    It will! It went really fast, the classes seemed to fly by! The only part that is going slow is now... Waiting for my day to come LOL.

    Listen to your body. If your tired - rest. Only do what you have to do, the rest can wait until your bodies ready.

    KNJScorpio got a reaction from ZinNH in Surgery yesterday and sipping liquids hurts. Normal?   
    Burping, hiccups, cough... It all still hurts me (4 days out) but getting better. I found that if I take too big of a sip I can feel the liquid going all the way down and that's uncomfortable. But with my experience, I am going through the same thing you are.

    KNJScorpio got a reaction from zallykatz16 in No Pre-Op Diet   
    I had to do a 1400 calorie diet but didn't really have restrictions. I didn't have to cut out carbs or do liquids. I have my surgery next Tuesday and the two days before I have to do liquids Sunday and Monday, but that's it. I like it, I am using the time to make sure I remember Portion Control and curve cravings as much as possible but don't beat myself up if I slip.

    I do 3 - 4 days a week. I mix it up: Two mile walk with the dogs, Zumba, and swimming are my favorites. Anywhere between 45 and 60 minutes each time.

    I have Kaiser. After my referral I went to their Bariatric Options orientation then signed up for the Options 12 week course. The course was 12 weeks of learning how to eat well, emotional health, exercise, vitamins... Things like that. Then after the 12 week course I saw their bariatric doctor who referred me to a surgeon. I did a lot of blood work and tests in that time, the surgeon required three more tests and once it was done he approved me for surgery. I am scheduled for August 29th which is just over six months from when I started.

    I probably would have had the surgery earlier but my doctor is on vacation from Aug 3 - 27th. So I will get it right after he comes back!
