So being the impatient women that I am I could not wait another moment and called UHC to ask about my paperwork that had been submitted just two days ago lol She told me I was already approved!! I am so excited! Thank you Jesus!! Now I am just waiting on a call from my Dr's office:) Man things have really flown by!! Hope all is well with everyone!! Happy Losing!!

I so hope so!! I have already quite caffeine, most sugar and carbs. So I am trying to get ahead and maybe it won't be so hard when time is actually here.

How do people going about dark sad feelings when doing the gastric bypass diet when you have zero friends or family who support you? I've been having this problem and it has been a struggle. I feel very alone and when I'm lonely and sad I want to eat but I know I cannot emotional eat. On top of that my wls surgery is May 15th so I cannot afford to do that. I feel like I've been feeling a million emotions at once. It's very hard for me these few weeks between not being able to eat much, only liking water and ice and it hurts to swallow due to my bad allergies, I'm just miserable! I just feel like I wish I had more people to vent to about these feelings besides my bariatric journal or my psychologist. I notice when I talk out my emotions it's better instead of feeling them because they derail me tremendously.

I did the same thing, but it was late in the afternoon, so nothing happened yesterday. Rest assured that I will be on it first thing Monday morning!

I know I’m a day late but never mind lol. Friday was great, I worked 11 hours but managed to get a ton of work done which means I’m on top of everything for my holiday... I leave next Thursday for two and a half weeks in the sun... hurrah. I slept so well last night, a first for the past ten months or so which is fantastic. What FluffyChix said !!!

Congrats y'all!!!! See you on the other side of the fence soon!

When you go shopping, are you hungry? If so, make sure you eat before you go. Only take enough money for what's on your list. HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 228 GW: 165

Way to go! I have been to restaurants with the family and I have done similar to you. Almost any place will accommodate my special requests. If I order my own plate of food most of it comes home for additional meals. That feeling of being able to go out with the family and do "typical" things is all part of our learning process. You did a great job.

i am 3 weeks out and can drink water fine. It will get easier. Heck....sometimes i catch myself forgetting i had surgery and after gulping water down....i get a not so friendly reminder. lol But it does get easier!
