I got my surgery date today!! It is exactly 3 months after I started the program (which most people said couldn't be done). I am sooooo excited. It still feels like forever away, but atleast I have a goal in sight now.

I started all of mine in September 2012 and my surgery is on February 25. So I had five months of waiting

Well my info session was in the beginning of November, so its been longer than 3 months. But since I actually was accepted into the program, it will be 3. :)

Well I'm jealous! LOL! I had to do a 12 month program before they would give the approval so April 17th marks the date. I can have my surgery that day or anytime there after. I hope they do it in the month of April that would really make me happy! Congrats to you both!

I started mine Jan 15th and having surgery Feb 26th. You have to be a bitch and tell everyone your spots need to be NOW and follow up and then follow up again. I'm on Medicare and did not have to jump thru hoops time wise. One week liquid nearly killed me but just one more day.

Omg congrats! My insurance requires a 3 month supervised diet but it ends April 16th, so I did pretty good at being pushy. I was really nice about it though. They said they've never had someone as "motivated" as me lol.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
