I have been approved by insurance to go ahead with surgery, everything has been turned into Synergy, so I am just awaiting a surgery date. I've been waiting a week already for a date and I'm getting anxious! I want this done :) any advice for me while I wait, or anything I should do to prepare?

Congratulations!! I would follow up with them if it's already been a week! I heard the same day from my surgeon and the insurance that I had been approved and to confirm my surgery date.

As for preparing, I would make sure you have lots of Liquid Protein on hand because you are not going to want to go shopping for that stuff after surgery (protein shakes, broth, Jello, etc). I also made sure that things around the house were caught up with since I knew I wouldn't want to do it for a while after surgery (laundry, etc). I also put a few books on my kindle that I had been wanting to read since you won't be doing much but walking and resting for at least the first few days after surgery. Hope that helps and good luck!!

Thanks! Are there any Protein powders that you recommend? Or that give you the most for your money? My Drs recommended Bariatric Fusion but I would like other options just in case.

I am really not the best person to ask. The Protein Shakes made me feel sick and I only used them until I was able to eat my protein. But I found EAS powder that is 100% whey protein and has 26g protein and is low carb at BJs. They sometimes have coupons for it. GNC has their own brand and is a good place to check, they have some good sales sometimes. Hopefully someone else can give you some more recommendations!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
