I'm doing great!!!! I'm down just over 80lbs and feeling great!! I was very lucky and had zero complications. I will tell you the first few weeks for me were really hard. I had a very hard time getting my liquids in and my Protein but as the weeks went on it got easier. I don't regret it for one minute!!!

How's the liquid diet going?

It's not too bad. I'm on the preop diet and its 2 Protein shakes, 1 Protein Bar, and a lean cuisine or frozen meal of that sort for dinner. SF Popsicles are my lifesaver!!!

Glad to hear you are doing so well. You've lost a ton of weight!!! You must feel amazing. The one thing I'm most worried about, is getting in my fluids after surgery with this heat. Remind me....you had the sleeve right?

Yes I had the sleeve. In the beginning it was hard to get the fluids but I have no issues now. I'm able to drink normal amounts without any issues.

I had my surgery there in march, they are fantastic!!!

After the seminar they will call you to set up an appointment with the nutritionist and get hr process started. You'll have several months to prepare for your new life. They run an awesome program and everyone is so nice and helpful.

I've been asked to speak at those seminars just haven't made it to one yet. Any questions you have feel free to ask, no question is off limits!!!

Thank you!! I'm ridiculously excited

You should be excited!!! It was the best thing I've ever done for myself and have zero regrets. I'll actually be at CMC Wednesday myself but it will be to have my gallbladder removed .

Oh no! I hear that's a pretty common occurrence after WLS?

Oh also, do you remember what CMC'S requirements were,like how many classes and all that , I guess I'm looking for a time line lol

It really all depends on your insurance. There is a 6 week class you have to take, you'll have to see the exercise people I think twice but could be one. You'll need to see the psychiatrist and have a few test done. Some insurance companies require additional things, mine required 3 month supervised diet plan.

[nh-vsgirl 102]

That all sounds doable, yay! What's the exercise class all about? Oddly enough , I actually really like working out lol, although I have made a point not to until I get my first weigh in, I don't want to accidently lose 5lbs by some miracle and not make the bmi required lol, I'm not against putting a 2lb weight in my pocket .
