Sorry, I read it wrong lol You should tell your OB, incase your baby isn't growing as fast .

YES!!! Please tell them. You risk the loss of your baby. This can wait. You baby's life can not

@@Lani789 That is a great feeling huh? Your doing awesome!

My friend told me tonight I should write a letter to each of my kids telling them things I want them to remember me by incase something g happens, because they won't remember me ( they are 2 and 3 1/2) I am a total wreck now. I feel like I am vain and selfish because of what she said. The last thing I want is to jeopardize my life and leave my children with out a mother and my fiancé alone to bring up our children alone. I know the risks are small, but still there. I really need some advise Please

Jersrose43- I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mum when you were so young. I will take your advise, I will write both of them letters, and often. Because you are right, we never know. My biggest fear since I became a mom is to die and my children not remember me. The thought of it kills me inside. So when my friend said that to me ,it hit a spot inside that struck fear. I will write them letters often now. Your words give me a sense of peace actually. I appreciate it a lot

Amper02-wow, nice Mother in law lol Everything went ok though?

Thank you Steph, She didn't console me, I didn't let her know it bothered me. I hope she was being concerned when she said it. But, I guess that's the support I get from her. I have people who support me, but don't know the struggle I've gone through since I was a kid with obesity

Thank you for all your advise. I started double thinking evertthing

I'm glad I saw your post. I also have two children 2 and 3 1/2 years old. My friend at work today told me to write things down I want my children to know, because if anything happens to me they won't remember me. Now I feel lost and super sad about this. I have my date 12/2, but now I feel completely horrible about it because of what she said. How did you deal with people and there comments?

That is amazing! Congratulations on hitting your first goal! Keep up the good work

Wow, 3 of us with the 12/2 date! We're triplets lol

@@BigGirlPanties I do have short term disability at work. I called today to start the process. I'm just worried because this is " elective" surgery. I wonder if that makes a difference or not. I do have to check back with her tomorrow to see if she figured out how much time I have left

@@bobbyswife You are awesome! I wish I could be so structured lol That's great, you reminded me I have to cut my caffeine out, gradually. Best of luck to you

Can I buy any kind of protein shakes? Or does it have to be specifically for bariatric patients? Because I love most kinds, RAW Vegan is my fav. But, I want to do what is right. Also To stock up before surgery

I told HR on Friday. She said i may not any FMLA time left ( I was out for a month earlier this year and then didn't return full time immediately ) But she said I have to take care of myself first. But, I think I have 4 weeks. Oh well, I'm still doing it lol

Torrid, though I love their clothes , are expensive.

2bethin11- I'm so sorry to hear about your job loss. What star are you in? I am in NH and the hospitals around here have quite a few open positions. How long were you out of work for? My Dr said 5 weeks, due to the strenuous job. Does that sound right?

I want a ticket too lol How would I get one?

Awesome!!! Congratulations!!!

That is awesome!!! I know right, doesn't seem real!

I am excited to....... Hopefully have my lower joint pain disappear. It's been far to many years I've Been in pain related to my weight

I got my approval today. My mother and sister inlaw are going to help me for the first 2 weeks. Hanks goodness!! Lol

I have my date of dec 2 and was wondering how people handle taking care of small children so soon after surgery. I won't have a lot of help. My children are 2 and 3 1/2. I don't think they will understand why I can't pick them up Any advise ?

I got my approval today!!!!!! I am super stoked and can't wait!! Yes 2 week lover shrinkage diet and then Sleeve-a-roonie dec 2!!!

Gosh, it's only been like 4 business days ( I'm sure the Decision makers don't work weekend) and I want to know now! Lol My surgeon said 5-10 days, but I've read here it's much sooner. Yaaaaa! I'm going bananas lol
