I was just approved to start the Stage II Molina Bariatric Surgery Program(Apple Health) last week! (8/11) First NUT appointment is today and I'm already overwhelmed by all the criteria. Lol I'm so nervous because I soooo don't want to screw this opportunity up.

I'm constantly thinking of how many times I've let myself down doing other things. I already know that I won't have the money to afford this in the future, so I better cut the crap right now.. lol Argh! My nerves.. so anxious.. Anyone starting their journey now and looking at Spring 2017 surgery date (If all goes well) ?

My date is March 27th and I get more anxious the closer I get to the date. I know I'm doing it for the right reasons but I've never had surgery before and that scares me. I have my preop appt on the 9th and they'll do blood tests and an EKG. Then I'll meet with the Nut. I have a whole list of questions that I plan to ask the surgeon and the nutritionist.

Hi, my cat's name is Phoenix...LOL I feel the same way, I never had any surgery and I am really scared. I'm having gastric bypass in early April and I cant even think of what I should ask the surgeon.

I'm scared too. My surgery isn't until June. Maybe you could post some of your qurstions and answers? It might help those of us that are panicking.

Here are some of my questions. I will see him next and will post the answers to these as well as any other questions I think of between now and then.

Bariatric Advantage Vitamins (1 pill,4x a day)

When should I start birth control

How long before I can work out? Weight training? Kick boxing or Strength Training? Can I do Rugged Maniac in May or November?

Is the Keto diet a good plan to follow after surgery ( High protein, High fat) or should I stick to high,lean protein and good fats only in moderation?

Can we have lemon/lime juice (Fresh)and when? *For teas and to flavor water*

Can I use Proteu water (Lift) instead of propel?

Is it possible to have a Binder for recovery?

Im sure it won't be that bad for you. Right now they are working with one surgeon. The new one starts in June. Im thinking that if they had 2 surgeons right now my surgery wouldnt be that far out.

But just noticed we have the same surgeon

Surgery will hopefully be in June, but I'm struggling to quit smoking. Gonna try cold turkey tomorrow. I've tried Chantix, patches, gum, Wellbutrin, and everything else including hypnosis. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

You got this Terri!!! Keep pushing!!! I know it seems hard to make all those changes at once,but you will feel so much better after you notice positive changes within you. You can look forward to adding on years vs. subtracting them... ? SENDING

POSITIVE VIBES!!?
