Approved !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I received my approval letter last night. Less than 25 days from seminar to approval. I am excited. I start the dreaded liver shrinking diet on 9/9 but I have been told my doctor does allow some food. They would have done surgery 15 days from now but I just couldn't get everything in order that quick so it will be the 29th. Looking forward to my new life.

YAY!!! Goodluck with everything. I was approved last week, it only took 2 days to get my approval back, I was expecting a couple weeks so I was very excited to hear it. My surgery is October 6th..........My doctor only told me that I had to do a low carb diet of 65grams or less. Those were my only instructions. He is listed with the center of excellence so I am not going to question this but I'm used to hearing liquid only.

Mine is about the same, low calorie (800) low carb for 14-days, but I think I will try to do just liquids the last couple of days. I'm so excited!!! :lol:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
