I don have a date yet:( I am playing the awful waiting game. I just keep waiting an waiting for the insurance company to call. If I could just have the date I feel like a could take a breath. Very frustrated.

How are you??? Three weeks away to a whole new life. I couldn't be more excited for you. Hats your diet like?

Try calling insurance. The more you bug them the faster they seem to get things done so you won't bother them anymore.

My diet I guess isn't the worse one out there. I can have 1 serving of oatmeal, 1 small yogurt, I small piece of fruit, 3oz of chicken breast or fish with no sauce or seasoning, and 1 cup of veggies. It is less than 600 calories a day. It isn't so bad in the mornings, but after work I seem to be the hungriest and the small dinner isn't cutting it.

I hope you get your date soon! It does make it real from that point on (so does the pre-op diet)!

I am a week out. I called today and they said a nurse would be in contact with me on the 14. I just doesn't seem fair.

I am so happy for you! And remember that this is the worst part. After the surgery the hunger won't be as bad and you get to cross over to the losers bench. Just keep your eyes on the prize girl and you will do great!

Yeah I have to keep telling myself that! Hopefully the time will go by quickly. And hopefully time will fly for you too. Do you know what kind of pre-op diet you will have to do?

Yay congrats!! I saw your status on fb that's why I thought I would ask. It will go quickly. I was just thinking today how fast it has gone from May 15 when I found out my date to now being almost 2 weeks away! I'm so excited for you; it is a relief to have the actual date.

That's the truth! I have just been praying that I would have an answer. I have cried and completely lost sleep. I just hope this time flys by. I cannot believe you are two weeks away!! How are you feeling??

I'm pretty content about it. I had my last nutrition case today and there was a lot of info about post op diet and Vitamins. I'm more stressed about getting my apartment ready for my stepmom to come stay with me after surgery than the actual surgery. I think because I am so ready for it...I have no second thoughts!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
