I WAS APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!!!! Surgery 8/19/19 4 days away!!! OMG!!!!!

I’m so curious... going in hopefully 8/19/19 unless I’m rescheduled AGAIN!! How Does the pain compare to child birth???

Exactly what I’m aiming for!!!! Love that!!!

I soooo identify!!!!! Was supposed to have RNY 8/12/19 & it’s been pushed off til this Monday 8/19/19. I was relieved because I felt just like you. Like I’m forgetting important things. This extra week has helped me pull my s#%^ together & now I feel ready. They better not postpone me again ?!! Best of luck to you!!!! I’m sure you’ll do great. I’ll follow you!!!!!! ❤️

Soooo excited! I’m just praying they don’t postpone me again because of insurance. I was supposed to have it on 8/12/19. Keeping my fingers crossed ?

Ty soo much for explaining that. I’m trying to bend my mind around the changes from the WW way of living / cooking to the new way after WLS. You said it very clearly

Yummo!!!! That sounds great! Love crab ? & every shellfish

Is the pain up there with childbirth kind of severe pain or less? Oh Lordy...it’s a little scary

Does the hospital usually have one available if you ask or do you need to purchase one?

Oh Pa-lease!! Your legs look amazing & so does the view!!!

Stunning!! I pray I look like that when all is said & done

I love salad too!!! And I love tuna in my salad. I usually just open a can & mix it in with everything else. Believe it or not.... I love just fresh lemon juice & pepper as my dressing. Favorite lettuce... arugula . Also love butter lettuce to make lettuce wrap sammies

Oh my!!!! That looks like the perfect meal to me. Clean, healthy & delicious!!! I so look forward to making these types of delicious meals when I’m at that stage

I haven’t even had surgery yet... scheduled 8/19/19 but.... I have been on WW for years. So glad to hear many of you once further along in your journey use/modify skinny taste. One of my family’s all time fav from her site is : https://www.skinnytaste.com/turkey-taco-spaghetti-squash-boats/ I serve this to everyone whether or not they’re on a food plan & everyone loves it.

I would love that as well. I cook pretty much every night. When I was on WW I made some amazingly healthy & delicious meals. I used skinnytaste, Emily bites and a few others.

So sorry you’re going through this. I have no answers but I’ll keep you in my prayers. Is there a social worker or a patient advocate at either hospital that you can speak with? ?

Amazing!! Work it girl.... you’ve earned it!!!!!!

Looking good!!! ?

Fantastic!! Love seeing your long term progress

Good advice!!

58 (will turn 59 in 2 weeks) having RNY 8/19/19

Sillykitty ty so much for the heads up!!!! I’ll be checking your suggestions!

What a Great team you two make! Congrats & continued success!!!!! Woot!!

Just thinking of all the times I felt embarrassed & ashamed of my weight. All the times my weight held me back from jumping into life with both feet. All the pics that I saw of myself & I was mortified when I thought those were my best outfits & thought I looked good. Boating.... when my ex would ask me why I was hiding out below in the cabin. Taking pics with my beautiful grandchildren & hiding out behind everyone so all you’d see is my face. Not going to HS reunions because no one would recognize me. I thought I was a little overweight in HS but ha!!! I looked great. People that I grew up with have a bar that they all get together at . I won’t go. I see all the pics on FB & would love to see some of my childhood best friends. Can’t go skiing. Can’t play tennis. Can’t ride horses. I’m going to keep a list & refer to it every time I feel like giving up. I’ll remember all the pain that being overweight has caused me physically, mentally & emotionally. Every time I want to eat something bad I’ll remember the prison I’ve lived in for the last few years!!!

They are wonderful! Healthy , quality food with reasonable prices. I knew what to get for WW there but don’t know about WLS food
