My insurance submitted on a tuesday or wednesday... I had approval by Friday.. I would call and inquire after your paperwork is submitted.. Just say that you are verifying that they received your forms and want to know if there is anything else they need... I called back the next day, found out I was approved, called my surgeon and scheduled pre-op testing... Best wishes for a quick and positive response...

Congrats!!! I feel the same way when my students comment about how I'm getting smaller.. Granted, it's not happening very quickly, but it's happening.. and I'm grateful for that!!!

Awesome!!! This really encouraged me to step out into what I REALLY want to do!!! I'm praying and believing for favor and divine promotion for you!!!

Congrats!!! Very awesome!!!... I can hardly wait to run!!!

Girl, I almost jumped through my MAC when I saw the softball comment~!!! I'm glad you're doing well.. TAKE IT EASY!!!... I know where you live.. well, I at least know what state you live in!!! LOL

I look my hands a lot!! I had to stop buying the cute bracelets from Catherine's Plus Size.... they are too big!!! I just wish my other tummy would leave!!! I had 3... now it's 2!!!!

Awesome!!! Congrats!!! Blessings and good thoughts!!!

I use a RTD shake.. Premier Protein.. I have a shellfish allergy as well and I haven't had any problems...

WOW... I'm in awe of your courage, strength and I pray that you are showered with peace and blessings...

So, I'm trying to incorporate more veggies other than broccoli.. I fried 6 slices of bacon until crisp... discarded the oil, but left the brown bits of goodness... Sliced a sweet onion into thin strips, and sauteed until they carmelized in some EVOO (about a tbsp).... added 3 medium yellow squash (sliced) and 2 tbsp of McCormick's Perfect Pinch Veggie... simmered for 20 minutes.. Added crushed bacon on top.. It was delicious!!! I'm going to prepare it w/ mushrooms and diced chicken next time!!

I love pure protein's chocolate drinks... I'm not so sure about protein jello!! LOL.. I'm going to try it though.. Thanks for sharing...

It will definitely get better!!! Trust me!! I was an acne faced, crying and angry mess!!!

Yep.. will definitely pray...

You guys are doing GREAT!!!! Keep up the good work!! I'm hopeing to be out of the 300s in the next 7 weeks!! Pray my strength!! LOL... I haven't been to the gym in a week (spring vacation).. so hopefully I can get lose 3-4 lbs a week!!!

Stacey it's actually not strange... This is a link to an older post about full signals.. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/29159-whats-your-emptyfull-signal/page__fromsearch__1

Why do you automatically assume this post will be flamed??? I agree w/ you... I'm just interested in why you added "let the flaming begin".... I believe each of us has our own journey and we have to decide what's best for us (taking into consideration the opinions and information given by the professionals we trusted to cut on us)....

I'm in... SW: 325 GW: 299 .... I know that's almost 4 pounds a week.... I'm still pretty early out (3 months, 3 weeks today!!) I'm going to try!!!! Thanks for the motivation!!

I don't go more than 3 hours without eating something... I'm rarely hungry.. when I'm really hungry or feeling empty....it's usually because I'm not drinking enough water...

I wish I was told how mentally and emotionally taxing, trying and engaging this whole process is!!!

I think negative people have issues with themselves.. When they say things to others, they are actually looking in the mirror in their heads... Life is worth too much to spend lose one moment dwelling on negative comments.....

YEAH!!! I'm so excited for you!!! I'm saving a seat for you on the Loser's Bench!!!

YEAH!!!! I'm excited for you!!!!
