Topic: RE: Hello!
I had trouble with constipation too.  Added benefiber or generic to my crystal light, no added texture or taste with it.  Miralax, also added to crystal light, sometimes along with the benefiber.  Our bodies are not adjusted to the change in eating pattern.  I still use the benefiber as needed and I am now 2 years out from surgery.

Pass on my congratulations to your hubby.  I wish mine would consider wls.  Life is so much better with less of me to carry about.  Looking forward to hearing your story too.  What are your first names?

Congratulations Sara, looking forward to you new pics.  Now, quit cheating.  You are the only one you harm with choosing unwisely.  Get a good education and come share when you can.  Hugs

Topic: RE: newbie
Welcome to the group Mion.  Congrats on getting close to a surgery date.  You will do well, I can feel it in my bones.  This time waiting for surgery brings ups and downs.  Keep working you way through all the hoops to prep for surgery.  Any specific questions we can address?  Do being a pillow for padding the seat belt on the trip home, comfy slippers that you can slip into and a tube of lip balm.  I packed several other things for the trip to the hospital and did not even take them out of my suitcase.  Looking forward to getting to know you better and sharing your journey with you.

Let's lose together, hugs.  Kathy

Topic: RE: Newbie and need help!!!
Vegas, the other posters are right on target.  This is not a diet, this is a lifestyle.  Where are you at in the process?  Most folks have monthly appointments with a dietician to review what they are eating, plan healthier options and get set for the life changes that you will be making.  Let's share, post again.

Topic: RE: very frustrated...
Just jump through the hoops, one at a time.  The insurance companies put these obstacles in our paths as they make sure that we are making informed decisions and to get us into the optimal health to have the surgery.

Stand up for your needs, do not let this get you down.  Soon you will have completed the pre op routines and we will be reading that you have a surgery date.
