I was sleeved on 8/24 and I am down 63 pounds! I am 17 pounds away from being below 100 and it seems like the hardest 17 haha. But I can deff eat more but I'm always thinking about what to eat and not eating just anything. Surgery was the best decision I have ever made!!!

Honestly I think it depends on your insurance. Once I was done with the pre stuff and it was summitted I was approved within a week, but I have ghi and they said they are really fast. Hope that helps and good luck! I am about 8 weeks out and down 40 pounds

I'm starting to freak out. My surgeons having me eat pureed foods 2 days after surgery. They brought me tuna the day after my surgery? I had 1 scrambled egg for breakfast and I'm having cottage cheese for lunch. I'm just so scared bc I'm reading about everyone doing only liquids and I don't want my surgeon to be wrong? Will this stretch my stomach out? Anyone else eat soft foods this early?

Trying to plan things for when I come home on Tuesday. What soft foods are some good choices?

I am on my 4th day of the 2 week liquid diet and I am suffering. I am cranky, soo hungry, and have a lot of headaches (I just want to chew!!!) My sister was eating a gyro yesterday and I cried seeing her do it (I'm not crazy I swear haha) does it get better after surgery? Because right now I'm doubting my will power and if I can do this.

I'm in wantagh and its dr. Holover doing it

So this Monday I will be beginning my 2 week liquid diet and I'm starting to get really nervous. I don't know how I'm gonna handle not eating that long. Also I am an x-Ray tech and only have a week off from it. How did everyone feel 1 week post-op? I could also really use a buddy to talk about the journey with who actually understands what it's like!

August 24th surgery date ???? excited and really nervous
