Hello, and welcome to the board.  My name is Anita.  I had RNY on 9/16/08.  I have had no trouble except when I bend the rules a bit....i.e., I tried to eat tuna salad yesterday and my pouch rebelled in a major way.  (I rationalized that if I made it real soft with LF Mayo, it would be just fine)...NOT so.  My pouch, my "tool" rules my life and lets me know when it objects.  I'll be glad to share with you anything I have learned!  It's far more simple to just do what my doctor says!

...with the State of MS Blue Cross/Blue Shield AHS insurance?  I'm trying to help my mother find out if her policy will cover WLS and I just can't find a thing about it on the net.

Got some ideas on how to do this? I was thinking of just starting a discussion on getting everyone here involve.  We need them as much as they need us.

Topic: RE: Soups On!!!
Yesterday I cooked chicken in the crock pot with chicken boullion. And shredded it up last night to add to some low carb pasta and low carb alfredo sauce. Yummy! Tonight is church night and I'm not sure what's on the menu. I may actually grab a Slim Fast for supper since I won't have a lot of time to eat this evening.
