Don't you just love the inequality?

Turkey' date=' bacon, pepper jack and guacamole. My favorite healthy salad/sandwich.[/quote']

I'll agree that is a great sandwich. I've had a few of those during my lifetime.

On the eggface blog, she wraps the avocado and cheese in a turkey slice and grills it till the cheese is melty. Sounds fantastic! Surely a little Irish bacon in there won't hurt.

Thank you!!

Yes thank you!! I was sleeved May 16th 2013..i have Hasimoto's which can also make it hard to lose. I have lost 35 pounds so far due to having it under control along with surgery. But i can not say that for me my weight gain was all due to my thyroid....that's why i was just wondering how this surgery would still help you. Congrats and i am glad you have found a solution!! Best of luck!!

I pay $1200 a month for insurance that states right up front - we will not cover bariatric surgery - or any non-surgical weight loss -don't ask

I wish I had insurance that would pay for this - I will pay for my own psych opinion with my psychologist - I have arranged for my PCP to handle any complications after I get home. I may not have to go thru 6 mos. of PCP supervised weight loss, I also don't get to have this surgery in a hospital where I live. Life is not fair - I really get it.

Uh oh! I think I'm going to be in trouble for the "Barfy" comment' date='

I was a joke!!!! Don't yell at me nava... Navymo

Oh whatever you name is!!

Edit;

Oh navyma![/quote']

Laura-ven I know the difference between jokes and being mean. I THOUGHT this was a support forum, a place to give and get support. I know we are all at different places on our journey & I personally don't see the need for snarky comments or to attack people. It's nasty, uncalled for and just plain RUDE. I've seen it happen quite a few times on here.

Lauraven, I choose the name Navyma bc Navymom was taken and my son is active duty serving overseas, I haven't seen him for over a year & a half and he's 4th generation Navy on MY side (including myself). So maybe the background info can help you remember my screen name. :)

I like to slice up some avocado, put fresh lime juice on it, add salt and pepper, and put it on top of my black Beans that have already been warmed with melted cheese--and then top it all with plain Greek yogurt. One of my favorite go-to meals. I like fresh avocado even better than guacamole....

I'm so sorry for you that you pay so much a month and it's not covered! That is pure injustice!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
