Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

| Administrator  | Geeeez, What a Stupid Question....... I started with 3 meals a day for about the first six months then went to 5 meals a day for about the next 4 years. I am much more of a grazer now a days. You can ask Doc Sanae; it looks like I am eating almost all day long. Sometimes I have just a taste, then other time I will eact 5 or 6 bites depending on the density of the food. Keep in mind that I am 9 years out and kinda know where my gag and dump levels are with different foods. Liquid sugars are still 100% a no-no. Who else has Stupid Answers for this stupid question...

| Super Moderator  | Craig, I figure you're a grazer partly because you work out of your own home, so you can do whatever whenever! With a small pouch, 4-5 meals a day probably is most realistic, 3 meals plus small snacks if you get too hungry in-between. Let your body know that you get fuled at regular intervals, and it'll work on losing excess/stabilizing your weight, and not try to keep everything because it doesn't know when the next "fix" is coming.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | Well, I'm a grazer too, I guess. I am home all the time because I've been on the disabled list since 1994. Like Craig I have a bite here and there and sometimes I have 4 or 5 bites. No sugars, very little fat and low cholesterol always. I try to concentrate on proteins.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   | Well i have my days were i graze, another work at home lady who has to serve crackers, chips and cookies to little ones. BUT for the most part i do eat 3 meals and have 3 defined snacks a day. FOR me i wont change a thing because i have done pretty well in the weight loss. I am a believer of the mini meals but i am hearing surgeons telling people to cut out snacks mine promotes the way i eat. JUST my two cents worth lisa PS: miss you shelley didnt see u in chat today

| Newbie | I am 4 years out of gastric bypass. The first year I lost 77lbs. The very next year I had a nother surgery and I gained 25lbs. I now find myself fighting with my weight again. I get hungry every two hours and I have found myself addicted to sunflower seeds. I am glad I had the surgery but I am very disapointed in myself. |

| Super Moderator | lady jane, welcome to the board, (((((HUGS))))) Thank you for joining us. Have you ever considered going back to the starting point? Some drs instruct their patients to do so, you know. Go back to right from immediately post op. Liquids for 1-2 weeks, pureed for another 1-2 weeks, then soft foods for a couple more, then slowly to regular food. This seems to help recondition your pouch. Hope you'll be able to win this fight.

| WLS Mentor  | ladyjane, i'm sorry about the weight gain, i haven't had the surgery yet but the people here who have are always so helpful so you came to a good place for support from both pre-ops and post-ops. as for the eating thing, even thought i haven't had the surgery yet here's my opinion. i used to try to eat 3 meals a day and nothing else. found i was gaining weight because of always eating more than i needed in hopes to get through to the next meal without hunger, now i switch to 5 mini meals a day and actually started losing a few lbs. i too am home all day and it is soooo easy to graze and not pay attention that i found i had to write down what i ate, when i ate it and how it was prepared for a few months to get used to it. makes you think twice about what you are putting in your mouth,
