I just got my approval from insurance and the first available date was May 6th. Was really hoping for April! Seems like I've been waiting forever!!

Today is day 4 of my liquid diet! It's hard!!! Food is everywhere when your a Mom!!! I still have to feed these rug rats!! But today I work and I work at a bar that I have full range of bar food!!!! I'm hoping and praying day flies by and I have the willpower to not shove anything in my mouth! I blame always working around found half my problem. When it's there I eat it!

I wish you the best! You can do this, you own this, food will no longer control us hun, we are doing this to control the food and it will be so worth it. I myself is dreading May 14th, the day I start my liquid diet as well, I'm going to take it as a challenge with food just like I did with cigarettes when I quit letting them control me and I'm smoke free 6 years now. Whenever you want to put something in your mouth drink a glass of water or brush your teeth if you can

I feel the same way! I can't imagine being below 200 pounds. That's just nuts to think about! But I'm starting to actually believe that it's going to happen When do you start the liquid diet?

not sure yet I'm on meds now for Hpylori it's a bacteria in the tummy so not sure yet, I'm scheduled for May 12th for surgery but that's if my approval come in should be in soon Tuesday would be two weeks...can't wait to hear ive been approved.

What was the hardest part of your journey? I'm worried about head hunger hunger and not being able to keep the weight off.

I'm extremely worried about the head hunger as well... I'm on Day 5 of my pre-op liquid diet, and not being able to eat has been extremely difficult.

Oh no- I'm sorry to hear that! Does it have anything to do with the diet, or is it a non-related issue?? Please let me know when you get your approval!!

I was approved on April 4, and I got my date on April 7. Only 10 more days until May 7! I keep watching these videos of the surgery online. Is that weird?? Lol

Don't worry, you will do fine hun, I felt the same way when I was waiting for my answer too, I think we all feel nervous waiting for the answer, when I asked the nurse, she said not to worry, they very rarely turn anyone down

I'm 10 days post op just tried Greek yogurt for the first time it made me stomach grumble. But today I got on the scale and I'm .4 lbs heavier.... What's going on with me?!! I've lost 28.5 lbs so far. I'm in such a down mood today I was so hoping to be closer to 30lbs today.

My date is May 12th, been on the preop diet for two weeks now. I put the scale away, it was driving me crazy. Saw the doctor yesterday, she was happy with my weight loss. She also told me that I will be out of work for at least four weeks because of the type of job i have, so i applied for short term disability. All is good. Actually i feel pretty good today.
