Oh and wearing something besides 2X graphic tees every day. That's all I feel comfortable in now. And wearing a well fitting bra to make the ladies look better. Lol.

Being able to get out of the tub without feeling like I'm going to fall and break bones each time. And being in the tub without my stomach sticking out of the water.

Thanks everyone that gives me a good idea ?

In what intervals and how many post-op appointments do most people have? It's the one thing I don't know about my surgeon. Just wondering. Thanks!

Thanks Frustr8. I'm sorry your doctor seems to want you to have the disease... that's weird. I'm just hoping everything goes fine with getting insurance approval. I was 41.3 BMI but I've lost 8 lbs and now I'm 39.8, I don't know what the requirements of having Diabetes is. Do you have to have been diagnosed for a certain amount of time?

Hey ya'll. I just got numbers back from labs and they're not good. My Blood Glucose is 158 and my A1C is 8.5. So according to Mayo Clinic, I need two blood tests to confirm. But they're starting me on Metformin. I'm kinda stressing it. My Liver enzymes aren't good either but I already knew I had a Fatty Liver. I'm trying to look at the bright side, now my insurance will probably definitely approve my surgery, right? I have one more physician-assisted diet appointment and then everything is done. Any good thoughts?

My husband just surprised me and ordered the Starter pack from Unjury so I can try all of their protein powders. It's scary how excited I am! But I'm ready to see what will work for me on my liquid diet, and for protein after! I feel like this is a step that will get me to my next appointment. Anyone else have a similar experience?

I'm waiting too. I have one more physician-supervised diet visit then they should be able to submit to insurance. It's June 17th... it seems like forever from now. I'm just staring at my calendar. We'll make it :-)
