I went to my seminar last september, did my psych consult, blood and urine testing done, letter of intent to the doctor in, my primary doctor sent a letter in, met with NP last november, met with surgeon in january. I hadn't lost my 5% yet, so he sent me on my way and rescheduled for tomorrow. I tweaked my diet so I was focusing on protein more, increasing my exercise alot and have kept an immaculate journal including the times of the day when I was eating and making sure I had protein every time I ate. My scale shows that I barely lost anything. I am soooo afraid that he won't do anything for me since I haven't lost the 5% yet. Today I'm basically just drinking a couple protein shakes and vegetables and will do a little magnesium citrate tonight (can't hurt, right?). I'm praying so hard that he can still help me. My diet will show I've done everything he's asked. I'm just a wreck.

Good luck, Heather! May the scale gods smile upon you!

Just keep doing the things you're suppossed to do! The weight WILL come off.

Prayers and Good WIshes for you!

Someone very wise told me that excitement and nervousness come from the same place in our bodies, and physiologically the reactions are the same. Therefore, when I “say” I feel nervous, I choose to turn it around to being “excited.” That helps me. Good luck on your doctor's visit, and keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Good luck!

My sleeve date is March 3! Yahoo!

The weight will come off. Maybe your body is just in shock right now.

Plus, your scale may be different then theirs!

Good luck! =)

Yay! I went in this morning, and couldn't sleep that much. My total weight loss so far is 10+ pounds. My surgery is march 22! I am hoping to get my preop testing done this week. I meet with my primary next week. I have arranged all my work days so it works out. I'm beyond excited right now!!!!
