After bugging BCBS of IL and TeamCare, I was approved. My dr's office submitted everything last week on 4/3/18 and I was approved today! I am so overjoyed. Cannot wait to talk to my Dr's office and get this surgery scheduled. My son graduates from college on 5/12 so I'm going to wait until after his graduation to have it done. I cannot wait. I'm so thrilled! Literally feels like there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I can't wait to start binning all my old clothes which is weird to say as I'm sure a hoarder! I am avoiding it though until I'm practically on my last pair of jeans. Belts are great, love them and I'm kinda fine rocking baggy. Been doing it all my life. I am looking forward though to splashing out on a few summery items, nothing fancy, just a few smaller tees and capris so I can really enjoy my walking in the warmer weather. Can't be going aroud in big old baggy jeans then.

Smart move. If after 5 minutes more you feel like you can rock it, keep going. Again, listen to your body. Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hooray!

I buy those too. My kids love them! They also help me when I want something sweet. Sleeved 8/7/17 HW: 256 SW: 248 CW: 188 on 3/7/18 5'7" GW: 150

I am on 3 premier protein ready made shakes per day ( 160 cal, 30g protein, 1g sugar, 5 carbs ) and I have 1 sugar free jello and 1 sugar free popsicle each day. I can have some vegetables, such as cucumbers, lettuce, etc as well as low sodium broth. I do not have issues with my liver, it was more of a goal my surgeon set for the 2 weeks prior to surgery to be safer. I am just going to continue with the plan and trust the process. less than a week away, so getting excited and anxious... Thank you for your comments and suggestions - I sincerely appreciate it .

Yesterday marks 1 year of my weight loss journey. My first weigh in after deciding to get bariatric surgery I was 259.4 lbs. Today I am 215 lbs. So happy where I'm at!

What article @ Sosewsue? All I see is your post, that of[mention=14356]Fluffy[/mention] Chix and the statement that I'm going to love something. Only Harry Potter was into invisibility cloaks. God knows I love many things in life but not a mystery I can't solve. So huh? Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you all ! I did not have problems with a fatty liver so hopefully it will be fine ... I guess it brings me back to my childhood and the punitive nature of doctor visits and the scale. More importantly us that I have been able to follow and stay focused for ten days and not been tempted -which is encouraging !
