I live in San Diego and am still doing research about everything. My insurance will be changing and I won't be able to start appointments and everything until the first of August :-(. I keep telling myself to use all of this time to get my mind ready for changes. I'd love to hear about your process and what doctors and things you are using. I'm a kaiser member so I'm not sure ow different everything will be. How long did it take you to do all of the referrals and everything and get a date set for surgery?

I am eating yogurt, s/f Jello, and creamy Soups. I found a cheddar one that I am gonna try today. I can not wait until Monday when I can have some cheese! Unfortunately I can not go to the support group. I have school at night. How did your first post op appt go? I was down 20lbs

sleevesyked · June 28, 2013

Yes I can't wait for monday either for the same reason. Were you down 20lbs from surg or 20 lbs grom start of the pre op diet and everything? I am down 23 from pre op diet added. So 13 from surg. Since I started my protien on monfay I haven't lost anything but the doc says its because I'm gaining my muscle back so Its a good thing and not to worry.

Yes down 20 since surgery. I have so much more energy than before.

sleevesyked · June 28, 2013

Wow that is great. So happy for you! :-) I feel so much better too amd I know mine will come off when its time. I'm just grateful to be on this new direction of my life. Have a great day. Would love to here your progress from time to time.
