Well I went and I wasn't put on schedule lol but I did get to see dietician.

2 days later seen nurse and psych and scheduled with surgeon.

I started Protein shakes for Breakfast as a beginning to start. I'm at a rock for weigh loss now because I'm limited as my insurance does bmi at surgery request , not bmi at beginning. I'm at 41 but with comorbities I can go (she suggested 36) so it was 35 and give them an excuse to exclude for that.

Everyone has been great and they were super excited that I had my planned things printed out history meds docs surgery their requirements and insurance requirements already. It made things very smooth! lets kick ass this 6 months to get to the date !!! I deserve it, my family deserves it

I had my Endoscopy on the 12th and now waiting for insurance submission. I can't believe this could be happening by next month.

Still working on getting my surgeon to submit for authorization. Last hoop....check.

Such a draining process, but I try to tell myself they make you go through everything to weed out the weak and make sure that they truly dedicated ones push through.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
