Trust the process, it gets so much easier! Just take it one day at a time, I’m 10 days post op and everyday has been easier than the last. In regards to the Protein I’m still struggling as well but I try to drink a little more than the day before and I’m almost up to the 60 gs I’m supposed to get daily.

I'm in the same boat -- for 3 weeks now. I saw some downward movement and thought the stall was over, but it was only temporary. Today I weighed one pound less than 3 weeks ago, and I am oscillating between about 194 and 198, with daily weight variations up to 2#. I weigh my food/measure my food and track every bite, so 2# swings are clearly just Water.
I think we just need to stick with the program and count on it to work. And, have realistic expectations about what we will reasonably lose every week. But man, this month's looking like a hot mess! Right now, I've lost 1#!!!!!

Surgery day is finally here! I’ll be having surgery tomorrow along with my best friend, can’t wait to start this new chapter in our lives!!!

SO happy for you!!! I hope it goes smooth and you will soon be a new you!!

That's so awesome that you are doing it with your best friend! I had mine Monday ! Congrats

Kaiser on a government plan I’m going to pay $50 a day I spend in the hospital and that’s it!

I’m April 25th too!

Hey surgery twin. Mine is April 25 at 8:00 am. I'm taking loose clothing, slippers, toiletries and Bioten. Everyone says you have dry mouth afterwards. I'm one week into my pre op liquids and so far, I haven't been hungry. Its all mental...we can do this!

Congratulations! I am on 5/23 so about a month after you. Some of the things people have told me to bring are comfy slide on shoes to walk, comfy loose clothes, and tooth brush & paste. Everyone says walk as much and as soon as you can cause it helps the gas pain from the gas they use to expand your tummy. Good luck to you, can't wait to hear your successful surgery experience :-)

My surgery is April 2nd.

Mine is April 25th! Can’t wait!

Omggg so excited for you! Hopefully we get to be surgery buddies!!

I was approved by insurance today!

I hope to get a date soon. I’m not sure if my surgeons’s office gives me a date at the same time paperwork is submitted or if I have to wait until approval to get a date ... I think I will call them tomorrow! So exciting to KNOW that you will get your surgery two weeks from tomorrow - I am jealous!

I’ve been waiting for 2 weeks now and I AM DYING!!!! Should have an answer by friday as well! My anxiety is on 1000 since my surgery is 2 weeks from tomorrow. Any prayers or crossed fingers are greatly appreciated!! Good luck to you!!!!

So exciting!!! I can’t wait to get my date locked in! I hope that you have a date soon too! We’ve got this!

Congrats! My final appointment was today and they are preparing everything to end off to insurance tomorrow! I have bcbs and I heard some people hear in 24 hours and some hear in a week or two. My BMI is just over 40 so hopefully it goes quick
Once approved, they schedule approx. 2 weeks out

Hi everyone, so I just got off the phone with the insurance representative at my doctors office and today was my last weight in, she is getting my paperwork to submit the approval request for my sleeve surgery as we speak!! She states I should know by Friday!!! I’m so nervous. This week is definitely going to feel sooooo long.

If you’d like, we started a YouTube page to follow our progress. Subscribe if you’d like.

Good luck! My final weigh in will be on May 2. I have been told by my surgeon’s office that it should be approved with no issues .... but I will still hold my breath (a little) until I get my surgery date! Do you know if many get denied in general? My BMI is 41and I am under the impression that my insurance approves anyone with BMI 40and above with 6 non-consecutive monthly weigh ins.

I'll be empathizing with you. Don't stay on pins and needles, hopefully the point will realized and let us know when you do, we want to Celebrate with you!![emoji173]
