My plan is Tufts Health Plan and they paid for 90%.
Feeling lucky!
Hi, I eat 4 ounces of protein and a 1/2 cup of veggies 3 x a day. every so often I will have a piece of fruit between meals. Every so often I will have potato or pasta.
I think it would be...
23 pounds in 4 weeks? That is a huge weight loss. I am not sure what your expectations are, but 5 pounds a week is really fast.
Things I am glad I did the couple of weeks before surgery. Purchased a set of baby spoons to control the bites of food. Walked 2 miles a day just to try to start a habit. Did not drink anything 30...
I was in the same boat 4 weeks out. Went to my PCP and she knocked down my BP meds by 75%. I felt like a new person the next day. I also started taking B12 sublingually.
You've done a wonderful job and you look great. Make sure to update your ticker to reflect your total numbers.
Best.
Wow! You are doing an awesome job! I definitely need to up my game.
You won't have to wait before and after protein drink to drink water. For the first 2 weeks after surgery the protein shakes count towards your liquid requirement.
Best of luck on your surgery. ...
COngratulations on surgery. Yes, this happened to me. For me that was acid that was making me feel hungry. I take an acid reducer twice a day and that has gone away.
Best of luck.
I have been in my 3 week stall for the past 3 weeks! I am guilty of weighing myself several times a day! I know, I am a goofball. Today I promised I would not weigh myself but once a week because...
So, everything has gone really well since surgery. This week I was moved to ground meat and mushy food phase- 3 ozs per meal. At lunch today I wasn't sure I was full, since I was gauging it by how...
Katrina,
I send blessings and positive thoughts your way.
Namaste.
Today I had my two week post op visit with my nutritionist and my surgeon. I lost 13 pounds since surgery, for a total of 31 lost since July 9, 2015. All three of us were very pleased with my...
You look like a completely different person. Keep up the good work!
You won't be able to do a lot of that stuff until you are given the okay by your surgeon. I was fine driving 4 days after surgery and have been walking more and more each day.
Best of luck!
Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your decision to have surgery. Make sure to ask any and all questions you may have.
Namaste.
Hi, My surgery was on 9/15. I am feeling amazingly well. No problem getting down the protein drinks and water. I can't wait for real food since I am sick and tired of the sweet drinks. Every day...
Best of luck on your surgery. Remember to take it one day at a time.
I am taking Biotin, meeting the protein requirements, and just starting taking Vitamin B12 sublingually. Oh yeah, and I am crossing my fingers that it won't get too bad.
Best of luck.
So, I am only about 10 days out from surgery. I am only focusing on counting my daily intake of protein and liquid. My plan is to continue in that manner until I lose all of the weight.
If you...
I am 8 days post op and can comfortably drink a quarter of a glass of water withiout problem. You will be fine making the necessary changes.
Namaste.
Okay. A lot of us got fat trying to satisfy everyone else's expectations rather than our own. You went through this surgery for yourself and your health. If you feel good about your accomplishment...
Did your Doctor say you were allowed fruit during the pre op diet? I would do whatever they said to do,
Best of luck to you!
