Another interim weight loss goal reached: I now weigh less than Mr.!!! This morning I weighed in at 156.4 😁
(Mind you, I've reached below his weight the last 3 times I dieted, but I have a good feelings about this time, and that it will stick 😎).
Next interim weight loss goal: Break into the 140's...

Good news and Meh news...
Meh: so I think I experienced/am experiencing my first stall-ish since surgery and now I get how frustrating it can be! So annoying to wake up every morning to watch the scale report a gain or loss of the same 1.5 pounds for over 2 weeks. *sigh*. Some say put the scale away, but I log my weight every morning to get a daily moving average of my weight. So long as this moving average is not heading upwards (which it isn’t and hasn’t since post-op) then I am good with my curent “minimalist” weekly weight loss rate, however small I think it is 🙄.
However.
The Good news:
To allow for some self back patting, and to remind myself of the bigger picture, I set a bunch of interim goals/milestones... a few of which are 10lbs increment weight loss goals:
So this morning, after hovering within 1.5 pounds of an interim goal for over 2 weeks, I weighed in at 164.8, and officially lost 70 lbs! In 4 months. That is 30% of my starting body weight. Or the equivalent of my 10 year old neice. How crazy is that.
Next Goal: weigh in at 162lbs to be merely overweight (and not obese!)

So I just got back from my pre-op...... Chest X-Ray Upper GI EKG Lab work Everyone was super nice! After I registered and did all my paperwork, tech called me to the back. Told me to get undressed and gave me two gowns, one for the front, one for the back. Now I've never had a chest x-ray or upper GI so I didn't know what to expect. Did the chest x-ray, easy. Had me lay down on the hard, metal table, did some more x-rays. Had me flip over on my stomach, then the fun began. He puts me in this awkward position with my head tilted sideways. Then he asked me, okay what would you like to drink? A White Russian? I laughed, he laughed! So I guess you have to drink it laying down so the liquid goes down slowly. So here I am, drinking this nasty, chalky "white russian" laying down on my stomach with my head sideways! Looking back at it now, I must have looked funny! Anyway it all was pretty painless. Went over what to expect on day of surgery and what to bring to the hospital. It's becoming so real now. Getting nervous and anxious. Only 4 weeks away!

Awhile. The insurance said I had to six months of weigh ins so I took my time getting approve by the cardiologist and psychiatrist and sleep center well 3 months in said I didn't have to do weigh ins any more so started working on the other drs and they took forever bc I used my own drs. It's been about 6 or so months could be more lol feels like forever especially since I started this liquid diet!! What about you?

I have UHC plus. I just got my date a few ago for Oct 3. My benefit is 10k max. That does not cover hospital stay. How much did you guys have to pay total for 1 night and what was the minimum you had to pay before surgery?? Please help just a little nervous. Nothing is to big for God.

I'll see what my doctor says. I will probably be solids by then anyway. My diet is like my sister. She had one week pre op and was only one clear for a week after surgery. A week later she was on purée and after that she was on solids. -

Compare RNY Surgery for me?
music1618 replied to mylynn1377's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well I have had a hystorectomy, gallbladder, and several ovarian cyst removed. Along with several joint surgeries. The worst part was the gas in my stomach. It was really the only pain I had, but it was a 4-5 out of 10 for me. I have a high pain tolerance as well. I would compare it to my hystorectomy there was discomfort in the abdomen area, but really just soreness. I was up and back to work in a week. I had soreness around the incision sites where my clothes touched them. Hope that helps! -
I always thought the same thing about Weight Loss Surgery -- if I have to diet anyway, why do I need surgery? But after 40 years of yo-yo dieting and failures, I was ready for something else. The difference is that after the sleeve, you're no longer hungry. Medical problems are resolved. The "diet" is no longer a diet -- it is a food plan for someone who eats to live, rather than lives to eat. For me, food no longer has control over me. It's just another thing I do to take care of myself. Because, yes I am worth it. And, by the way, if you had told me 3 months ago that I would be saying this, I would have said you were nuts! Good luck. You can do this. It will be amazing!

I literally just stopped and took excedrin migraine and drank tons of water. I figured it would be easier to quit now then to have to quit while on the 2 weeks pre op diet ! It's weird I get up and go to work I feel like I'm forgetting something ! But nope just my caffeine lol

I am new ! I went to the surgeon in Dec. and just finished all my testing this week. I was able to move my date up from Feb. 3 to Jan. 26. I am heading back to the surgeon this week for all my clearances. I am having my fingers crossed I am approved! I was on the lower end of the BMI scale. Starting at 201 5'3. Over the past month I stopped going to the gym and have definitely not been eating right and have gained maybe 10 lbs. My endoscopy came back I had a hernia in my esophagus and gastritis. I have to have another endo. Jan 12 to be cleared. Anyone else have this issue?! I was prescribed prilosec and have kicked caffeine for about 2 weeks now so that I would not have the headaches while on the 2 week pre-op diet. FYI my insurance is Empire BCBS (MTA in NY) Anyone a lower end BMI with EMPIRE BCBS??!

Just 3 more days until I'm banded with Plication. Anyone else have this procedure that can fill me in on postoperative pain and how you felt? Also what did you take for your overnight stay, those of you who did stay the night after surgery. I'm finally in my preop liquid diet zone and not feeling so deprived. My new best friend is decaf coffee with flavored sugar free non dairy Creamer..
