Glad to see all you post opers doing well. Keep that losers bench warm for me!!

I can't tell the difference in taste. I used Folgers classic blend and just switched to decaf classic blend.

Caffeine is a appetite stimulate as well as a diuretic. With our surgery it is highly important for us to stay hydrated. That is what my surgeon says he mentioned nothing about ulcers but I know smoking can cause ulcers so that is a big no no.

I changed to decaf and dont mind it. Every once in awhile I will drink regular it is a big inconvenience because hubby refuses to drink decaf. Just wish I could find a sweetener or get use to no sweetener

I sure hope today is your day worm!!

Wtg!!!

Your so welcome!!

Most bypass patients require gall bladder removal too. Some get it during surgery some a few months after. My surgeon already said that he prefers to do it after

Well right now well actually since high school many moons ago I wear a 42D. My wweight is spread out evenly over my body just over the past 5 years has it really started showing more standing sideways then front ways

It is completely normal. Try taking miralax it does take a couple days to work or you can use suppositories too

I am curious about the boob loss. I had these big mamma jammas before I was overweight. So I hope I don't lose to much of them

Nice job!!! I will be on loser bench with you soon so keep my seat warm over there!!

Good luck you can do it!! I am lucky that I will only have to do 5 days before surgery

So this morning I get a call from insurance coordinator at surgeons office. I was half a sleep as I was up till 4 am with grandbaby. But she called to let me know everything was sent to insurance for approval. Well a few hours later after I woke up it dawned on me I had questions to ask her!! So I called her and really nothing was answered. So about an hour ago I called my insurance to make sure they received everything and they said they were just waiting for surgeons office to provide a date. So I called coordinator back and told her what they said and she said yes she just got the approval from them and wanted to know which date I wanted the 29th or 31st. THE 29TH OF COURSE I SAID!!! So I go the 23rd for pre op and to register at hospital

I wish you could call and find out.

I know you all have been there but I am so happy I could cry. Cry of happiness and relief that I no longer have to wait!! And since I don't have to do anymore weigh ins and I don't have to go tomorrow now I ATE DINNER!! LOL

Its official!!! I am a October member!!! Surgery October 29th Pre op October 23 as well as liquid diet!!!! Wahoooo!!!!

I did my supervised weight loss with the surgeon not my pcp. Because I live an hour away so the test he wanted done he had me get my pcp to schedule and order them. Started in April and had last weigh in October 4th. Now just waiting for insurance approval

I am so down today. I don't know what's wrong with me but it seems the longer I am having to wait the more it is getting harder and harder to stay in this diet. My brain tells me one thing and my heart is with my brain but my stomach has a mind and heart of its own right now. I know I have done really well so far but I am feeling guilty over anything I eat now. Its like I have used all my will power on the past 7 months but its getting harder and harder. I am not sure when I will have a surgery date and I know now more then ever I NEED THIS TOOL!! I am not strong enough to do it on my own. If I can't make it through one day then how can I make it when I do get in a pre surgery liquid diet? Sorry for venting!! Tomorrow I want to just stay in my room away from the kitchen!!!

Good luck!!!! Hope you all have a fast and speedy recovery
