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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
