congrats! you dont sound conceited! you sound NORMAL!

the less protein you get in, the less you will lose. once you start getting in the 60-90g, you will see the weight falling off more. dont stress it. you will have stalls. stay positive love! <3

im so glad youve joined us and glad you finally posted your story! i was waiting to see if i would see you on here! sleevers, alex is one of the nicest guys you will meet and you will see it through his posts and youtube vlog! meeting him in person was a pleasure & him & i happen to be seeing the same team of doctors at the same hospital. hes the go to guy!

thank you!!! im taking it one day at a time. i know before i know it, the day will be here! its been a long 6 months but at the same time, it passed quickly! im keeping myself busy. i know once i meet my surgeon (9 days), itll be a fast rollercoaster from there! i know itll feel like i went from walking through my day to driving through my day. itll all be so quick. im just praying for a speedy approval from my insurance company!

you guys make me wish for my surgery even more!! im hopefully getting sleeved on dec 19th or 20th! i meet my surgeon on the 29th

congrats!! how long was the wait?

very well put! im praying to be sleeved on dec 19th or 20th so my wishes for 2012 is to be off my meds, lose enough weight to feel good in my skin, & fix all the issues that my weight has created!

yay! that sounds GREAT!!!! god bless you!! im praying to be sleeved either on dec 19th or 20th!

i was told chicken broth has no Protein.

YOU REEEEEAAAALLYYYY NEED TO GO TO THE ER!!!!! this is not good. god bless u

congrats!!

good luck and congrats!!! <3

good luck sweety <3

im getting SUPER excited! im 2 weeks exactly from meeting my surgeon & possibly 5 weeks away from being sleeved.

yikessssss! when you say your liver is slightly elevated, what does that mean? is it the fatty liver because i have a fatty liver. what does your pcp feel may be wrong with your esophagus? what im praying isnt wrong but iveread on it before and i want you to familiarize yourself with so you can ask your surgeon about it is.... sometimes with the sleeve, they make the openings too small which makes it nearly impossible to eat any foods & you throw it up & etc. what they can do is attempt to stretch it out but giving you endoscopys to stretch it. if that doesnt work, they can place stints to try & stretch it. IF all else failed, they will perform a gastric bypass because the stomach would be useless. PLEASE do not freak out! this is only something i read and the ONLY reason for me telling you is so that you can educate yourself on it and be straight forward with your surgeon and find out what the hell is wrong and possibly eliminate what i just told you. im praying for u & im here for u. <3

i was on antibiotics but had to stop! it was making me soooooooo nauseous & dizzy! no way could i have kept takin them even though i had 2 days to go. lol.. i rather have the friggin sinus infection!!! lol. i hope you feel better today! <3 ((((hugs))))

yikes!! what i surance do u have? im glad u r being such a trooper

you dont have insurance? what mushies r u having?

i went ahead to get a second pcp letter with my weight included (which wasnt there before) & im getting copies of my dr notes within the last 3yrs since i had a different pcp for a while there. i donr want my insurance to have any excuse to deny me!

the hospital called me today & changed my date to meet with my surgeon to the 29th of november which is when ill schedule my surgery date. my 6th month insurance required appt is dec 1st. im praying to be sleeved on dec 19th or 20th. QUESTION: • how long after submitting your papers to your insurance were you approved? • how long after being approved were you sleeved? i talked to my nurse practioner who talked to the surgeon & he said its realistic to get sleeved by then. im so nervous that i wont get my desired dates.

if the mushies are making you throw up, try adding something to it. you definitely want to start trying to get mushies in. even if its a tiny bit & u turn right back to liquid, just to get your body used to it. eat VERRRRRRRRY slow in tiny amounts. so small that u dont think you put anything in your mouth. itll make a difference. itll even give u more energy. im sure throwing up made you feel so much pain. i cringed when i read it. just keep trying. if pain gets worse, call ur surgeon again! maybe they can prescribe more pain meds or maybe itll be time for a visit to the ER! & ER trips are fun (no matter what anyone says) because they will give u iv & u will be so hydrated! more hydrated than we can make ourselves at this point. lol. im talking like im already sleeved! lol

its ok!! im not blind but on my iphone, i just cant make out the words to save my life. the letters are too narrow & close together & then the light color too, YIKES!!!!! id be here all day. lol. im 23, you would think my font would be like that too. lol.

WELCOME!!!! <3 i am currently in my 5th month of my 6 month required supervised diet. im praying to be sleeved on dec 19th or 20th! youre definitely in the right place. as far as pain goes, DONT WORRY!!!! its like having a baby, you know its going to hurt but you want it so bad that pain shouldnt be an issue! i never had kids but i have tattoos that hurt like hell & i have gotten 2 brazilian waxes! i also have had my gall bladder removed which i hear is just as painful. all im saying is, i want this so bad that as long as i wake up & have no complications, BRING ON THE PAIN (with some morphine plz!! lmao). i hope this put you at ease.

wow! thats bananas!

seems like they make the food look nicer & juicier when we cant have them! & the commercials come on more often! aint that some bs? loll!!!! <3
