I'll be six months out on the 29th of this Month and I'm down 77lbs.

Just tried Nectar Lemon Tea I have to admit I love Tea so this one for me was a hit so far.

I will have to say I tried so many Protein shakes before pre op and nectar Protein became my favorite of all of them.

Thanks bigloser2014 it always makes me feel better when you know you’re not the only one struggling with the emotional embarrassment. I just sometimes feel like it takes so much out of me. An your right I can't wait for the day that doing the smallest thing doesn't make me feel so drained and tired. rianjohnson82 my surgery date is right there with you im schedule for Sept 29 nervous as I can be. Thanks you guys for the wonderful words of encouragement.

Where to begin I started gaining weight about 7 years ago to date, right before I had my son. Seven years later here I am today on my way to weight loss Surgery. A piece of me feels ashamed I let myself go like this, but all I can do now is pick up the pieces and strive for a better life. Ever since I can remember I had a yoyo weight up and down on the scales. Throughout my teen years I was a vegetarian who never ate meat, or junk. I was the girl you would find riding a bike for miles to lose weight or walking for miles afraid of gaining weight. Now today I’m just the lost FAT GIRL trying to find herself. I decided on weight loss surgery because over the last couple of years the struggle has gotten harder and harder High Blood Pressure, Swollen ankles and legs constantly, and PCOS I’m a mere 32 and something tells me if I want to see 33 or any other age it’s time to make a drastic change not only for me but for my son. So as I began my journey to the other side please, please leave words of encouragement.

I can so relate my insurance company actually took a short period of time to come back with approval but the doctor himself has been on vacation so Tuesday I go in for my final appointment for my workup. The process has taken so long that at times I almost feel me getting so nervous I think about backing out. I know you said the Insurance Company is taking a really long time in making a decision. I don't know how yours works but the office was supposed to contact me as soon as they found out which they didn't that I had been approved. I actually contacted the insurance company they told me that I had been approved and then I contacted the office once again and they got my next appointment rolling. Soon enough the process for us will behind and we too will be post-op instead of pre-op hang in there we're almost there. BEST OF WISHES.

Good LUCK!!!! Happy that your journey is starting for you. I have my workup appointment to attend Tuesday and hope to be getting my date then. BEST OF LUCK
