I dont get it...you didnt have to do all this stuff so your insurance would approve it?
He didnt make you do anything prior to surgery???? I dont believe that????

That is right, I did not speak to anyone other than the surgeon. I met him on a Thursday and had surgery that Monday. Everyone on this site has been more helpful that the staff! LOL Sad huh? But they thing is people say high protein and all I can think of is fish and chicken. I know I will figure it out as long as people keep responding to the S O S signals we send out on the web!
People also talk about restriction. What is that exactly and will I notice it? As of now I don't feel different and only know I had the surgery because I have the scars

I dont understand did they have you see a nutritionist? Everyone is different. Yes, you have to learn what to eat and not to eat. I think at the beginning till they give you fills and find the right spot you may feel that way. I started to feel that way after 3 wks and was like you, felt I could eat a truck and would feel ashamed after too that I ate too much. When I went to the dr I practically cried, told him I was doing well and now I was gaining etc. He gave me a fill, it takes up to 2 wks to feel. That was discouraging too, I am finally starting to feel it a little. Keep track of what you can eat or cite those examples to the doctor. When do you go back???? Just try and pick good things to eat in the meantime. Get a list of proteins, etc. High protein, low carb's.....I am the worst. If you can go to a nutritionist only if you go 1 or 2 times it is helpful. You didnt have to do this before surgery?

Topic: RE: energy levels?
We are definitely in that stage where our energy levels will have highs and lows. A couple of things that have been working for me:
1. Splitting up when I take my multivitamins- 1 in the am and one in the afternoon (still take my B's in the morning)
2. GNC Ultra Mega Liquid MultiVitamin- When I'm really dragging, I add a little to a bottle of water and it helps me perk up a little
