Hi everyone, I am new as well. I started my process in January and have been through most of my doc's requirements. I am waiting to hear from insurance. I have a previous 6 month diet with metobolic research center and If insurance excepts that then i am a go for surgery. If not, then I need to finish out my monitored diet with my doctor. I have 4 months left. So, June would be my month. I am ok with either option but, I would really like to know now what to expect. It's hard to wait. :redface:

Eye on the prize.. kudos, that was well said. I don't mind the diet part. It would give me extra time to lose weight before the surgery. I am just really looking forward to unzipping the fat suit and getting the help I so badly need in order to do that. It's nice to know other people on here are doing the same thing I am at the same time. It's a great support tool. Did you start your diet yet?

Not so good!!! I need to be held accountable or weigh in somewhere or something. I do the exercise part great. I really enjoy working out. But, the food thing has always been my struggle. I think I need to get better educated on the carbs and portion sizes and the counting calories thing too. I will be routing for you. Let me know how it goes! Good luck. :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
