I decided to try mostly liquid diet for this week to see how it feels and if i can do it. My doc gave me a 1200 - 1400 cal diet low carb high protein to follow, I started feeling like I was eating too much bulk. Hope I can do this !~!

are you excited? nervous? both? the closer it gets it feels like maybe it wont be authorized by BCBS and it will not happen. Very surreal.

How are you feeling? Is it like you expected it to be?

I started taking all vitamins but not the bariatric ones yet, I am trying to find out if BCBS will be covering them before I go out and order them.

Me too! May 24th and getting more excited to have it done and be a loser

Been overweight since puberty. Starved to lose weight to be a normal teenage girl. i walked and jogged and starved. Had two boys by 23 yrs old. Gallbladder removed at 23 years old. Gained weight afterward. Divorces and lifes ups and downs along with the scale. Ate Atkins/Keto for seven years. Fell off and back on occasionally. Went from 236 in 2013 to 184 in 2015. Moved to NC and lost to 179 after Covid. Put that back on and then some. Hysterosalpingo-oophorectomy 2004. No hormone replacement therapy due to family hx. of ca. Struggle with Keto last seven years. Cannot eat "normal" without gaining weight. So sick of struggling. Hope that this surgery will be a great tool to get back to my "fighting weight" of 135. I am 5'2 3/4" I now have fibromyalgia, osteo arthritis, UCTD, Sleep Apnea, high cholesterol, and occasional high bp and inflammation in my hands, legs, etc.. Its time to get healthy again. If any of you are approximately 200lb or any weight for that matter, I would love to pen pal. I have pre-op jitters. Scared the closer May 24th approaches. I want this but the rest of my life with this WOE scares me so much. I have a really good appetite and I am afraid of failure.

It’s a lifelong battle isn’t it? Just being mindful is hard

It’s to find out exactly what medication would work for your genes. Anxiety med etc.

I am definitely an emotional or anxiety or happy celebrating Eater so whenever yeah. I’ve talked about it with my psych np I had the gene sight test done there also get results tomorrow! Will be relieved to find out if they can tell what’s best for me instead of guessing

Don’t get me wrong I am a junk food aholic but I’ve learned my body hates it so I try to keep from cheating my whole life. I fall off and get right back on but the damage is done

New to this site tonight. May 24th RNY
