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 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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
