Topic: My insurance doesnt cover WLS
I am interested in learning more about Dr Nease, they called yesterday and told me to call my insurance and see if the procedure is covered, well no type of WLS is covered under our plan. We have Anthem BCBS. So what now?? I called the lady back at Dr. Neases office and left her a message telling her that it wasnt covered, but I havent heard back from her now.

Hi Cira,


Recipes are a good idea. Eggface always has good ones that are pouch friendly.
I will start looking for ones and maybe we can start posting recipes on here.

Have a great day.
Melinda

some friendly weight loss friendly recipes with everyone. I would to hear from you all.

Here is one was given to me:



Chicken tortilla wraps

requires:
1lb bonless skinless chicken breast
1 cup salsa
8oz sour cream (I used 0% greek yogurt instead)
1 small green pepper
1 med tomato
1/2 a med red onion
1 packet Taco seasoning mix
6 low carb tortillas ( I use the WRAP-ITZ low carb tortillas and they have like 5 grams of protein!!)
3/4 cup to 1 cup shredded lowfat mexican chesse

Preheat oven to 350. Dice chicken into small cubes and brown. Mix with the taco seasoning. Dice green pepper, tomato, and onion, set aside. Mix 1/2 cup of salsa with the 8oz of sour cream (I only used 6oz since I used a container of greek yogurt). Coat a baking dish with cooking spray. Take each tortilla and coat the inside of the tortilla with the sour cream/salsa mixture. Fill with taco seasoned chicken and veggies. Roll up and place seam side down in baking dish. Repeat for each tortilla. Once they are all rolled up and lined in the baking dish cover with the other 1/2 cup salsa. Bake for 15 mins. After that take it out and sprinkle cheese over top and bake for an additional 5 minutes. YUMMO!! and healthy!

Topic: RE: Fluid intake????
You know "our" nutritionists really have no idea how hard it can be for many post ops to reach their daily fluid requirement.  Especially when we are so early out.  I remember when I was 2 months out the most I got in was 40 ounces in a good day!

What my surgeon told me was to not shoot for the 64 oz this early on but to shoot for a realistic goal and gradually increase that goal on a weekly basis.  That worked out so much better for me and I stressed less about it.

So if one week I was drinking 40 oz every day then the next week I would shoot for 45 oz a day. If I met my goal for that entire week I would raise another few ounces. 

Also I have a friend that takes 6 bottles of water a day to work and a few thinks of sugar free to go drinks (great value brand walmart) or crystal light or lipton s/f. She would drink a bottle of water or add the drink to it and when she was done with that one she open the next bottle.  the bottles would be on her desk so she can remember to sip sip sip all day. 

I hope this helps some. 

Drinking your required fluid helps with the weight loss and keeping your body healthy.

Have a great day!

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.

Topic: RE: Fluid intake????
I have to admit that I do not get all of my fluid in. I feel like I am drinking constantly and not getting any where. I even wake up in the middle of the night and take drinks.

I too need to know the secret of getting it all in. The nut at the office tells me it shouldn't be any problem. Yea right!!!
