I thought it would be much easier to not wanna est anything.. Instead I'm having the hardest time doing water every 15 minutes, but feel like I could give in and eat.. Sucks
-
I'm just hoping this gets better cos ive been second guessing my choice. Also hasnt helped that people around me are constantly saying 'well u lost 25 by yourself, just keep going!' Nope, doesn't work like that. I just want this part to be over
-
Just so hard cos I used to loooveee downing a cold glass of water, now I'm just so turned off by this medicine cup it's crazy..can't wait for protein tomorrow!

So I've done my Pre op miralax drinking, and they said clear liquids today only. I know broth and Popsicles are on the list for after cos they're considered clear liquids,. Think I can have them today??

Thanks everyone! One more week -
I know it's obviously soon for this, but I know some people to baby food instead of pureeing, cos I know I won't be able to blend chicken lol. Feel like I'm pregnant and nesting, I want to have everything ready, what kind of baby food is best? Kind and flavors?

I scheduled the date thru the bariatric center I've been working with before I got approved! Just to hold the spot for me -
My drs office faxed everything to my insurance a week ago today, and they told me they'd hear something in 7-10 days but my insurance is usually awesome about approving. Should I be worried that I haven't heard 'yes' yet, or relieved cos there hasn't been a 'no' yet? How soon did you guys all hear?

This makes me feel a little better about switching my choice from sleeve to bypass for fear of worsening my reflux! -
As long as insurance passes me I will be the 4th.
-
Feb 4!
-
I was going to do the sleeve gastrectomy but after learning that acid reflux can become unbearable after surgery I switched to the bypass. While the dumping syndrome and other things scare me, I'm peaceful with my decision and have a tentative date for February 4. Just have to wait for approval from insurance and ill be set.

So I have to lose 15 before insurance will approve me for surgery, and it's been a month and I've lost 10.5. I feel like a failure tho..been dieting so hard yet only that? Not to mention that this time of year is a very depressing time for me anyways..just feel like throwing the Xmas tree out and hiding under a blanket until February.. Ugh.

I mean I guess I shouldn't beat myself up cos only joined the program on November 5th and need to be in for atleast 3 months. I just thought this app would help me feel better but now it's freaking me out that so many people are getting denied for the littlest things! For atleast the past 3-4 years my primary care has been basically begging me to go to the bariatric center but what if that isn't enough? I'm just so sad..
