    Welcome to the board and congratulations on your decision to have the gastric sleeve.

    I have a few suggestions. For a clear protein, I suggest Protica Profect 50. It is a whopping 50 grams of protein in a 3.2 oz vial Protica - Detail

    For a really great tasting protein powder, I suggest Max Protein. You can purchase at GNC or online. SEI Pharmaceuticals

    To keep track of your calorie intake and measurements and weight. FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal This is really useful when you think you've stalled on your weight loss. You can look at what you actually measure!

    Last but not least this blog - theworldaccordingtoeggface She had a different surgery, but posts some great recipe's and suggestions.

    I was on clear liquids for a week, full liquids for another week, puree'd foods for a week, soft foods for a week and then slowly moved on to regular foods while still including the previous foods into my daily food intake. Just don't get ahead of yourself. Take small sips and then small bites. Don't be in a big hurry to eat whatever you want.

    Keep a positive attitude and you will do great!

Calling on the ladies... Did anyone have to stop taking their birth control pill prior to sugery? I take the pill to keep from having "stay in bed for days" cramps and would hate to have to stop. Thanks!

Borderline BMI for Insurance to Cover Sugery

by Shelby on 05-25-2011 at 10:20 AM
I hope someone can help with my question...

I am 43 and have been overwight since age 8. I am 5'3' and fluctuate between 220 and 225 pounds. In the process for surgery I am on the 6 month dietician portion prior to my doctor going for autoriztion. Now, if I was to loose 5 or 10 pounds I would be under the BMI of 40. Would I be declined? I have no health problems other than high cholestoral and bad knees and feet.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
