WOW! You poor thing. You need to dump that doctor ASAP! And report him for abuse! So not cool! What kind of insurance do you have? My plan said that even if you did lose so much weight that your no longer obese, they would still do the surgery. Somehow I doubt that, though.

Hi Folks, I'm pretty new here so I'll introduce myself. My name is Martha and I'm having my sleeve done in June, when the semester is over and I can take the summer off to focus on exercise and eating right. I'm a single mom and in school. I also volunteer as in intern for a Judge in family court. I've gone thru almost the entire process at Kaiser South San Francisco; classes, weigh ins, appointments with Psych and surgeon. It's really exhausting, and expensive, as I live about an hour away. Last week my surgeon cleared me for surgery and told me not to gain any wait before the big day. He asked me to get below a certain weight, and I did but, it was close. As soon as I left the hospital, I got nervous and anxious about the actual surgery. I watch lots of video's and vlogs on youtube of people who have done it and are succeeding. They are actually the people who gave me to courage to seek out the surgery. If they can do it, why can't I? KWIM? The problem is, ever since I left the doctors office I feel like eating everything. I actually made brownies and ended up eating most of them. UGH! Seriously, what was I thinking? FOOD! CHOCOLATE! YUM! That's what I was thinking. I really struggle with food addiction so I'm working on getting past cravings and finding ways to get my mind off it. The thought of actually going thru the surgery, is scaring the beeezuz out me. Right now, I want to go for a walk but it's pouring rain outside and that's my excuse. Lame! I know! Has anyone else felt like they were sabotaging themselves? How did you get yourself out of this mindset? I've got three months to go and it's seems like a looooong weight. Thanks for reading.

Going thru the same thing, here. And I have til June to convince myself of the same thing.

B-12 sublingual is not an expensive one, usually. I got mine from Celebrate's online. Calcium citrate chews I got from bariatric advantage. The multi's are a chewable from trader joes and I love them. It tastes like a giant Flintstones. I also take a B-1, or thiamin that I got at Whole Foods Market. This is all on top of my synthroid and antidepressant. Good luck! And Good HEALTH!
