  3. So I haven't been on here in awhile but I am happy to give you all an update. Since surgery I am down 35 lbs. I feel so good and full of energy. I go to the gym Monday-Friday for about an hour and a half sometimes 2 hours if I feel good. The elliptical is my best friend...Lol.. overall I feel good and love working out and seeing changes in my clothing size. I started back to work last week and it's been good. I was a little tired in the beginning but I've picked up my momentum. Overall doing well and I love my sleeve :)

      @scrapbasket thanks a lot for your info. I didn't plan in taking a lot just was curious in what I should bring..lol

    3. Lady Rock

      Lady Rock

      congrats on your surgery date chica, I am so excited for you. I was only there 1 day, I really didn't need much. I agree with scrapbasket, you will definitely need some lip balm. The clothes I wore to the hospital are the clothes I wore home, loose fitting of course and a clean air of undies. You literally will not need much. Good luck to you and again congrats.

    4. beautysleeve559

      beautysleeve559

      Thanks so much @ladyrock I plan in just taking a maxi dress..they are so comfortable and loose fitting :) and I've been hearing a lot about chapstick..do your lips get very dry or something?

  16. omg...still fighting this cold....I really want to be better before I go for surgery...

  17. so almost 2 weeks before surgery I get a freakin cold. Ugh..runny nose..sore throat..and a ear ache..and all I can take is Tylenol..ugh shoot me now

      I was wondering can I take Nyquil? I know that they say so NSAIDS. ..BUT.. I don't think that falls in that category

  18. And this girl is APPROVED!!!!.Yay I am so happy and relieved that I finally got a date. September 15th is around the corner.. :)

  19. Since I am currently awaiting for my insurance approval I think I should start buying some protein supplements and shakes. What would you guys recommend? Looking for something high in protein and low in calories and sugar. Preferably sugar free. Any ideas??

      Thank you guys for all the suggestions. I believe I'm gonna go with the Syntrax Nectar. Per one scoop it has 24 grams of protein and I've tried this one before but it was a while ago

      From what I've read, a lot of people like the taste of the Syntrax Nectars.

  20. After calling none stop and bugging my surgeons office they have finally received my psych assessment and called this morning to tell me that my paperwork is being sent to the insurance. FINALLY!!! and they say it will take about 5-7 days for a fax back. I'm excited that part is done. Hopefully everything goes smoother now :)

      Best of luck to you!

  21. Well I went to meet with my dietitian today and it went pretty good. I am now officially done with all my requirements. On a bad note I was told by my surgeons office that they hadn't received my assessment from the psychological evaluation. Mind you that was done on 7/24/2014. So I had to call and wait for them to find my paperwork and say it had gotten misplaced but they will fax it over today. I sure hope they do so my surgeons office can fax over my paperwork to the insurance tomorrow (fingers crossed) I'm just starting to get impatient and just want my surgery date already..lol
