Most times it is a requirement that insurance companies have. And what I have read surgeons like to see you are commited to the changes that have to be made after surgery. I have read in research if the doc tells you to lose you have to lose no way around it

I feel same way that I am subconsciously self sabotaging myself. My biggest fear is going through all this and either I her denied or husband will get laid off work before I can have surgery. I did do a good thing for myself and quit smoking in July just to have gained 7 pounds at weigh in in August. Now was told to lose 5 pounds before next weigh in and so that stresses me out even more. And what do most want to do when stressed? EAT!! No matter what I do I feel I can't do it. I have tried waking up doing a all liquid diet to help but after a couple hours I feel my sugar dropping and I get like a cold sweat confused shaky so it scares me so bad I eat. I feel defeated from all this over 5 pounds I just want to start smoking again till after this months weigh in. But I'm not going to gotta have will power on this at least

Wish I could help you out on this one but unfortunately I haven't had my surgery yet. Sigh.....

My3 were you limited on how much SF jello a day?

Melonie what does your diet consist of? I too have to lose weight in 17 days and I am gaining instead of losing.

You all should start a October forum like they did for September. I'm hoping I will be getting surgery in November. So still away to go

Good luck belle hopefully you will get a fast approval

Welcome welcome welcome!!!

Not that long at all!!

Congrats!!! By the way lol

How long did you have to wait for approval?

I plan to go to the new olive garden that is opening in October as my celebration dinner.

Glad to see you safely out of surgery. Hope you have a quick recovery and look forward to reading about your progress

Wow Jane didn't know you were so close

I can't wait to be able to keep up with my 2 almost 3 year old grandbaby. December 2013 we are taking her to Disney for her 4th birthday

Good luck Juditha will be thinking of you. Update as soon as your able

I would wait till necessary if you lose to much you can be denied surgery just as if you gain you can be denied. I drink 1-2 protein drinks a day. I bought a big tub of vanilla cream whey protein isolate and mid one scoop with 8 ounces of 1% milk. Are you already through your monthly weigh ins?

I know that through research you can't "cheat " with the rny like you can with the sleeve and lap band

I started to try a liquid diet but I get maybe half way through the day and my sugar drops. I guess I am hypoglycemic. I am going to mention this to doc at next appointment. I know I will have to do a one week liquid diet week before surgery. I would like to know if doing the liquid diet how much are you allowed a day? Like can I have for example 5 cups of broth a day etc...

Hello and welcome amc. I am going through exactly the same thing right now. Started in April and was put on the 1500 Cal diet and excercise 3 times a week and resistant bands 2 times a week. I have completed everything except psych evaluation which is on October 3rd. At my weigh in in May I had lost 10 pounds ( mu thyroid meds were changed then too) in June I had lost another 3 pounds and was told slow down on the losing. Doctor told me if I lost 40 pounds he would not do surgery. Nut told me to eat what family eats and do nothing drastic. So in July I quit smoking and at weigh in in August I had gained 7 pounds and since it has cooled down I haven't went swimming since July and so excercising has slowed way down. Now I have to lose at least 5 pounds was told by the 24th. Which I am so stressed out about it and so scared that if I don't I will be refused to have this surgery forever

It is really tough. I know so far this evening I am doing pretty good except for the 1 cup of no kernel cheese puffs. So was about 80 calorie

Congrats!!! I am hoping I will have surgery in November. But I still have 2 more months of weigh ins September24 and last appointment with surgeon October 23. Then they will submit info to insurance company.

Good luck!!

Awesome big don!!

Wow!!!! Wonderful crystal!!
