Thank you for your response. He has always been supportive,but only when he HAS to,like when I'm pregnant or healing from a c-section. When there is no one else to help I guess he has to. As far as supporting me on diets. HA-JOKE

Than you Lissa! He doesn't think I need the surgery to lose weight. According to him,If I try hard enough,I can lose it on my own. Don't know if he has completely missed the last 6 years of our lives together that have consisted of me either being pregnant or yo-yo dieting!! :/

Thank you for your support. I have heard ppl tell me it will be fine. I just feel like I have let myself and my surgeon down. Tomorrow is a new,better day.

Thank you. I am trying to talk to him,it's like talking to a brick wall. At the last minute,he doesn't want me doing the surgery?? SO confused right now,this is ridiculous! The only support I have is here! WOW

WOW,congrats Debbie!!! =)) That sounds so awesome!! I can't wait to be in a 16-18!!

Ohhh I so needed to read all these funny and inspiring comments! Love this thread! =) I am in 24's right now BUT they are getting loose since being on my pre-op diet! Woo hoo! I am tired of wearin sweats and t shirts and hiding from all the pics. I too am always taking pics of my hubs with the kids bc I am too embarrassed to be in the pics. Cannot wait to be down into some smaller sizes so I can shop comfortably. I actually think I forgot how to shop for myself,its crazy! The only clothes I buy are baby and husband clothing! Can't wait to buy a bra from Victoria's Secret,ha! =))

Girl congrats!! I am getting sleeved on Wednesday the 25th! 5 days now and getting nervous!

Guess who's getting sleeved January 25th?!?! THIS girl<-----Woot! Insurance approved my sleeve on the 20th of December!!!!! I am so excited! I was originally instructed to start my pre-op diet on the 11th of January,but since I already lost 10 pounds they told me not to start till the 18th of January. SO SO SO excited! I haven't been on in a while bc I have been dealing with the health issues of my 2 yr old but I am back now and so excited to share my journey with you all! Any tips on how to be successful at the pre op diet? Gettin a lil jittery now,not scared of the pain,I survived 3 C-sections....Just afraid of not waking up AND afraid of vomiting afterwards and injuring my staple line!! ((HUGS)) to you all! Who else is a January sleever?????

OMG are you serious?!?! We should so keep in touch!!! AHHH I'm getting so excited/nervous! The pre=op diet is killing me!!!!! =))

Thank you!!! Finally got my date of January 25th!! SUPER stoked!

AHHH!!! 2 days before me!!!! =)) 22 lbs is outstanding,you are strong to have been on the pre op diet since Dec!

THANK YOU!!!!

THANK YOU! Hope you get a Jan date too!!

Thank you ladies!

So,I had my dietician appt yesterday. I loved it,it was very educational. =) I was nervous for nothing at all! I went in and she weighed me and checked how tall I am. I have lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks from cutting out all drinks but water and protein shakes,and lowering my carb intake-ALOT. =) I have one more pound to lose as the 10 lb requirement for my surgery!!!! YEAAHHH!!! =))) They said I can lose down to 235 before surgery (I started at 268,am now 259) and still qualify so I'm not gonna stop I'm too excited. =) So she said I was very enthusiastic and educated on the sleeve (thank you vst!!) and seemed to be the perfect candidate for it. Now I just have to take my 4 hour nutrition class and go to my psych eval on the 7th then they will send off for insurance approval!!! My surgery will either be on December 29 or one of the 1st days in January. Yipppeee. I am beyond excited. I hope I heal at least a little before my twins' first birthdays on January 10th so I can have fun with them on their big day. =)

GOOD LUCK!!

That does sound odd,but awesome at the same time! lol. I'm not sleeved yet by the way so no advice here,sorry!! =(

Hi everyone! So,I attended my seminar on the 10th. The next morning was my initial consult so I got that taken care of. I have everything taken care of now but my sleep study,psych eval,and nut eval. I know what to expect from pretty much everything but the dietician!!! I am so freaking out bc I don't want to mess anything up! So,my question to you all is:What happened at your Nut Eval??? Like what did they ask and what got you cleared? :bigear: Thanks a bunch! And sorry I haven't posted or replied to any posts in forever. Major appts for me and my kiddos lately. Been super busy but can't wait to surf the forums and see how everyone is doing!!!

Thank you all. Unfortunately,my Nutritionist appt was rescheduled out to the 28th bc the dietician is going on a break for Thanksgiving. =(( It will come soon enough. I can say that now I am quite a bit more comfortable with the appt since all of the great insight I've gotten from you all. =) Thank you!

Ok thank you all so much!!!! I also recieved a food journal to write in 24 hours before the appt. I hope he/she goes over the protein thing with me as well. I am getting super excited now and nervous at the same time. My surgeons office said I will have the surgery sometime in January. I am hoping to get that date backed up into December as my twins turn one in the beginning of January-I really don't wanna be healing from surgery on my princesses birthdays!!
