@esaad I'm excited. I fear this may feel like the "longest" week ever. Lol

I feel the same. I am running errands today trying to get everything done so I won't have anything to do the week of surgery. I will have a busy 4 days at work starting tomorrow so I am hoping that will help time fly by. Have a great monday everyone!

My BMI is about 31.6. I only told my husband and my two adult children.

I am going to Mexico because my insurance would not cover the surgery.

My husband and I will fly to San Diego next Sunday, and my surgery will be on Monday the 15th.

Is WLS expensive in Brussels?

Guys, I recently heard about dietbet where you bet a certain amount of money, and if you lose 4% of your weight then you can split the pot with others who also lost weight. I joined two games, one was $30 and the other was $35. They both are right when we get the sleeve, so I know I will at least get the money I paid, plus hopefully more back. I'm posting the two game links here, if you're interested!

Yes, I am glad he is able to come with me. I don't think I would go alone. Our children are grown and we have 3 grandchildren already. I feel so much older than many who are getting WLS. But I plan on enjoying my 50's and not having to worry about my weight.

I am paying $4600 for my surgery in Mexico so about the same. If I wanted to have the surgery close to home here in the US it would cost me anywhere from $15,000-20,000.

lol , I hope they were satisfying 😂.

I had a Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch, and I have a meatloaf in the oven for dinner. I will have 3oz of it and some mixed vegetables.

I have never heard of this before. Are you sure this is legal and not a scam?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
