Hang on.... have I missed an argument ? That Morphine has a lot to answer for !!

MY surgery is on February 15th! Any last minute tips or advise are greatly appreciated! I'm beyond nervous!

I make "tacos" all the time. I just skip the taco shell and have the shredded beef, low fat black refried beans with cheese and salsa on top

It can all be very confusing!! Are you still trying to lose weight or are you at maintenance? I think that will make a huge difference. You are right that it's hard to find options that are both low in carbs and fats. Sometimes we have to create our own recipes. I saw one recently that looks really good, that might help you with your taco craving. I saw where someone took cheddar cheese and spread it out on parchment paper. They put it in the microwave and melted it. Then they laid the melted cheese on the paper, over an upside down bowl. The cheese hardened and formed like a bowl. After it hardens, fill the "cheese bowl" with all the ingredients used for a taco. I'll see if I can find the recipe and attach it.

I emailed my surgeon on Friday and dropped by yesterday. The surgeon emailed me yesterday to tell me I was approved and I just have to wait for a date. I will be calling the coordinator tomorrow to check in.

Like the person above me said, I was expecting a November surgery date and FINALLY got a date for march 1st. This whole process varies so much and every program is different. That being said, a lot of the delay was because of my old case worker, since having a new one things have gone pretty quickly. It'll happen! Beg them lol.

Amen!

I'm also having anxiety about my upcoming March 8 sleeve surgery. I think it's very normal at this stage to be nervous. I just remind myself with my past attempts and failures and now starting to have health issues from the weight that this is the time and I need to do this before it's too late. A month post op we're going to feel great! God bless

I felt very much the same way. I was totally made up in my mind to have to surgery so that's how I took it God in prayer. I wanted it, was scared, nervous and willing to be obedient. I knew I had prayed for so any other things and this surgery was an answer to those prayers. But you know what's going on with you. The feeling of dying on the table is normal and being scared that you will be punished by death is also normal. Like other said. Listen for the holy spirit to guide you and go with it. Nothing makes response more clear than a little fasting and praying. Sent from my iPhone
