I've read where people say they've lost that much during the pre-op diet. Maybe you can test your "will power" a little early?

Protein 60-80grams per day (2-3shakes)

At least 64 ounces of Water daily

Clear liquids- all you want but no sugars (Jello, popsicles, low sodium broths, no caffeine teas, lemon Water w/ cayenne pepper pinch, etc)

All the leafy green veggies you want

*on rough days add 3oz meat Protein to dinner (tilapia, salmon, lean meats, etc)

Eat protein first during meals, drink shakes to "feel full', drink fluids all day.

I was just denied by Aetna due to weight gain. My doctor did a peer to peer appeal and they didnt overturn it. So Im waiting to see what the doctor says and whats my next step. I started birth control around the same time I went for my initial visit and I think that is the main reason that I had a lot of weight gain.

So sorry to hear about your denial. Hope everything works out. Keep us updated.

A total weight gain? Like you weighed more at your final weigh in than you did when you started? Or did you gain a pound or so while doing your weigh ins?

I started my consulation in May and my first weigh in was at 225. Around the same time I got on birth control. I delayed going to my doctor because I wasnt sure if I was going to do it. When I went back in late July I had gained like 12 lbs. It was so hard to lose it during my pre-diet. My last weigh in was at 242.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
