Prayers. The pain meds and food/ water are a hard combo. Hang in there!!

Good luck Today!!!

Hang in there!!! It will come

Great thanks!! It's weird how different it all is.

I count boxes of butter in the store. It's pure fat. Pretty motivating when you see it. Congrats!!!!

Good for all of you. It's hard work and you are suppose to love yourself. We have all Loathed ourselves for so long we can be a little concededs. congrats!

I want the dumping syndrome as well. I want sweets to make me sick like bacon does now lol I gave up almost all pork I'm also hoping it helps with hunger. When I can control the hunger I can lose weight.

I am 40 and shrunk almost an inch. I'm so ticked. My BMI is now higher which is scarier. Ugh

Very happy for you!!

Wow. You go!! You look great. :-)

That's so great!! Good luck!!!!

Awesome!!!!

I do agree to be open and honest. However I'm not telling anyone. My hubby and BF is it. She knows because she has been through the surgery. My mom would freak out and others would tell people that I don't want to know. I am also new in my job so that's just to personal. I wish you the best of luck and if there are any doubters take them with you to an appointment. It helps reassure. :-).

Well that's UPMC for ya. Not making light but I'm at Magee as well with Dr McCloskey. They are notorious for confusion on the billing/ approval side but evidently you have WLS coverage or they won't have scheduled. They just need to review the documents. You should be just fine. Good luck to you!!! :-).

I'm so sorry to hear that. It's so frustrating. Was this your first weigh in or was it after losing weight on the 3/6 month diet?? I am keeping my fingers for you!!

Good for you! After my session yesterday wih the nutritionist, he said you have to be accountable and writing it down is the best way. I started today and it has kept me from snacking. Good luck!

This is what works for me. Last year I was having the same issue and MoM did nothing. I know my BF also recommeded Colace (softner) and most Dr. say it is none harmful and you can take it with RNY. Just check with your Dr.

OH Hope you feel better! I am sure you will be fine. :-)

OH I know!! I am scared about the whole process. I have spoken with my insurance liason but you still never know if they will 'decide to approve'. Thanks so much for the encouragement!!

I am a nervous wreck. Not sure why! lol It is my first official weigh in and life style class today. I see the surgeon on 9-4. I am excited too but so afraid this will not pan out. I have all of my hopes in this. I was in another meeting this week with my VERY THIN team/coworkers. I want to focus on my job and not how big I am the whole time. Anyway, I will let you know how it goes and what they provide me. I am going to UPMC MaGee Hosptial here in Pittsburgh. I have already call about my insurance and they said it would be covered if I follow the 3 month plan (Aetna POS II). We will see.... I hope the hospital does not make me go 6 months if I only need three. Fingers crossed!!!!

My BF had Dr Eid last year and everything went great with him as well.

You go!!! So awesome!!

Well, my food addiction has turned into a WLS addiction. I just read and read. But the thing that concerns me at this point is the fact I want to eat everything in sight. No because I am hungry but to have a funeral for food. I know very well I can eat most foods after the surgery but I have this obsession with never eating sugar, pasta, cookies, ice cream etc. again. They are my weakness, my Achilles heel. I can go months without them and BAM! I fall off the wagon and gain 20 pounds back. This is what scares me. I gain weight sooo easily. To me, this is my last chance. But with that being said, I think to be successful this time is to get help. I am not really depressed but have days when I am just miserable and my diet reflects it. Then I hate myself. That needs to stop. I am finally admitting to all of you that I indeed have a problem. I need help. I cannot do this alone. No more telling myself I am weak. So, I am looking forward to the psyche evaluation. I am going to ask for guidance down the road. I am going to attend the group sessions my hospital has as well. We will see how this all goes... :-)
