    Scared To Get My Hopes Up.

    I have UHC. Was approved the first time. I was determined to have surgery so I told a select few once I started the process. I didn't even have a surgery date until 3 weeks prior to surgery! Started process in Oct and had surgery in Apr. don't be scared. If you have additional questions feel free to message me. Good luck in your journey

    Question About Pre-Op Liquid Diet

    Your surgeon usually designates what kind of pre-op diet they want you on. Mine had me on liquid. You should call your surgeon's office and ask.
  3. In 9 days I will be embarking on trip to Europe. Germany, Switzerland, Italy, London and Amsterdam. I even got tickets to an Olympic event!!! Although I am beyond estatic for this trip I can't help but feel down. I had surgery 4/10/12, since then I've lost 63 pounds to include pre-op weight lost. I know I should be happy but I feel like I could of lost more for this trip. I guess I worry I'll still be big on the plane and I'll still have trouble moving around on walking tours. Maybe it's all mental? Ive been feeling great, people noticing the weight loss and my mom says I walk now with more confidence but as the trip gets closer I feel depressed about not losing more weight. I went from 403 pounds down to 340 pounds. I gained about 3 pounds this past week and I think that's what has gotten me bothered. Any suggestions to help me get out of this funk and in a better mood?

    Cheating On Pre-Op Diet

    I cheated on my pre op then I got back on track. It's hard but you have to overcome it. The doc will know if you did what you were suppose to. I had surgery in April and my surgeon told me my liver looked good. It was normal size. Pre-Op diet helps it shrink down.

  9. So I finally decided to bare trying on clothes after losing so far 57 pounds. I went to Torrid yesterday since they were having a buy one get one half off sale. I tried on this dress http://www.torrid.com/torrid/Clothing/Dresses/Casual//Black+And+Electric+Blue+Color+Block+Maxi-536490.jsp and another maxi dress. I used to wear a size 4 (26/28 )in this store and now I'm down to a size 2 (18/20) when it comes to dresses. I was so excited I started crying thinking about how when I was bigger it was harder to find something and how far I've come. It felt really good fitting into those dresses. So now I have two cute dresses for my trip to Europe next month. Here's a pic of the other dress I bought. Can't wait to see more results and enjoying my new life. Sent from my iPhone using VST

    Bad News :(

    I'm sorry to hear your husband got fired, as the others mentioned COBRA continues with the same insurance company. Hope things get better for you and your family. Good luck on your journey to surgery
  11. I've been having shakes or oatmeal for Breakfast. Eating salads for lunch or lean cusine.I think because I don't eat a lot as it is and the foods aren't dense that's what's making me hungry. Think I need to add more Protein and denser foods like you said. Sent from my iPhone using VST
