I am approved by my insurance. I was just there Friday for my 3 hour appt with the nutritionist and a bunch of doctors. My psych evaluation is June 4th. I’m in my 5th month so it’s a little a frustrating that it takes so long. I’m approved. Then a month between psych eval. Then another month til meeting the surgeon to give me a date a month later. I’m like ugh. It’s so much waiting [emoji20] it’s also a little annoying when someone says “your not fat enough” i weight 215. But i am only 5 feet tall. So I’m 100 pounds over weight. I know I’m over weight when i debate leaving my house because i don’t want to see anyone i know. I know my body best and i know I’m so unhappy.

I was like that about my coffee! Lol.

I’m only 10 days post op but I really don’t miss drinking coffee. Slowly gave it up during my pre op diet because I HAD to. Since then, I don’t even crave it. I’m allowed to drink Decaf but I don’t see the sense in it [emoji23]

I never thought I’d be that person. Giving up coffee was my BIGGEST fear. I would drink at least 3 cups a day! But here I am, post op and doing just fine with out it!

NO SURGERY YET. I have been a coke drinker my whole life! So it’s hard, but i can do diet. It’s not a problem ( i don’t like Diet Coke but i can do Diet Pepsi! Haha) it’s going to be the most hard for me to not be able to drink it after surgery because of the carbonation how long after surgery was anyone able to drink carbonation? When my mom had gastric bypass she couldn’t drink Diet Pepsi for 3 years. I will dieeeee

Get it girl!

Tomorrow morning is my psychological evaluation! It’s supposed to be a couple hours long your in there so i was just wondering if anyone could give me some info as to what they do in there

Hello! I just wanted to pop in with a few updates. My husband is doing very well! They had him up and walking today, and he managed to do a full lap around the floor (a total of about 150ft) 3 times, which is apparently a big deal. In addition, they were able to take all drainage tubes out so he is feeling MUCH better. There is a possibility he may even get to come home on Friday! He is already getting up from the bed/chair with minimal assistance, and using the rest room on his own. It truly is a wonder how far we have come in medical field.
My mom has decided to basically move in next week and the week after to help. I have to work next week to train my coverage for my own surgery, which at this point I am proceeding with. If he struggles this weekend, I will definitely push it out.
Now for the not so great news... living off hospital food has caused me to gain 4lbs. They had very little gluten free options (unless I wanted wilted salad) and so in addition to the weight gain I have stomach pain too. Joy. Thankfully I have at most 2 days left, then I am putting myself on a liquid diet next week in hopes of losing those 4lbs I just put on [emoji20]
Once again, I wish to thank you all for your kindness and support. It has been an immense help to me by keeping me distracted during this chaotic time.
Kind regards,
Kay

You look great girl! Smile, your beautiful [emoji6][emoji7]

It went well, it was short and sweet. She asked me about the support I have around me, what habits I plan on changing to be successful and things like that. It felt like it was more for her benefit than mine, but I suppose that is what an evaluation is. I'm more excited for my dietitian appointment as I think that will be very informative.

Hey! I was just wondering how the psych evaluation goes? I have mine on 5/4. I don’t know what I’m going into and i kinda want to prepare myself!

My psych eval is this morning - in about 2.5 hours. I'm not really nervous, I just don't like going into something when I don't know what to expect. lol

First post! One of my qualifications was to have a group therapy!! Hopefully I’ll have some back up here!! I don’t have a surgery date yet but my psych test is may 4th! If all goes well I’m going cinco de mayo drinking the 5th[emoji23]
