Are you ready?

Hi! I had an appointment with a doctor on Dec 5th and got a date of April 13th 2017 :)

Yay!!!

I'm having mine this Friday! So nervous and excited at the same time. Starting off the new year with a new sleeve!

Excited for you! My paperwork has just been sent to United Healthcare on Thursday. Waiting on approval. Would like to schedule some time in January as well.

Have you gotten word about your approval yet?!

Took my before picture yesterday! Beforevsg.jpg

Yay! How is the pre-op diet going for you? I am going to take my before photos as well!

So far so good. I am trying to stomach 2 shakes a day and one meal, but working my way to that. Instead I do one shake, one protein rich snack and then a protein rich dinner. I'm finding an easier time that way. Haven't cut caffeine totally but have cut out Coca cola completely and stopped smoking. I'm on day 3 and not feeling unsatisfied and feeling pretty proud of myself. When I weighed at the docs office Thursday I was 428. On my own scale today I was 418! Can't wait to see your before pics And especially your after pics.

What a way to start the new year!!

I have just begun my process, and my surgeon thinks I will have a date in early may [emoji4]

I'm scheduled for 2/13/17.

My first appointment was back on 10/13. After that appointment, I stopped snacking and drinking alcohol. I started using MyFitnessPal to track calories. I managed to lose a quick 30 pounds in two months. The first 30 lbs is always the easiest to lose and the quickest to regain. I figured that I'll lose the "easy" weight on my own and then get help from the sleeve to finish the job. I hope to have lost 50 lbs before the time of surgery.

I know that seems so long but the time will go by fast. I first started looking into this with my current doctor was last December and it seems like it was last month I inquired about the surgery. What helped me pass the time was getting information, watching youtube and making sure I am mentally and emotionally prepared for this journey after surgery.

I will I don't have the date yet I'm hoping in January : )

I hope you are able to get your January date!

Thanks xxx that's exactly what I am doing... Going through the motions and making sure I'm really set up to succeed.

This is my third time with a scheduled surgery date. It is truly important to do the research and you must feel ready mentally and physically. I know now nothing is stopping me. Life is too short to live it. And to live it long and healthy! Scheduled date Jan 11 and I wish it was today! I'm actually dreading the liquid prep but glad I only have to do it a week.

What's a pitpictial day looks like.

What are you eating for meals ?

I'm hoping for March or April. I've gotten everything done but need to bring my A1C down to a 7 or below. Started out in August with it being 9.1 and November it was down to a 7.7. Any ideas on how to bring it down? I'm trying so hard! It's frustrating!
