Congratulations!!!! I can't wait to get there. I am stuck at 207 right now.

My 1st goal is to be down to my wedding day weight by my 12th wedding anniversary which is September 29th. I am pretty sure I am gonna make it. I am at 207 now. I was 199 when I got married. I was 269 on day of surgery which was 5/16/2013. High weight was 279.

210 hear also. So close to Onederland!!! It is so close yet feels so far away. I haven't been under 200 for at least 12 years. So excited!!

Peanut butter bothers me too as well as chicken. I liked both before surgery though. It is weird how things change as far as food goes. I don't care for sweets anymore either.

Woohoo!!!! congratulations!!! I am right behind you. My surgery was 5/16/13 and I am 9 lbs away!!!

YES you WILL feel full. I swear I never felt full before my bypass surgery. But now I ALWAYS feel full after eating something solid.

I am having issues with my period also. It is on and off almost daily but I did just have a "regular" period. It was definitely flowing. Every time I moved it seemed to gush. I went to the doctor and she said it is more than likely from stress on my body since my surgery. I guess I will live with it for now as long as I am losing weight!

I think I am going to do 2 shakes first thing today just to make sure I get a majority of my protein. My problem this weekend was that I was so busy cleaning and getting ready for my 5 and 6 year olds birthday party. I swear I was on the go nonstop for 2 days straight. The good news is that I am 4 weeks post op and down 30 pounds!!!!!

I had a really bad day today as far as eating and getting all my protein in. I didn't feel like eating and I wasn't even hungry.

I hope so. I know there is no turning back and I have a wonderful doctor. Just frustrated right now. How far out are you?

I hate to say it but I think I am regretting my decision on having this procedure done! I was never felt sick after eating before I had this done. I am about 3 1/2 weeks out, it feels like it has been months. My surgery and recovery were uneventful so not sure what is up. I have 3 small children and I am always on the go with them I guess I just need to take a few extra minutes and prepare my meals or plan my meals out for the day.

So it really will happen? My surgery is Thursday, May 16th. I am currently at 265, I can hardly wait to be 155. I don't think I have weighed that since birth!! Lol

I am doing the same thing this weekend. My surgery is this Thursday. I think I am more nervous about not being home for my kids than I am for my surgery.

Got my approval today. FINALLY. Now onto the next step.

So how many days was it total for you from the time it was sent until approval? Just curious because I think mime was sent on 3/11 and I talked to UHC today and they said that they had it.

I am keeping myself busy too. I had a call from my doctors office on Monday and they told me that it had been submitted, not sure exactly what day but I am going with Monday. Trying not to think about it, except when I check this. I started to redo my sons bedroom to keep myself extra busy.

I called the surgeons office today and it turns out that they were waiting for my thyroid blood work. I took care of that 2 weeks ago. Got it all straightened out though today and she said she will submit to Insurance today. She said it will be 7-10 days to get approval. One of my docs said that UHC is easy to work with and that it usually takes a week. I guess I have waited 6 months another week to 10 days won't kill me. Just very anxious.

I am waiting approval from insurance. I have United Healthcare. Anyone have Amy idea as to how long the process takes?
