I hear you! Hang in there!!!!

I am really sorry to hear about your job. Ive been laid off twice and it's aweful. Hang in there. I have found it in a strange way brings better things!!

What do you mean they are making you? Are they forcing you back even if you are not medically released? I'm in HR and you may have some recourse. Have you been there more than a year?

Wow. That's for the motivation and good luck getting to goal!!!

Awesome!! It's a great feeling. Keep up the goo work

Prayers. Hang in there and let us know!!

Well I am on 1400 calorie per day balanced diet for 3-6 months ( not sure till I meet with the surgeon). Also I have to write everything down and I can not gain one pound. Is so hard right now I'm traveling a lot for work. But I'm doing better then what I was so its a start. I'm trying to keep high protein. Then I will have the liquid diet before surgery. Welcome and good luck to you.

Welcome an good luck! I see the surgeon on the 4th. I was told my insurance needs three months but the surgeon may require more. We shall see. :-). This is a great place for info and support!!!

Prayers. The pain meds and food/ water are a hard combo. Hang in there!!

Good luck Today!!!

Hang in there!!! It will come

Great thanks!! It's weird how different it all is.

I count boxes of butter in the store. It's pure fat. Pretty motivating when you see it. Congrats!!!!

Good for all of you. It's hard work and you are suppose to love yourself. We have all Loathed ourselves for so long we can be a little concededs. congrats!

I want the dumping syndrome as well. I want sweets to make me sick like bacon does now lol I gave up almost all pork I'm also hoping it helps with hunger. When I can control the hunger I can lose weight.

I am 40 and shrunk almost an inch. I'm so ticked. My BMI is now higher which is scarier. Ugh

Very happy for you!!

Wow. You go!! You look great. :-)

That's so great!! Good luck!!!!

Awesome!!!!

I do agree to be open and honest. However I'm not telling anyone. My hubby and BF is it. She knows because she has been through the surgery. My mom would freak out and others would tell people that I don't want to know. I am also new in my job so that's just to personal. I wish you the best of luck and if there are any doubters take them with you to an appointment. It helps reassure. :-).

I know a lot depends on the surgeon and pre-existing conditions but I am curious to hear what medical tests you have been required to take to get cleared for surgery? Thanks!!

Well that's UPMC for ya. Not making light but I'm at Magee as well with Dr McCloskey. They are notorious for confusion on the billing/ approval side but evidently you have WLS coverage or they won't have scheduled. They just need to review the documents. You should be just fine. Good luck to you!!! :-).

Good for you! After my session yesterday wih the nutritionist, he said you have to be accountable and writing it down is the best way. I started today and it has kept me from snacking. Good luck!

OH Hope you feel better! I am sure you will be fine. :-)
