  1. I am on the "mushy" diet. I am down 21lbs. I Haven't loss a pound this week and I am ok with that. I am slowly telling family members about my surgery and some are supportive and some are not. I am ok with that too. I can't wait to start back at the gym, and swim in a pool. I am so excited for my new life. I am proud to have patience with this, but by summer my goal is to be a lot smaller, and able to ride on rides with my girls!
  2. Update!! Since I left the other surgeon, I have found a new surgeon. My surgery is already scheduled for Nov 11. I am just getting a few more test done per the new surgeon and I will be done! The new office is staff have been extremely nice and professional! I have heard nothing, but, but good things about this office! Fingers are crossed!

    WLS Cover-up Story

    Fpmr96 I say you do what you are comfortable with. I have lost 25 lbs and I haven't had my surgery yet and everyone at work keeps asking what are you doing, blah blah blah. I am comfortable to say I have made a lifestyle change and I work hard. I keep it very generic. You have the right to privacy and no one needs to know your business!

    21 Months Out Update!

    That was so powerful! Thanks for sharing and best of luck to you!
  5. Thanks Slimagainsoon! Not that it was my advice, but it's advice I can take with me for future references
  6. Sounds like it could be. I don't wanna scare you, and I understand your insurance situation, but it's definitely something you want to look at getting taken care if sooner than later. Hence as to why I had mine out when my child turned 6 weeks old. One other thing is I heard from a coworker that she had the same feeling and it was actually her liver. I would suggest to eat light, very light and as green as possible until you can see a dr.
  7. I was gonna ask about the gallbladder too. When I had my gallbladder attacks I was 7 months pregnant and I felt the same way. I couldn't eat anything heavy, greasy, or oddly enough salads and some other foods triggered the attacks. The pains would last 15-30 minutes or so. i would get nauseous, have sweats almost felt like how I would imagine a heart attack would feel. Pains going through my back and sides. B/c I was pregnant I just had to deal with it. Was your gall bladder checked prior to surgery? Also, I read online when having an attack (if this is the case) some foods that are good to help you feel better are green foods especially cucumbers and a "cabbage soup"
