Never to soon to start! I had mine on the 11th!?? Anyone else in June yet? And how's it going?

Man it amazes me what I can do and even more I cannot find nothing I can't do...

Mitz, I couldn't agree with you more! There is absolutely no aspect of my life that isn't improved (with the possible exception of my clothing budget!). The things I can do now - its amazing! And no pain!! I was so worried about not being able to take Advil - now I never need it! What a difference a year can make.

SO TRUE. Everything is better. Ev. Ry. THING! And nothing hurts. I actually JOG now and nothing hurts. It's a miracle.

Happy Mothers Day!

I did my first 5k! I got a medal! So proud of myself. I even ran a little instead of wogging!

This is such a positive and supportive and encouraging thread. I hope to have my surgery in July but I'd like to post on here. You all Rock!

Looking good Mel, not that its important but how did you do? and more importantly how do you feel?

I did good. I was with a couple of friends. One of them was struggling pretty bad to make it. She just started her weightless journey. I kept stopping and walking backwards to encourage her. so, all that being said. I finished in 58 minutes. Already planning another one and will improve time.

I feel fabulous and proud!

I just noticed it says weightless instead of weightloss.. I might like that term better. Lol

I am nervous because tomorrow I meet with the Dietician about my progress on the Bariatric Pathway. I typed up a three page note describing everything I have done and will complete this month. There really is no reason I should not be referred to the surgeon by mid June. I really want to have surgery in July or very early August. I am supposed to go to Canada the last weekend of Sept. and to Chattanooga TN to visit old friends and family. Both weekends are women's retreats and I need to be well enough to travel by then. I want to amaze my friends and family. If I don't have surgery in July or very early August I may lose too much weight before I am approved by insurance and I will have to wait until early Nov (sigh) because of my travel plans. I have lost about 17 lbs. since mid-March. The problem is the Dietician insists we stay in preparation for surgery for six months at least. I will have completed all requirements except for the wait. I want to get surgery behind me. I was referred to the Bariatric Pathway on April 9th so my six months will be up November 9th I think. That means waiting from the time I finish requirements in mid-June for five more months! Yikes!!! Pray that she will allow me to do my surgery when I want to do it.

Unfortunately, it's the insurance companies that hold you to the 6 month diet plan. I really wanted my surgery in March last year. I ended up not being able to have it until June, so I understand your frustration, but just remember that everything happens for a reason and trust that's it will all work out.
