Wow that's great! I just started yesterday and will weigh in at the end of the week. I already feel great. How is it going for you? How much weight have you lost?

Congrats! I was sleeved July 10th of 2014 so I'm 6 months out. Feel free to ask any questions! I'm still learning as I go too.

I also had surgery on the 10th. I haven't had any issues with meat, but I've only tried canned chicken and tuna so far. I pureed tuna, mayo, salt, pepper onion and and a little cheddar together and it was delicious. I've also warmed some canned chicken in a pan but not until it fried, and mixed it with refried beans,…

Good luck! That vegetable bake sounds amazing! Do you have a recipe or just chop up some veggies, throw in some chicken and top it with cheese?

Nights are the hardest for me too. And I have a sweet tooth! I also freeze a Hershey bar and allow myself one frozen square of chocolate a night. I try to find things to distract me.

Hello Everyone. I too would like to know estimated recovery time. My aunt had the surgery in September. She said she had the surgery on a Thursday and by the following Wednesday she was back at her office job but just worked until 3:00 the rest of the week. She said the pain wasn't the worst thing, she was more tired than…

Has anyone had the surgery while covered by Medicaid? I am on Medicaid and currently going through the pre-op process. I've heard that Medicaid is very particular about the requirements for the surgery. I have a BMI over 40 and 2 co-morbidities, but the WLS coordinator thinks since my co-morbidities can be treated with…

They have a fantastic Santa Fe grilled chicken salad. If I'm craving fast food, I treat myself to one Mcdouble and apple slices. This nutrition chart saves me from making horrible choices. http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/getnutrition/nutritionfacts.pdf

I just got a cut/color and eyebrow wax for $60. The salon I go to charges $15 for a cut.

Great post!! I totally agree. I am currently going through the beginning requirements for the gastric sleeve(4 month documented diet, proof of co-morbidities, sleep study, psychological interview) because of the kind of insurance I'm on. All insurance's are different. I've researched the gastric sleeve since September of…
