Hi Damien, Welcome. I think it was 3 months after my first consult with the bariatric team, it took time to do all the tests and evals and go to some support group meetings. It all depends on your insurance company requirements. Let us know what you fing out. :cool: Tom

Hi Time 4 Me, Welcome. It sounds very frustrating to be all set to go only to be told to wait I hope it is a sure thing this next time. It is normal to question what you are about to do, it hit me like a ton of bricks the day I scheduled my surgery day, but I knew in my heart why I was doing...

Hi Carole, Welcome. I eat 5 to 6 times a day but I eat small meals because I fill up very fast too. Your lack of tolerance to the foods you listed are normal they call it dumping syndrome when certain foods make you feel sick, I have to be very careful with the amount of certain foods I eat...

Hi Cheryl, Welcome. How long has it been since your origional surgery? What are they going to do on your revision? Let us know how you are doing. :cool: Tom

Hi Betty, Welcome. Congratilations on your decision to have WLS. It should help you out with all the medical condition you listed, I was off high BP and cholesterol meds within a couple of weeks and most people with diabetes are on reduced meds if not totally off their meds soon after surgery. I...

Hi Suzie. I am sorry to hear you are in so much pain and on top of that no liquid pain meds, it is hard enough to get anything down the first week let alone a bitter crushed up pill, I do hope you start feeling better soon. Tom

Hi CD. Do they have a web site with a schedule posted on it? :cool: Tom

Hi Dejavu. Sounds like things are moving right along for you, that's Great:D! I like Karenina's idea wait until after the surgeon let's you know what he thinks you should have and the why's of it, then you can let him know what your druther are, who knows maybe he will tell you that in his...

Hi HL, Welcome. Congratulations on your weight loss your doing great! Ditto on what Pat said. Log what you eat and share it with your nutritionist to see if you need to make adjustments to your meal plan. You may just need a fill too. :cool: Tom

Hi Sandie, I also started with the EAS, it is very good and very agreeable before and after my RnY. I moved on to a higher protien mix but it took me a while to find a brand I liked with lots of flavors. My suggestion is get what you need and what you like to carry you through to your surgery...

Excellent job Jenn:D! You'll be there in no time at all. Keep on keeping on! :cool: Tom

Hi CdMiller, Welcome. Congratulations on the weight loss:D! My suggestion would be to consult a daititian to figure out how many calories you are burning a day to have your current meal plan meet your needs, you should be able to find a nice balanced healthy meal plan that works for you, you may...

Hi Hopeful, Welcome. I didn't have the sleeve so I am not familliar with your eating rules but we RnY'ers have one rule that most seem to forget and it can make us hungry when we shouldn't be. It is Rule #1 Don't drink and fluid 30 minutes before and 45 minutes after a meal, it will flush the...

Hi DiamondBe, Welcome. Like Java Joy said some more info would be helpful. One thing that stuck out was how much surgar? None would be the correct answer, no matter what surgery:rolleyes: Carbs are usually kept to less than 15 grams but if you are tolerating both of them I will take a guess and...

Hi Lindsay, I don't remember any crazy dreams before surgery but that was over two years ago so I may have forgotten them. I have had the terrible dreams of gaining back all my weight I lost and being back at square one, then I wake up terrified until I realize it was a dream. I think it is our...

The Appalachians are beautiful, I have been back east a few times and to Kentucky once. We have some nice golf courses here and all have wonderful views of Mt Shasta, I get out a few times a year, golfing has gotten easier but I can't blame my weight on how bad I play now:o I just play for fun...

Love the protien shakes, I haven't had or seen the bars but I would love to try them.:cool:
