I was thinking that is awesome..but rare lol.. i was watching every morsel that i ate, didn't eat any junk, nothing processed or any sugars and i gained weight.... hence why i ended up getting the sleeve...

I think i reset my metabolism by eating little for so long, that whenever i ate, no matter how healthy and clean i gained weight.

I am losing slowly compared to virgin sleevers, but i am losing which is a start. Its frustrating but any loss is still a loss.. which is progress

Yeah i know!!

I had my sleeve done on the 20th April and have lost 22 pounds (10kg) so far.... but i have been very sensible with my eating and physical activity... my focus is on healing right now.

I know people lose much more during this time, but i am also considered a "lightweight".. so weight loss will generally be slower than someone who has more to lose

Well that's 17 more than I've lost in 2 years so good job! Lol. Good luck to you. I'm anxiously waiting to see if my insurance will cover it or not. I get a different answer each time on whether it's covered or not. :/ so emotional.

I will let you know. Hope to hear next week. We submitted without psych evaluation just to see if it comes back that the surgery will be covered with psych. I don't wanna pay another $140 just to find out its not covered.

I am taking "Active B12 with L-5-MTHF" lozenges from Seeking Health brand. Why wouldn't you just add it as a supplement?

Sent from my Nexus 6P using the BariatricPal App

I don't seem to improve levels with oral supplements. I'm currently doing injections of methyl b with methyl folate and an additional hydroxy b injection. Those have helped a lot. But I'll be changing insurance any my doctor doesn't take the new one. At 400 per appt, I won't be able to go back to her for refill. I think we will have kaiser and I've not heard good things about the more holistic approaches with kaiser. Closed minded was what friends have said.

      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.
