I just started my six-month wait. My first appointment with the surgeon was the 9ths, and my first nutritionist appointment was the very next day. I had scheduled the nutritionist appointment on my own so the coordinator was a little surprised. I told her I am highly motivated and completely on top things! Endoscopy is scheduled for November 22, I have scripts for all the blood tests and EKG, and once I get the psych eval done, all that is left are the nutritionist appointments. I even scheduled November and December already. Can't schedule Jan, Feb, and March until the 2014 calendar opens up. Highly Motivated!

Luckily I do not need to lose any weight during this 6 month wait. Right now I am only working on night-time snacking. Each month I will work on something else so that I am ready for a new life.

How wonderful that most of us in this thread will be sleeved in the Spring! What a fabulous time of year for new beginnings!

Hello, my nsme is Peggy and I stsrted the 6 month ptocess @ the end of Aug BCN of MI requies it. They call it supervised nutrition counseling. They dont require certain lbs 2 lose. I went to seminar first. I have seen a nurse practioner, dietician(did I spell that right), 1 doc who lets u know what tests u need b4 surgery and I had my phych eval. I also saw an exercise specialist who just wants me 2 add exercise slowly. I have 2 go back in Nov to go over my results 4 phych eval.

I started my six months at the end of Aug too. I've done just about everything except the pulmonary function test, which I'm scheduled to do that next week. I have no Idea what's next, I guess I should call and find out.

Yes I like crystal light. Mio is ok but I feel I can taste the dye. I know that's weird.

Not weird at all. That's how I feel about crystal light. My surgeon said I can drink those pre and post-op. Those count as part of your Fluid requirements. Of course, plain Water is best, but if you can't stomach it the flavored stuff is fine. I personally love water and drink it all day long, something I consider very lucky since I know a lot of people do not like it. Talk to your nutritionist. I'm sure you are not the first person to have that problem!

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
