I know its an old thread but im feeling pretty proud right now I've managed to be down 48 whole pounds since the sleeve on 5/15 !

Does anyone have any suggestions for good Popsicles?
I would prefer to avoid aspartame.

I think as long as HR accepts your reasoning you don't owe an explanation to anyone that you don't want to.
Just say you are having something corrected , thank them for their concern but you don't want to share anything past that , in whatever form you feel like is going to work in that conversation.

I am a little late but that is amazing sir.

You are reaching the point where you should have had a BM naturally I would suggest you ask the surgeon's office and ask about it Monday and drink as much Water as you can manage for now.

Mine tried to goad a reaction out of me by going on about "how weight loss should be pretty simple its just calories in and calories out " in a very snotty tone she was a gem, lol I just calmly explained how the rest of the procedure works and she gave me a pass. ( thankfully since it was 300 dollars out of pocket)

Youve got this!

I have one week till surgery , I start liquid diet tomorrow this just got real I feel like someone just pulled the lever on a roller coaster!

All you need are measuring cups. 1/4 cup is 2 oz and 1/2 cup is 4 oz. Much later, when you’re able to eat that much, 1 cup is 8 oz. All of this is volume, you need to also make sure your food weighs less than 4 oz.

Totally off topic but I wanted to take a moment to congratulate you on being so close to goal weight.

( ouch!)
Does your insurance have a max out of pocket for the year? Look at it this way you are most likely meeting that max and can get other things addressed health-wise plus you have a security blanket if you end up dehydrated or other wise not feeling well for the rest of the year.

I am nervous too! (surgery in two weeks now) so I feel you there but allwet is correct . You are taking control and taking steps to live a healthy life in the future I am currently a bundle of nerves trying to remember that right now as well.

I just found out about my insurances approval.... I had been so inpatient about it and now I have cold feet... Throughout this process I kept it to myself because I didn’t want to have any seeds of doubt planted in my head. I even avoided the bad experiences people had on the hundreds of videos I watched on YouTube. When I finally decided to tell my family it was like oh yeah that’s nice.... now that it’s really happening everyone is against it. Even making me feel guilty about having the surgery because I have kids. As much as I tried to avoid it now I’m doubting myself and this process. Afraid that I will be that percentage of people that may have major complications... At this point I just need some support!

5/15 here as well as it gets closer I feel more nervous daily.

Thank you for the pep talk I am almost feeling like i need another two weeks as the reality sets it ...its such a big surgery.
