RELAX! I was just like u. I was so worried about not losing I almost lost too much. My authorization came in under 2 weeks. I didn't need a letter so cant advise u there. It'll happen. Good luck.

Popscicles saved me. Mils also help. I'm 5 weeks out and now cant stand water. Even most drinks taste like soap water to me. But I get the fluids anyway I can.

No its normal. Be careful. Your not suppose to carry over 25 lbs. That's awfully close. Good luck.

Hi. We had our surgery same day different hospitals. Dr. Lavins my doc. I too had a stall last week. But I have progressed. ,J too am still tired. Exercise consist of walking up and down the driveway. But I see progress more in how I look than the scale. I wish j would have measured my body from the beginning. That way I could track the changes. But stay strong. We will get to our goal weight. You should meet our group for lunch. Kellsbells usually post when and where we go. Were all in different stages and its really helpful. Hope to hearfrom u soon.

This is typical. I got exhausted just showering. It took 3-4 weeks to feel Good. I still get tired. Im 5 weeks out.I'm finally not having waves of exhaustion. Drink drink drink. Get your protein and you'll do great. Good luck

Today's my surgery day. I'm really ok. Not excited or nervous. I figured that im really good with my decision to have the procedure. I'm confident with my doctor. Guess the biggest challenge I have this morning is dragging the garbage can up my 800FT driveway. See everyone on the losers bench. Thanks to all the great people I have met on this forum. Y'all are the bomb.

Good luck LacyD. Ill keep you in my prayers.

Congrads. My surgery is this week. If you have a question let me know. Good luck.

I'm also on Wednesday. I have to say I ate things I put on my extinction list. I only have one day liquids so I'm ready. Good luck fellow sleevers. Hope we all see each other on the losers bench

Both is the best. Two staple lines and suture gives maximum protection against leaks. This is how my surgeon performs his surgeries. Good luck

You should be havingblood test that will let you know hour values. My internist will follow me. Check with your doc.good luck

Keep the faith. If it does get pushed back, its ok. Tryand stay positive. Its going to work out just keep after your surgeons office. And keep track of all conversations. Who you talked to, date,time, etc....good luck

Yes. I lost 25lbs. I focused on if I don't lose it, I cant have surgery. That kept me from cheating. Now I'm approved got my surgery date and I'm cheating. But not bad. Don't focus on the after, focus on now. I drank a protein meal replacement in the am. And under 350 calories frozen box for lunch and dinner with protein shacks inbetween. If I can do it you can. Keep your eyes on the prize. A slimmer healthier you. Good luck.

Yea. So excited. Cant wait..
