I have even had steak!! very encouraging Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was denied by my insurance after 5 months of pre-op appointments so I'll be going to Mexico. May I ask, why were you denied? That’s my fear. I’ve gotten all my medical clearances done and have my surgery date, but waiting for the ok from the insurance. I would hate to be denied when I've come so far.

I’m super constipated to not sure if that’s why I can’t drink more. Hey we’re twinsies!! I had mine the 4th too and I’ve lost 10 lbs since the surgery and I lost 15 before it! So I’m at 25 now and starting to feel great. It is def had to get enough fluids in. I sip ALL day on Water and my clear Protein (except when I’m going to try to have a “meal”). I drink my Protein Shake in the am within the first hour of getting up but I usually can only get down half of it in an hour or longer. I always go back to it later. I make sure I drink atleast 1 clear protein and 1 1/2-2 shakes and WATER all day- that will help with the constipation! Message me if you need any other help! I can help wherever I can! 1 E1enadanvers reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
