NOOOOOOOOO. What does yellowish-green mean?? Will it delay things for you?? God girl...I hope not. I'm ok. I've been back on, back off track. Ugh. I dunno what's wrong with me. I gained 2 lbs so not happy about that. Just gotta keep on trucking I guess.

LOL.... I was just sitting STILL stewing about it... Yellowish green... said she couldnt give me a full green just get until she speaks to my therapist and psych to make sure Im seeing them... I mean before I sat down she informed she that very few people get green lights... And after 85 questions had the nerve to give me the shit after saying to me that ive done everything above and beyond what has been asked ... No f'ing duh!!! OH OH OH.... Then she asks me if they had set my goal weight and I her no so she asked if I had a number so I told her Id like to get to between 195-200... She says well your goal weight will be set at 265, thats 40% of your starting weight... Thats the normal weight loss for the surgery... I mean now shes telling me that i wont be as successful as i thought i was going to be?!? I was calm but when i got on thw elevator you should have heard me, lol... OMG!!!

She sounds like an evil wench. You can be as successful as you want to be with this surgery. Who the hell is she to choose your goal?? Not very professional. I'm sure ill fail. I'm a real no bullshit kinda person. I tell it like it is. I hope I don't get this woman...what is her name?? I almost feel like this program holds people back in a way. Ugh. Now ill be biting my nails from now until my psych eval...or evil lol. I almost wish I went to Mexico and self paid...

Typical geisinger psych... I hate them... And they are all the same... They have the best drs but seem to get all the reject psychs that no one wants... I had an appt with my therapist the same day and was telling her about and she said it sounded to her like she was trying to get a reaction out if me... Which in a way i knew she was and i refused to let her get the best of me thats why i kept my mouth shut until i left... Because i knew if i said what i was thinking at the time my chance of ever getting a green light would never happen.... I just keep telling myself, you just have to get past this one hurdle then ur on ur way,... I think this lady is only in danville... U will be doing ur appt in wilkes right?

I hope so. I think ill only have to go to danville to see the surgeon and for the surgery. I believe all other appts will be in Wilkes barre which is a far enough drive for me lol. Well I'm glad you kept your cool. Fingers crossed you'll get that green light shortly. I'm rooting for you!!!

Eh, I dunno. The last almost 2 weeks I can't seem to stay focused. I fell and hurt my knee and I've been in pain. I dunno. sleeping a lot, skipping meals, not logging food. I'm not eating a lot or crappy but I need to eat small meals thruout the day to lose weight. My biggest problem for years was skipping meals and eating all my calories at once. My body doesn't do well like that. But yeah, just feeling tired lately. I gained 2 lbs which is a huge disappoinment. I know it happens but I'm beating myself up about it. This 6 month program sucks. I feel it gives you too much time to eff up before u even get close to surgery. Just frustrated I guess.

I think my knee will be ok. It was a week ago Monday so I'm giving it another week and if it still hurts a lot, ill make an appt. I do use a shake a few times a week as a Meal Replacement. Like I said, I lost focus for a bit. I'm a very impatience person so this wait is making me frustrated. It seems now I do great for 3 days and then boom, I slack for 3 days. Gotta stay focused!!!!

My next appt isnt until Oct. 18. Another thing that annoys me. My appts were steady every 4 weeks. Now this one will be almost 7 weeks. Like wth??? Ugh. I gotta snap out of it.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
