Shelbyville, tn pre op as wel Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

Idk but who knows what any of them are thinking Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

And the uber shitty thing is, my boss has known for a month that I've been saving up all my pto, vac, sick and holiday hours so that I can get one full check while I'm off for a month so if she fires me I lose it.

Yeah most definitely, hr is on my list of stops but I have already called last week she told me to come in when I have a solid date, I'm going to try and get that nailed down this week since I'm 3 lbs from his goal Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

I have plenty of skills and credentials to go else where.i have my cna, rma, phlebotomy, & I can read heart monitors. My lpn is next I enjoy my job and the fact I get to work in so many departments. I'm having the surgery I refuse to let her stop me just sucks major that it had to come to this. Cause up to this point she has been a pretty great boss. I'm sure it has alot to do with us being majorly short staffed on both days and nights n my unit. But still it's not my fault we don't have the extra in our budget for me to train a different tech to do my job. I mean I have almost a whole month to do it.

Thankfully my insurance is through my husband's job so even if I lost mine it wouldn't effect the surgery process. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App I'm not protected under fmla, it requires you to be with the company for a yr first. I've only been here 7 months.

So around the july 25th?ish I made a point to talk to my boss and give her a heads up since I had just met with my surgeon. Being I work in a hospital on a very busy floor I have been wanting to give as much notice as possible so we can find a stand in for my shifts. Well my next appointment is set for sept 1st but the insurance company called this past Tuesday saying I had been approved, which was weeks faster then we had planned. Also the dr told me I had to lose 15 lbs, and so far I've dropped 12. So I will be calling my surgeon to get an appointment in the next few days to move this along quicker. So this is all moving much faster then I had planned. I tried to explain that to my boss and instead of looking at a 3rd week n sept date I looking at a last week of Aug date. Our schedule are put out for 28 days at a time which means I will still work all but 1 week of this next schedule. Anyway it didn't go over very well and she got about half way through the statement of "well I can't guarantee your job". I'm more then a little worried about losing said job but I have no protection under fmla since I've only been with my hospital 7 months. But it more then a little irritates mr becuase when i first told her about this she aaid she would do whatever we needed because this was important. At the same time I don't think I can put this off again, this is the second time I've had to do all this I'm ready to be on the other side of it. Ugh just really frustrated... I don't want to lose my job but I can't wait another month I've been on a modified liquid diet for 2 weeks already Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

Ok so I would recommend going online to amazon and ordering pee strips that help u pin point ur ovulation day, they can be amazing if you ovulate, I bought them and come to find out I'm too heavy and not ovulating. Any way then there is lube called pre seed. It's the best lube to use while trying as it doesn't hurt the sperm and helps them get there better. Also try using the app called glow I love it, it helps track everything and doubles as a community like this one. And they are so helpful. I will definitely go back to using it once we can try again n a few yrs. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

I got my insurance approval Tuesday. But I have to lose weight before the dr will give me a date. 10 more to go. Been on liquid only for the last two days, hoping this helps speed up the process. This is the second time I've been through all this, the first time my insurance coverage dropped and I had to stop. I'm ready to just steam roll through this and be done. Pre op class monday.

So I haven't had surgery yet but I do have pcos. It does sound like you may be getting to many carbs. Get you and app like fatsecret to track exactly what ur eating. If you want to lose more I suggest keeping ur carbs as close to 20g a day as possible. I agree 3-4 months isn't a long time to be trying, have you bought opks? Have you're cycles become and stayed regular? What kind of lube do you use? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

As of right now the surgeon just told me to lose 15lbs. So I started on a low carb diet where I try to keep my carbs between 20-30g a day. So no potatoes no corn no Pasta no bread no sweets no junk no soda of any kind rare fruit. I eat 5-6 small meals a day. Most of which are my Protein shakes. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

I can't see how they expect you to get all of ur daily nutrients by only eating 3 meals a day if you aren't even 2 months out. With the size of ur pouch I'd hate to push it. I'm not sleeved yet, soon tho. My mom has hers jan 28th and she still doesn't eat only 3 meals a day, more like 5. Also keep in mind if you started out at a lower bmi the weight usually comes off slower than those with a higher bmi. But Idk ur stats. Are you able to get in all ur Protein required a day? What's ur Water intake like? I would think as long as you are keeping ur carb intake low if any at all you should be fine to add in a snack or two. What does ur calories a day look like?

I try to keep my carb intake 20g or lower Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

Congrats! !!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

Congrats on the baby, but I'm sorry to hear about the complications. It sucks when Dr's won't listen. Hopefully once you get that cleared up and they see there weren't any complications to that, they will go ahead with ur tummy surgery. Good luck I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

When you do it make sure u twist the leaf so it let's out the flavor Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

I'm currently on a low carb diet like stated above so my intake is pretty high when it comes to Protein. Between 120-180 a day. So far the only down side has been extremely constipated. This is what one of my last couple days looked like numbers wise. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

There is always things like crystal light packets which I have when I can no longer stand the flavor of Water. Or you can do as lema suggests lemon, cucumber, berries, lime, mint leaves those are all really good for helping with water. Even better is to make a pitcher the day before and leave it in the fridge so it's nice and bold Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App
