So tomorrow is my surgery day!!! I am kind of nervous and I can't believe it's tomorrow morning! I know this is the best thing for me and am excited to start this journey. Just anxious is all... [emoji28]

Omg! I forgot to do that!! Lmao. See this is why I need help [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I'm sure you have worked very hard just to get where you are now! Post in here how you are doing. I, as well as others, can learn from your successes. Best wishes for you and for a speedy recovery. You've got this!!

That's a lot lost already, congrats. A little gain may come after adding food after a liquid diet for a week. I always go up then down when I get my period, that water weight. Sounds like you're doing a great job.

It's not a dumb question. I had some of the same issues with my insurance. I have a primary and secondary and the primary required me to have a bmi at 35 or more for the last 5 years. Problem is I have not. My secondary insurance does not require me to be at that bmi for that long. The only reason I'm able to get it with having a bmi at 35 is I have sleep apnea, high cholesterol, stress incontinence and bad hips. I think you only need two. I was worried about this too at the beginning as well. I will pray for you. I hope the insurance will approve you.

The scheduler called me back, was able to give me the June 2 date. I may be able to fly my mom in to help me, if she can get the time off. I'm just going to take it one day at a time at this point

Good luck!!

Yayyy 1 week down, feeling lighter and great already. Still on the liquid diet but starting to have tummy cramps here and there. I am not even drinking when the cramps occur, wondering if it's just excess gas or if I should be concerned since the pain is not to bad. Any advice??

I'm 6 weeks out tomorrow, and when I eat I am full and satisfied after 3-8oz, depending on what I had. The very first puree meal was disconcerting because I got full after 3 spoonfuls. I was like, what the heck?! But just now I finished a cup of clam and potato soup (first one of those), so to be sure things get easier. I see where portion control will be necessary long term.

Yes, I am getting exercise one day, I walked 45 minutes straight i drink enough and hardly pee I'm hungry all the time i honestly don't know what's wrong and I give up Did betters on Weight Watchers and am going to join again next week Thanks for your support
