First I have to say I am sorry about the lost in the family. ...You and I almost have the same family members. They either moke, or drink very heavy. I looked to them for support and Ops! I'm doing this alone.Listen, try your best not to think about what is going on with them and focus on you, because any slip -up, will be on you not them. They ain't going no where! Finish what you started with a good aditude, and remember you are going to have a totaly different life when your all finished. P.S.- now if I have said something wrong, please don't hesitate to tell me. Good Luck to you ...elite53

Hello, I am going to come straight out and say, follow the pre-opt diet. See I know it would be better for you, I think the less things you have in your stomach the better.I liquids is to basicly keep your stomach and intestines clean. That is always a good idea when going under the nife for anythng.....But follow your heart and remember this is just for you and you are impotant, so stay TRUE to YOU....Don't cheat yourself out of a healther way of liveing, it will all pay off.....Good Luck and Paridise is right around the corner...This is something you have to learn now. I'll be back to see how you are doing........B-} elite53

I have been trying my best to have this operation. i was sent a book from my insurance company and found a few sergeons. The first one, went to the seminor and followed throw with all my appts.When I was to meet the nutrinoust, boy how things have changed. I was to pay a total of 4,000. for food pills and so on. I even had to get a co-signer.Well I called and told them I would go with a different plan, (much less) than I call my doctors office after 3 weeks of waiting to hear from them. I had no idea what I was in for," Oh, we don't take your insur. anymore".....that was it, my depression had ski-rocketed.I had lost a total of 18 lbs since , I was 350lbs and my BMI was 54.2.....now I am 330 and my BMI is 52. I have came so far and just can't give up. The next one was the same. If there is anyone out there who has been throw this , please help me find a dependable doctor or the right insurance. I have Medicaid and Affinity. In hopeing this Year is going to be the best for those who has had there surgery and are doinfg well... Thank you Ms. Elite53

I did everything my doctor told me to, but guess what, after loseing 13lbs being excited about doing this , I call my doctor after 3 weeks asking if he had recieved the reports of me following up on everything I had done.....OMG , my heart drop.now they tell me that my doctor doesn't take my insurance anymore.......I was crazy, but I had to hold on to myself and say "I came to far to let anyone stop me now, so I am looking for another doc. Sometimes I wonder what happen to me, where did all this lugage come from? If we had only new what we were doing to ourselfs, maybe , well anyway why didn't somebody say something or anything for that matter....I Pray for you that you make the right dicision and good luck...I will be here just incase. Ok, don't eat after 6pm, no white foods and diffenetly no sugar, I switch to sweet n low and its not that bad. Drink a lot of water before meals and small portions a MUST.... Elite53 -

Wow, you really put it out there. You sound so as if to be a trainer yourself! I thought your blog was a little long, but it keeps you reading.GREAT! I am to have my surgery in March , and I have already took of 13lbs, (knowing I have to lose before surgery). I have been useing my bike at home and for some reason my knees are easing up on me. Well the pain is not always there. You are right, the ways of your eating will change. I have gotten use to it already. I am 342lbs, from 352.2lbs.Thats what I weighed when I went for my first visit to meet my surgeon.(342lbs)....Anyway I am going to look forward for your next blog. Thank you MU-Dog, Good Luck and post the notes lol elite53
