Do you WLS ideas or just ideas in general.

Ideas in general: reality tv, tetris, memorize flags of different countrys?

For WLS, you could start to ease off things you will have to rule out during your preop and postop phase. If you are a pop/soda drinker, try to stop now. Drink more Water...find things you can add to Water that you might like?

Try replacing a meal with a Protein shake or at least find some you can come close to enjoying?

Start walking or working out (if you dont already)

Read lapband blogs? lol...I kill lots of time like that. The link to mine is in my signature.

Hope some of that helps! I know waiting sucks!

Thanks I was looking for WLS, and I've been trying those I'm not big on soda, bread is the killer I'm trying to back off and increasing the work outs I kinda of heard (from ins co) that I've been approved but haven't heard from the dr.s office yet I think once I have a date I'll be mucho excited. I know I can spend hours on this site as well.

WORK ON YOUR DIET!!!!

Especially if you have to do a pre-op liquid diet. Start decreasing your calorie intake now. Stop eating out alot (if you already do) this will help with withdrawals!

GOOD LUCK!!

I had to have my testing before I was approved. You are lucky. You can sit and count the money you saved by not having to do the testing first. Ha Ha

3 weeks and still waiting for approval

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
