And It Begins ...

Today was my final weigh in & everything should have gone to insurance today!

My CNRP that runs the program insists I should be an easy approval, BUT it will probably be at least Tuesday before I hear! I keep having palps that I will be denied. LOL

Anyway.... thanks for all the support on this site!! I am so glad you know how I am really feeling!

Thanks all! They promised to email me to state my approval even before it goes on my file. LOL

I guess that's a definite plus to working with my surgeon's office for my regular 9-5!! And the all have my extension burned into their brains! ;-)

dont go nuts

go into this (knowing its gonna be tough) but it is very much needed to help ready you for surgery. its more (mental) than anything. i swear if i can do it, you can as i was like (there is no way i could do 2 week pre and post with no food and only liquids). but you know what my hub said. you wanted this so do what you need and have to do to make it happen.

so i will tell you the same.

do what you have to do and make this a reality.

you got this. you do. we are all here for you

(even maddys whose butt i shall beat if she keeps taking my pink popsicles).

just start and say to yourself, bring it on.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
