Tami,

Thank you for that. I will also be on full liquids for Thanksgiving.....Pureed sweet potatoes thinned with milk and even additional non fat dry milk for added protein, a little Turkey broth, and I will be all set

Hi,   I met with my nutritionist today to go over meal plans for my first few weeks post-op.  I will be in full liquids on Thanksgiving.  She gave me an awesome menu so that I do not feel left out.  I thought I would share it:   Carrot or butternut squash soup pureed sweet and/or white potatoes thinned with milk or isopure. pureed peas thinned with milk or isopure turkey broth Pumpkin pie mix puree thinned with milk or isopure   I hope some people can use this and enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday!   Blessings, Tami

I just moved to the Phoenix area and I'm trying to find a good doctor to do a fill for me and just monitor me periodically in the future. I had my Lap-Band surgery in 2004 and have moved around a bit since then. Lost 80, gained 5-10 back, would like now that I'm settled to get more serious about losing more. I haven't had a fill in 18 months though and have stayed steady at around 225 since then.

Right now my insurance (RAN/AMN) says they'll only cover visits to Dr. Blackstone. I can't seem to get a call back from them. Does anyone know their policy on doing fills for patients who had their surgery elsewhere?

Apologies if this has already been discussed on the board elsewhere. I tried doing a search but the site doesn't appear to be too search-friendly.

thanks in advance!

Hey Girl! Nov. 25 is my day too!

Mirena IUD- it has only local effects, not systematic like pill, lasts 5+years, I have had NO periods since 2005 AND it is MORE effective than having your tubes tied, but completely reversible. I will never go back!
