ecouragement and prayers are needed



Recommended Posts

So i am on my six month physician monitored diet program. Which is technically seven visits consisting of 280 days. I have a bmi of around 39 but with a required comorbidity of hypertension. ... im on visit four. ...my insurance liaison says it shouldnt be a problem being approved. However, things usually never work out in my favor.... I want this sooooo bad.....I just need some encouragement from those who have been there and prayers that it will be approved.....I am sick and tired of being miserable and sick and tired.....I need positive vibes sent in my direction.....okay ...done with my freak out/pity party!

My BMI is 39 and I have hypertension. I just got approved today. Usually if you have hypertension or some other comorbidity, you only need a BMI of 35. Good luck!

Just remember, there are some people who would be happy to be where you are with a six month monitored diet. You have a plan and are moving in the right direction. Don't give up!

I understand how you feel. I was just approved and scheduled for Feb 16th. Those 6 months can feel like forever! My insurance co required that I did not gain any weight during the 6 months which was a new criteria just prior to my entering the program. They are all different and they all make changes which makes can make us nervous. Just keep praying and trusting in God's timing! Don't let any setbacks discourage you! Will be praying for you!

Prayers and encouragement coming your way!!

You've made a smart decision to take care of your health!

To help with the 6 month program you have to follow, you may want to try incorporating some Protein shakes into your meal plans. I started using powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shakes (Unjury.com) last May, long before I had a surgery date because I was planning to have my surgery next month. Well, because of a lot of life events, my surgery was moved up to Nov. 10th. Prior to surgery I was having an Unjury Protein "meal" for Breakfast and lunch and eating supper with my husband. I did lose some weight during that time. Now that I'm post-surgery, I continue to use Unjury because it helps me get the required protein grams needed for weight loss. It tastes great, and there's a chicken Soup flavor which gives you an option that isn't sweet. You may be wondering if I work for Unjury because I'm recommending it, but I don't. I just like it that much and it has made a big difference in my food choices because I don't crave the carbs like I used to.

Blessings and good luck to you!!

      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... :(
