Ashlee K

I sent him an email earlier today should have a response tomorrow

What I have been failing at is my choice of meals and not getting as much protein in ad i should be guess I should have been more clear sorry

I don't have to do all liquid diet I get to have one meal a day and it's suppose to be measured and all that that's where I have been failing I havnt been eating so well the meal I eat is the same as what my family is eating. The only day i have to go no food on is the day before surgery But I have lost weight and I don't drink anymore soda I cut out snacking except sugar free Popsicles those r one of my down falls

My BMI is now 39.6 it was 42 the doc requirements was that I lose 5-10 lds like I said I lost 14. I did what they asked just not in the way they asked me to do it.

On the plus side I have cut out soda and been eating better. I have lost 14 lbs I have been drinking the shakes but I have been eating full meals with the family

I k ow this has been on here serial times. So if there is a link please post it in comment... But what I'm looking for is a shopping list for when I get home from hospital. Also what all do I need to pack for the hospital .... Thank you sooooo much. P.s. 6 more days July 17th !!

I'm mainly needing a list of what u took to the hospital

I am having my sleeve done Jul.y 17th and I couldn't be any happier. My bmi is 40. I am 5'7 and 259ish pounds. I have never thought of myself as way too big I just knew that i was over weight and needed to do something. Well last night I had my most embarrassing moment and my big wake up call. I went to ride the scrambler and they could barley get the safety gate to latch because I was so big. I wanted to cry. I wanted to get off that ride and run away. But i didn't I stayed there with this bar pressing so hard against me I could barely breath. My boyfriend was looking at me and I could tell he knew what was going on. These two little skinny girls were sitting across from me just staring I knew what was going through there mind. I have always went to clothing stores and had size issues and booths at restaurants not being able to fit. But never like this. But on the plus side. I posted that I was having wls on Facebook because I am proud I'm changing my life. I seen some of my friends at the fair that seen my posting. They were all excited and wished me luck. It is so nice knowing that I have so much more support than I ever really knew. So my most embarrassing day did have some perks. It was bitter sweet. Like I said my surgery is July 17th. Since July is the month that we won our independence so many years ago I think that it is kind of a coincidence that I am celebrating my independence as well. Independence from that fat strings that have weighed me down for so long. I am ready to be the new me. AND You can bet my big a$$ that this time next year I will be riding those rides and I will fit with out any issues and Im ganna ride then till I get sick !!!!! Happy Independence Everyone

Thank u all for the positives I will hit wonderland some day.

My date is July 17th as well the count down begins I keep wondering if I'm doing the right thing than I think about all the things I will be able to do and I get so excited !!

I just came a cross this and was wondering what u all thought. Can we have these are they recommended. I think it would be a simple way to get all the protein in http://m.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3985655

Thanks guys I think they r a little high but I think they might be worth it seeing how every one says they have a hard time getting their protein down

Still looking for others that are or have had surgery in Herrin IL. I will be having surgery July 17 looking for battle buddies !!!! 17 more days

I am the day before u and I have the same doubts. Scared that when I wake up from surgery I will think " what the hell did I just do to myself". But than I think thousands of people in our same shoes have done this so can we. Good luck

Waiting for insurance approval but got my date from the doc today July 17th !!!!! So excited

I have the same insurance as u and no co morbids My doc wouldn't even let me in the weight loss program until my bmi was 40. But good luck

At the hospital waiting to get out under for my scope. One step closer !!

No I also have bcbs ppo I did not have to have a letter. I only needed my PCM to fill out a referral form

How did u feel after. We're u awake enough to go to work

I have not seen the NUT yet to know this. Why can you not drink while eating

What made u deside band vs sleeve I have heard so many scary things about the band
