Did you ever find out about the fills?

I went in for my first fill and didn't get it because I was losing without it. Jeannie says it is billed like a visit, Lindsey told me the first 3-4 were included in the cost. I guess Lindsey was wrong. Doesn't do me any good to argue about it, I suppose. I have to have it, so I'm going to have to pay I guess. I go next Monday for one.

Thanks. :thumbup: I'm going to insist on a fill this time. When I was on liquids and mushies I had no appetite because everything just kinda got gross after a while. Now that I'm back on regular food, I'm hungry!!!:cool2:

Hi everyone. I was just thinking, since we're all right here in the Parkersburg area, we should plan a get together! It would be fun to get to know everyone and compare stories about what we're going through. What do you think? :)

A get together sounds fun! Even though I'm months away from surgery it'd be great motivation to see all you skinny, healthy people! So how do we find people? Any idea?

Jennifer

p.s. Amazing revelation from my food diary....know how many timbits are a serving? ONE! Holy cow! They're 34 calories a piece...I was shocked!

Hi guys! Just checking in here to get support. Hubby and I have started our 6-month diet, working with Lindsey. Wow...once you write things down it's pretty amazing how many calories there are in food. I found out that one timbit is a serving...I used to eat maybe 20 at a time! I'm lucky, the people I work with are super supportive! They're writing down their food too and almost everyone is using a pedometer and encouraging everyone to walk more.

I haven't done stellar the last 3 days. Haven't written down a thing. I hope I don't get flogged to bad! My 20 month old has strep throat and has just felt horrible. Fevered, crying, needy. I've eaten, but I honestly can't tell you what. She's finally on the mend and I'll be better!

I wish other people who see Dr. Kaplan would post here! We could form our own little community.

Jenn

Dr KAPLAN WAS MY SURGEON AND I WAS BANDED IN APRIL:thumbup: JUST KEEP ON TRACK AND KEEP UP THE HARD WORK TRUST ME IT IS ALL WORTH IT. I DON'T REGRET HAVING DONE FOR A MINUTE, HE IS VERY HELPFUL WITH US AND WILL DO ANYTHING HE CAN FOR YOU.. YOU WON'T BE SORRY YOU HAD IT DONE.. NICE TO MEET OTHERS ON HERE.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
