You have to be annoying

I saw my surgeon for the first time in December and have been doing the 6 month supervised diet with my regular Dr. I have 2 more supervised visits before I get my insurance approval. Hopefully there won't be any problems getting approved. My surgeon said they can schedule surgery 2 weeks after approval. So, I could be looking at an early August surgery day. Just in time for my birthday! :-)

I start my liquid diet in two weeks.

I've been stocking up on Protein powder and canned things I'll need for purée in the first weeks after.

I ordered opurity chewable Vitamins for bariatric surgery. I ran out of my normal Multivitamin and started on them.

They are huge!!!! I hate chewable vitamins and these the five times the size of the typical chewables.

I don't know how I'm going to choke them down.

@meganski I think you already sent me a private message and I got it earlier so I can add you. If not send me one so I can find you on FB. The page is set on secret so people cant find it even by the link anymore. We did that to protect the privacy of members on the page. There are a few that arent telling people. Our page is for summer sleevers June, July and August. Our first surgery out of our group os tomorrow.

Hello everyone,

My info was submitted to insurance on 5/18- There is a 15 business day turn around and now it is the waiting game. My coordinator said we should be ready to roll late June early July.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
