Springfield mo

I'm don't have a date yet, but I'm terrified. Never had any surgeries, only been in hospital once last yr.

what you don't like all the attention?

I'm in Mo to, I've meet with my PCP 4 times and th Nut and surgeon once, did my psych evaluation. still a lot of other stuff to do. I'm on here daily excited and nervous both.

yes it been very interesting.

does anyone suggest things like a blender, food processor and/or scale?

I'm 39 never have but planning too.. Have pretty clothes and looked hot. Go somewhere that requires lots of walking Been in love. skydiving get a tattoo

have you tried crunching on ice.

I know what you mean, I'm pre-op and the Dr wants me to lose weight before I can have surgery and between commercials and food days at work, I want to scream.

Once I start the pre-op diet I will be able to have the protien shakes, but also fat-free broth does anyone have any sugestions as I have not ate just broth.

I can't say that I am looking forward to a 3 week pre op diet but I am more nervous about the surgery, I never had any type of surgery and have been in the hospital only once and that was last yr for the first time. It's takes everything I have not to chicken out, but I want to have a life instead of just existing and to be comfortable in my own skin for a change.

Having munchies today, trying to drink lots of water and not eat unless hungury to learn better habits before surgery.

I want a scale but my weight fluctuates because of water retention, I don't stress about it.

I don't own a scale, The only place I weigh is at the doctor's office.

my first doctor wanted me to lose at minimum of 70 before he would consider doing the surgery, but I decided to switch to a closer doctor because I did not like that I live in Springfield mo and he was is St Louis mo, plus I just wasn't comfortable with him for lack of a better word. he was rather cold.

definitely

you will lose weight, your body is still healing and recovering. give it time and follow your doctors instructions and you'll lose.

when was your surgery?

from what my doctor said part is where you are carrying your weight, if the surgery can be done safely and also to see if we can handle the change.

My doctor wants me lose weight also, so far I have lost 31 pounds, but he did not give me certain amount to lose, going by my stomach thickness and wants me to cut out carbs. You can do it.

I am needing to pay for part of my surgery and I found this website on grants on here that I'm gonna try, I don't know much about it but I thought it be worth a try. http://www.wlsfa.org/looking-for-help/how-to-apply-for-a-grant/

My biggest NVS will be never having to have that difficult talk with your manager because you have sweated or got an infection in your folds and someone complained about hygiene.

what is NSV stand for? I know it's the stuff you can do now that your smaller.

I agree, I can't wait, I don't have date yet, had appt yesterday with my doctor and I have lost 31 pounds since June 18th.
