catlynk 79 Posted October 28, 2015 Welcome Catherine! I was Oct 5th too. So glad you're finally able to post! Looking forward to getting to know you better. I track my food on my fitness pal, bit more for Protein goals right now. My doc said stay under 1000 for weight loss at my size, so I try to stay under 800 personally. I find its hard to get much more than that in though. Been feeling more restrictions lately on soft foods. Funny when I am full now I hiccup and my nose starts to run. Makes me giggle a little. It's so different. Chrys129, thanks for the info, I will add you as a friend on my fitness pal. Are you hungry often? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shakti 55 Posted October 29, 2015 Shakti, try to identify if it is tummy hunger or head hunger. I keep busy so I do not think of food. Don't know what you do for exercise. Probably a combination of both, though as I enter week 4 I am finally feeling the restriction aspect. I am not exercising yet but I know I need to start. I have 1 'bad' knee. I used to enjoy swimming - does anyone else swim and find it an effective calorie/fat burner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abs0253 193 Posted October 29, 2015 It took about 2 days once it was in their systems, however my Drs. office sent it certified returned receipt and they actually received it 2 weeks prior to that. The only required a letter of "medical neccesity" from the Drs. office. I kept calling Humana but they will NOT tell you anything over the phone. It wasn't until I received a letter in the mail, my Drs. office received one as well. Humana Rocks!!! mary, I have no clue how surgery turned into algebra..lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
