Yay New You!! Check out Facebook gastric forums n interest for ideas. U got this!!

Saw on a gastric sleeve forum group post on Facebook that there is web site insurenutrition to see if insurance covers protein costs

Yay! Congrats

Thanx much for feedback. So looking forward for surgery. Taking over 15 pills a day is insane! Can't wait to b healthier n have ONE chin! I have list 22 lbs since being diagnosed n eating healthier. Congrats to all

Thanx much

Since being diagnosed w diabetes 2 I drink about 62-84 oz of water a day n about 2-4 cups of herbal tea. Will I have trouble drinking after surgery? I gave up coffee years ago n don't drink alcohol cuz gives me hot flashes. Also does everyone get cold cuz I have window open wear tea shirts all year round. Guess losing fluff n lowering blood pressure will change things. Maybe next winter?? Surgery target Feb. Oh so ready!!

Thanks much

Thanks much for feedback. Yay Us! Getting closer, hopefully around Valentine's!

How many weeks did u have to see nut before surgery. I know need to learn to eat healthier but honestly, want few more rolls before off limits forever!

I was surprised to learn that people who have had surgery suffer from back n hip pain due to rapid weight loss. I was stunned since this is one of my reasons for surgery. How long did it take body to adjust n pain subside? I have bad sciatica n herniated disks for over 29 yrs n cortisone injections just don't last as long n pain prevents me from walking far etc. Thanx for feedback

Thank you all, grateful for your input :-)

I haven't owned a scale in over 15 yrs. Any suggestions?

I have been wearing shapeless clothes for so many years n had to work for a week at office. All I wore was one pair of sneakers cuz didn't want to go out. My bff suggested men's shoes n got the MOST comfortable Sketchers w memory foam in men's. What a crock! Women's socks n shoes suck! Men have the BEST socks n most comfy shoes n can't even tell. Another injustice! Lol

I'm 5'6" 290 5x in Walmart shirts, too many chins n jowls, n fekkin kangaroo pouch! Yes I m doing it for health reasons but bending to tie my shoes wo cutting off air supply wud be amazing!

Lipstick Lady thank you so much for sharing your experience. I m French n while I understand little or no French bread, pasta n rice low-fat cheese n even worse to me is cottage cheese which I have always thot looks like baby puke! I have become a gastric forum junkie! I want to read everyone's experience, fears, triumphs. I knew duh I was fluffy but when I saw a photo from the side! Holy crap. Then I did bmi n found out I was morbidly obese. Hello...first part is morbid! I was freaked into thinking I was going to die if I don't do something soon. Been yo yo dieting for over 40 yrs n my family has all passed n want to be around for my 13 yr old. I will b damned if I die early if I cud have helped it n let his dad raise him. I went to back to school nite n was so wiped out from just doing my son's schedule. My fiance who has no cartilage in his knees even walked faster. Hopefully next year I will zip thru the halls!
