Topic: RE: post op appt!
talked to my dr because I tried rice milk (I hate soy) and that made me nauseaus so he goes..maybe its the shake mix..sometimes we get used to it and then we sorta reject it after a while..try whey protein and dabble with some foods. UGH! I am able to eat eggs now and milk is fine if its a glass by itself. I can have mashed potatoes and cream of wheat and jello and pudding and applesauce. I havent dared try anything thicker or more substancial... :)

Topic: RE: BCBS of MA (PPO) Requirements
I've got BCBS HMO Blue New England. No requirements otherthan your doc needs to deem surgery "medically necessary"! I was approved for a lapband in 07 then RNY in 2010! I've never seen a bill!! Just follow the Brigham requirements and you'll be good to go!

Sounds like you're doing great, how about making a shake with jus****er or using nectar protein with water. good job!!
Topic: RE: BCBS of MA (PPO) Requirements
I had BCBS HMO. It is by far one of the easiest insurance companies to deal with. They rarely deny a claim. They have absolutely no requirements as far as pre-op classes. The only requirements I had were either 1.) BMI higher than 35. Or 2.) BMI lower but also have co-morbidies.
You should be A-Ok
Best of luck !!

If your having trouble with milk, as some of us do, try switching to soy milk or lactaid. I made the permanent switch to soy milk years ago and never looked back. Personally I prefer Silk Light Vanilla Soymilk, but 8th Continent isn't bad either. It also adds more protein to your diet than cows milk.
