How Did You Set Your Goal Weight?
Mickie Vest replied to Raven21's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm still pre-op but I already have a goal weight of 115. That is what I've weighed most of my teen and adult life and I'm comfortable there. I'm 5'1" currently 208. -
Have you tried a consignment shop or a thrift store like Goodwill. I can usually find nice name brand clothes at my local thrift store for a fraction of the price of new.

I Cannot Wait To Wear_______(Fill In)
Mickie Vest replied to Diamondeyed's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I always have had large calves so I never could wear knee high boots off the rack, even as a teen. I envy anyone who can. -
I Cannot Wait To Wear_______(Fill In)
Mickie Vest replied to Diamondeyed's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
One day I was cleaning out a closet in the spare bedroom and I found a pair of small jeans. I asked my daughter if they were my granddaughter's to which she replied "Mom, those are yours". I was shocked at how small I used to be and how big I'd become. I want to fit into those jeans again (size 8 for those wondering). -
I have a facebook account. Feel free to add me.

I'm waiting on insurance approval. I'm very impatient as I want the surgery in December so I don't have to go to a second approval with another insurance company.

You Know You've Been On Liquid Protein Too Long, When:
Mickie Vest replied to Strangefruit's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
My surgery date may be in mid December if my approval comes through so I'll miss all the Christmas goodies. Even something okay like turkey. But it is so worth it. -
Quitting Smoking..
Mickie Vest replied to tiffy0485's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just quit cold turkey and it has been a week for me. Just one day when I ran out of cigarettes I decided I didn't want to screw with it anymore. I quit before twice and picked it back up for varying reasons. This time I hope it's for good but I live with 2 smokers so it is going to be tough. -
Hi new person!

Congrats on the approval! -
I'm still cigarette free. I think it has been a week since I've had a cigarette. My NUT was really pleased with the fact I quit.

I'm still pre-op and I'm taking an oral B12 supplement. Is there a reason you are getting the B12 injections? -

Organ Shifting?
Mickie Vest replied to meredith004's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had this feeling when I had my tubes tied. Every time I rolled from side to side it felt like all my internal organs were resettling. I've not had surgery yet but I expect to have the same feeling. -
What's Your New Addiction?
Mickie Vest replied to SkinnyMinnie2Be's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've given up coffee, cigarettes and sweets. I don't know what will be my new addiction. I just hope it isn't shopping! I don't have the money!! -

Curious? Any One In Cincinnati?
Mickie Vest replied to zebrasprinkles's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was told maybe a surgery date of December. I hope so because I'll be changing Medicare Advantage Plans so my insurance will be different in January. I have started drinking protein shakes in preparation for my pre op and post op diets. Glad to hear everyone is doing well. -
2 Week Pre-Op Diet - I Call Bullsh**t
Mickie Vest replied to cmf1267's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just quit smoking so I'm struggling not to gain weight by going on a modified pre op diet. Once I get to my real pre op diet it will be a piece of cake. Ha. -

I have to agree with Gene. I've had a couple of sleep studies for apnea one my original diagnosis and the 2nd to recheck my pressure and get a new machine.
