Ugh! The Wait Is Killing Me



Recommended Posts

My insurance requires a six month supervised diet along with SEVERAL other specialist clearances and i will not know if my insurance will approve until after my last weigh in on November 16 :(.

The hurdles you have to jump through really sucks but they want you to be sure you know what you're getting into. It'll be here before you know it.

I hope so, I have completed the sleep study, cardiology clearance, psychiatric clearance, EGD procedure went to one group support meeting and all that is left to do is to see the diatician which is scheduled for next month, two more group support meetings and weigh in every month until November. It's just very frustrating to say the least ????

Oh yeah the wait seems like forever. This is a good time to really do a lot of practice runs with eating and exercising. Next year you will have a new birthday. Just hang out here with us and also if there are support groups you can attend in your area then join in. When you get connected with people and you're doing positive steps it won't feel like such a long time.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
