Thats Awesome!!! Love to hear everyones progress as im still preop until my surgery date of 3/31, hearing these stories keeps me motivated. Also just wanted to say Queen love your new profile pic you can really see the change in your face...keep smiling

Congrats!!!

I think its normal to have moments where one wonders if this is the best thing for them, but onlybyou know that answer. The surgery is only a tool, the successful results of the surgery are all dependent on your choices. You can do it

Nice job, keep it up!

What amazing results!!! Keep it up

You look Awesome!!!!

Good luck Kristen, prayers for a speedy recovery!!!

Good luck tomorrow. Nerves are to be expected, but just think of the end results. Im going in on 3/31, cant wait [emoji4]

Good Luck

There is also the chocolate peanut butter one that tastes great.

Make your own protein shakes, or go grab some Premier shakes at walmart or cotsco

Any response from insurance yet???

Were getting surgery the smae day, where are you located?

Congrats and prayers for a apeedy recovery!!!

Wow, I cant imagine having to wait years. When I found out I had a 6 month program for insurance, I was ready to go to Mexico, but hubby was not on board. Now Im getting sleeved on 3/31 and cant believe its right around the corner.

Can you try your insurance company and see if its been submitted yet. Maybe he's waiting on approval to come in from the imsurance company.

Have you got your approval back yet?

There are many of us on here that can relate to exactly what your saying. I havent worn a swimsuit in about 20 years. Havent worn shorts in about 15, the list goes on... You have made the decision to have surgery when the time is right for you. Enough of feeling like the one who is left out of the fun, next year that wont be you. Start making small changes now in your diet and routine and those changes will help you prepare for what you will soon go through.

Melissa, 5 years on a waiting list??? Where do you live? Congrats on having the courage to go through with it. I also quit smoking, while going through this process, but thankfully with healthy choices I gained a few pounds, but quickly lost it. Previously quotting smoking added about 20 or 30 pounds. You are having awesome results so far, keep up the great work. I'm getting sleeved on 3/31 and cant wait!!! [emoji4]

Congrats you should be in recovery now

28 pounds in about 2 months is Awesome!!! Considering this looks like your 1st stall. Many people talk about a stall in week 2 or 3 and you dont seem like you had one then. Follow the basics from your nut and surgeon and the pounds will come off.

Try applying at insurenutrition.com your insurance may approve you for Protein shakes. I now get 4 cases a month of premier Protein Shakes...enough for 2 shakes a day.

Its crazy how everyones doctors have different diets for them preop and postop. From day 3, i can have pudding, cottage cheese, ricotta, custard, all liquids, and broths, yogurts.
