Soooo just got a call from my surgeon and he said medicaid wants 2more months of nutrition counseling to make 6 months so no July surgery for me now I have to wait until August..kinda bummed but I know everything happens for a reason..but I was just wrapping my thought and training myself to do right and be prepared for surgery...so I'm guessing it's gods way of saying ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!!! And wait a month..but at least I know it's approved...anyone else experience this

No it's not gods way of saying enjoy your summer. It gives you more time to prepare yourself for what lie's ahead. More time to learn what you need to do to prepare yourself for your future journey. More time to get used to the fact that you are going to start to build a new life for yourself. A healthier, happier life!

What is one more month anyway on the grand scheme of life. One more month. A lot more accomplished.

And then enjoy your summer!

Ur right!!!

I'm just saying instead of recovering from surgery in July I can enjoy my summer with my family... So much so I won't have time to be nervous about the surgery in august..so I'm grateful at least I know I'm approved just gotta wait

Thanks for your insight...

yeah i had that mindset the first few months of my 6 month. Let me just enjoy food as much as i can right now before I have to get surgery and start living healthy yeahh. Ironically I was at my unhappiest those few months when I was eating whatever, Then i snapped out of it and just stopped and took control thank god. I think we need to remember the reason why I want to do this. Eating crap makes me feel like crap. When I treat myself well I feel more confident. And the happiness from food is only momentary. Anyway there is a lot of healthy food that taste delish

Actually Tisa I wasn't referring to enjoying food I meant enjoying the summer with my family instead if worrying about recovery and things like that..this past year I've done a complete 360(eating habits,exercise& food choices)..it's has been the hardest yet most liberating process I've ever been through!!! I made the decision for surgery and I've been living healthier so that once I have the surgery it won't be such a culture shock to my life and the lives of my family..so yeah I'm bummed but GODS got a plan and I'm ready for surgery...

Amen Tisa! Nail on the head! When I go to the gym and make the right choices I'm like a million bucks. When I'm sneaking into a Chinese joint, stuffing and eating so fast that I don't even remember chewing, I just want to get under the covers and die! Why do we do this to ourselves. I'm on day three of my pre op and I am struggling. Had a slice of pizza today. Wanted to throw up I was so pissed at myself.

Lol sorry for misunderstanding. It is a huge transition I hope to have it done this month so I can adjust before I have to go to college. I can def relate to the feeling of liberation. It's like I want to go up to a cheeseburger and be like "im the boss now you punk " but yeah. Good luck to you

Lol Tisa @ the cheeseburger reference

Yeah my surgery is scheduled for the end of august now

Good luck to you as well????

enjoy your summer. congrats on approval, and good luck in your journey. keep us posted!!!
