provided! That is what I NEED. Your surgery is in 6 days!!! Congrats!!

Congrats!!! Where did you get the idea to purchase baby food, small forks etc. None of that would have crossed my mind... Yes, still going thru clearances. Psych eval on 5/11 4th doctor appointment on 5/16(last thing I need before pre authorization). Stress test June 4th Sleep study device being mailed to me next week. EGD[emoji818] 1st nutrition session[emoji818] workout coach meeting [emoji818]

Hi, I'm in south Dallas hoping to get my surgery date within a few weeks. Want to incorporate exercise in my daily lifestyle anyone in the area going to the gym regularly?

Yes gotta love Amazon. What stage are you in? Have you gotten your date yet? I feel like I'm frazzled and not able to focus on the things I should be.

Too funny! Mine was very similar to your experience. Except my surgeon said I have a huge hernia and inflammation.

Which books did you buy?

Ok, you guys are on the BALL!! I love it. Ok, where did you get your items? Amazon?

Yes, I mean gall stones NOT kidney stones. Hopefully this doesn't push back anything with my surgery date which isn't scheduled yet.

I think I just joined. Can you add me? I'm tayloreat713 on myfitness pal.

I haven't found one yet! It's gotta be oit there!!

Yes, I contacted them. Thanks!

That's a good way to put it! [emoji6]

Ahh ok! Thanks!

How do you join the forum if your not on Facebook?

Soooo...did more research and found that my surgeon participated in a bypass that caused a man to lose his legs...
