    I hope you get a date soon. Sounds like you are doing fantastic with the diet and resisting the M and Ms. I started really trying to lose some weight before my last of my 6 month appointments the day

  • Got my approval today May 3rd is my date.

    My insurance company made me wait 6 months, but it is almost over...thankfully! Initially, I too struggled & couldn't choose between the sleeve & lapband surgeries. 2.5 months into the process

Its done and over the hard part is behind me. Everyday I am getting better the gas is killing me. I have to see the doctor tomorrow instead of Thursday since I am having some stomach problems nothing seriuos just want to make sure everything is going the right way. I am never hungry I have to make sure I eat something since I dont have the feeling of eating thats a plus. Vitamins make sure you take them that will help you not get weak need all the energy today I slept all day since I didnt feel so well but the pain is better everyday i have to run to the bathroom thats my down side the doctor thought maybe to much protain but i am still on clear liquids so she wants to make sure whats going on i am drinking and its running right through me We will see what happens I am sure its nothing just my baby catching up.

But it does get better everyday still want soilds but think its just my mind doing that because ia m not that hungry. Now i do feel like i want something to eat now that the pain is way less but not as much as i use too.
