Well stalling is normal. but 1200 calories would probably be better.

Congrats to you! It's so exciting! When is your surgery?

Good job Tammy [emoji1319][emoji1319][emoji106] You are so close that's awesome!!

That's really good to hear! I've been nervous....my insurance has a 12 month wait, but I did 12 months of weight management through them... so I'm hoping we are starting the process in time that all that counts!

*** UPDATE *** I am so happy to know this had nothing to do with my gastric sleeve surgery. I had some tests done and its a female problem... Its endometrium on my uterus. Gotta have surgery again to fix this. But thankful I have a diagnosis.

I called today and the lady was extremely nice and basically told me that as stated the requirements are for you to complete the 3 months supervised diet regardless wether you go loose weight or not. Luckily for me as of today, I lost the weight I gained on vacation and now and I am 2 pounds less than starting weight. I am tracking all I eat and I have increased my exercise going to the gym at work during lunch and Orange Theory in the evenings.

I FELT THE SAME WAY. I'M 13 DAYS POST-OP. JUST MAKE SURE YOU SIP AND DO ONLY WHAT THEY TELL YOU.

I didn't tell anyone at work the specifics of my surgery (except my best friend who just happens to work at the same place). When I requested my leave of absence I said I was having major abdominal surgery - and that is what my surgeon puts on the paperwork as well. And I just told my team I was having surgery and would be out 4-6 weeks. Anyone who inquired further was met with a blank stare because it is none of their business. Actually, that's not entirely true....if people were especially pushy I told them random stuff like "boob job" or "lobotomy".

Funny, because I just renewed my passport - I was going to do it last year, but didn't get around to it. Glad I waited.

True, but you but for a document that is supposed to last 5-10 years anyway, you shouldn't be forced to update a passport before its expiration date because of weight loss. That's where immigration officers need to use some gumption
