  1. Ugh so jealous. I wish I could have fruit. Hoping tomorrow is better than today.
  2. Also day 1 for me. It is rough. I'm struggling but totally rocking this diet. Only for my health
  3. Congrats Kiki. I'm right behind you with 2/27. So many emotions going on but overall very excited!
  4. 19 days and counting. So excited and scared and happy to make huge changes!
  5. Hey everyone. I'm scheduled for surgery 2/27. Super excited/ happy/ nervous. Anyone else on 2/27 or from PA/NJ? Also wondering what happens if I were to get sick before surgery? I am practically putting myself in a bubble because I don't want to get delayed.
  6. Thank you for the answer. I didn't know that I didn't know. On my count down now. 23 days til v day. 2/27. Yay!
  7. This might sound crazy, but what the heck is a bougie?
  8. Things I can't wait for: Fitting in airplane seats and seat belts No more lane Bryant Sexy panties and bra from Victoria secret No more chub rub Taking part in activities like zip lining and helicopter rides People to stop judged me by weight To walk up steps and not be out of breath To put my socks and shoes on without sitting down to reach To be able to cut and paint my own toe nails To not wear a bathing suit skirt. To fit in MY dining room chairs that have arms instead of avoiding them for the ones without I could go on forever and I actually have a list I keep with me and add to when I think of things. February 27 can not come soon enough!
  9. I'm scheduled for 2/27. I can not wait. I have never been thin and excited to see the changes and stop shopping in lane Bryant!! I start my preop diet on 2/13 for 2 full weeks. 4 Protein shakes a day, veggies and sugar free drinks and Jello. Go February sleeves!!!! Anyone from pa?

  11. Hi everyone. My name is Kristi. I live in the Philadelphia PA area. I just received my insurance approval call today!!!! I will be sleeved on 2/27 and i am super excited and a little scared. But i guess thats normal. I am 31 years old. No kids. Currently weigh 303 which is the highest I have ever been... I have a pretty active life for a fat girl. I scuba dive, ski, walk, zumba and weight train. I am hoping with surgery, diet, and exercise, i am not too flabby everywhere. Its great to hear from everyone and excited to share this journey!!
  12. I have bcbs of New Jersey and was just approved this morning with no issues. They seem to be pretty good. Just make sure you have everything together before it is submitted to avoid getting denied. Good luck. I'm now scheduled for feb 27!!!!
  13. Ahhh thank goodness. Thank you for the responses. That was not something I considered and something I enjoy and did not want to give up forever.
  14. Yes. Brooks makes great sneakers. They are kinda pricey but the have excellent support and are worth every penny.
  15. I had this in one foot. I had all the cortisone shots ad they would help for a bit. Also had physicAl therapy for it for a while. but then eventually came back. Eventually had surgery on the foot that had it. Best decision. But now have it bad in the other foot and would rather wait to have surgery and lose weight. I honestly believe it is brought on by weight. This helps for me. Freeze an ice bottle and roll your foot on that. Also do that with a tennis ball. Also, get a towel and wrap that around the bottom if your foot and pull the ends up toward you. AND stay off of it for a few days while doing the above.
  16. I will be sleeved in jan or February. Will I ever be able to drink wine again?
