I'm waiting on ins approval. Sunmitted yesterday

It was a piece of cake

Not moving fast enough for me...lol. Not nervous or scared or anything. Im ready!!!

Come on November

Endoscopy done! That was some good sleep! Passed psych eval.. check! I think that's it. Ready for insurance approval and surgery date. Lets go!!!

39lbs in 6 weeks???? I pray Im as lucky. That's awesome

Omg. I hope I get approved for insure nutrition. Im still very early in this process but I've switch from EAS shakes to Premier Protein. I have one more appt to complete my 3 month weight loss trial and my initial appt with surgeon is aug 1st. I actually did it backward. Weight loss trial before surgeon appt. Im so excited and ready to be on the losers bench. Thanks for this info.

Thanks Angel,
I've got to use this time to get my head in the game. Im struggling to focus. Gonna get in an exercise class to see if it helps me focus.

I need encouragement!!!! Nurse just said my surgery won't be until probably November. Surgeon is already booked thru October. Im sad.
Now I need to start eating right and start exercising! I can at least try to start losing weight while I wait! Right????

I pray this doesn't offend anyone because its not my intention. We went to dinner after church and I watched an oversized woman (much bigger than me) wolf down her food. As I watched I remembered everything that Im learning in nutrition class....slow down and eat slower....enjoy the taste of your food, etc. She was literally swallowing her food without chewing and I thought to myself...is that me? Do people watch me eat like that? Do I eat fast? Do I swallow my food without chewing? All of it became so real to me for the first time I think. I couldn't even eat my own food. She looked totally out of control. I felt like I could be watching myself.
From that moment on I've vowed to be totally in control of what I put in my mouth. As Im preparing for RNY, Im going to start adopting better habits and teaching myself all the important things that I know I still have to master for the successful use of my tool. I pray everyday that I can make the necessary changes in habit for a successful change to a healthy lifestyle.
My reality has been checked!!!!

I met this girl on a weight loss forum from California. We did HCG together and became good friends but never met.... its been almost 3 yrs now. Well she died this morning. Blood clot in both lungs. I talked to her last night and she didn't feel well. Never imagined I would wake up to RIP postings on Facebook this morning. We were always trying to lose weight together. Needless to say I got the motivation I needed. I've gotta do it now for my friend Renee!
I said this to say...we meet people on forums all the time and become close. Let's not take our relationships and bonds on this forum lightly or for granted. We are all in this struggle together. Wanted to say... your comments and support are greatly appreciated. I love each and every one of you as we continue on our journey toward our goal of a healthier lifestyle!

Nurse called today. She is working on my chart. She had everything she needs to submit to the insurance company except my last nutrition appt. After the appt on Sept 13. She will submit to insurance and she says with my insurance they usual approve it within one day. That made me feel better! Upward and onward....or is that downward?

It is so frustrating. Maybe because we are just anxious...like being behind a slow car on the interstate when you're in a hurry. Im doing my best to breath deeply....and try to start dieting seriously while doing some sort of exercise. Maybe this will keep me calm! Lol

Im sooooo happy for you. I hope my time passes quickly. Nov seems like forever away#

Congratulations!!!
