I'm hoping for 2 weeks. But I'm new here. Haven't even been approved yet. But I'm hopeful.

Welcome, welcome! I am still going through the process. I was lucky and found this site when I first began considering wls. So I have made a few friends along the way. Found out some really great information, and had a few laughs, (which we all need some days). Don't be shy, reach out, and read everything. There are some very good people here. Happy Holidays!

@@Flygirl123 Thank you, I sure hope so! I have to lose, but only a couple of pounds, so I don't drop below BMI 40 before I meet with the surgeon and try to qualify for this life saving and life changing surgery. I can lose weight. I know how. I just can't ever keep it off. I've lost the same 100 pounds probably 20 times in my lifetime. Only to gain it back over and over. I want off this roller coaster ride! All the best to you! Happy Holidays!

Something else I've noticed when I've been out shopping, are the folks buying Protein shakes, and mushy stuff. I think in my head....."that person has had wls!" And then I'm jealous because I haven't yet. I'll be at Sams Club with the hubs and observe what is in other people's baskets (Water bottles, Fage 0 calorie yogurt in bulk, egg beaters, apple sauce, sugar free popsicles and premier protein) and whisper to him...."I bet that person had wls....look how healthy he/she looks!" I don't know if they did or didn't, but I think it whenever I see something like that.

Update, after suffering on grilled chicken breasts and green Beans for a week, I lost 6 pounds. I think next weigh in will be more "appropriate" lol. I pledge to stop grazing! It was the dang grazing that shot my stupid weight up! Good Grief!!

Great news! Congrats!!

Today I had the worst day ever, but this was the best laugh I've had in a long time. I actually laughed till I cried! Don't apologize. I hope my meds are 1/2 as good as yours. So glad you're ok.

OMG! what kind of meds did they give this gal? lmao!!!

Omg. Had my last appt with pcp and I GAINED! I had to schedule another appt for end of the month. Living on chicken and green beans till rhe 29th. Gotta show a small loss. I just can't be denied because I had food funerals during my 6 month pcp visits! That will devastate me!! Prayers for a small loss. 5 pounds would be ok. Or 10.

I will have UHC PPO as of Jan 1, so I started the 6 month Dr supervised diet 6 months ago. Today was my last weigh in. I gained. Dang it! I scheduled another appt for the end of the month, and I will be eating chicken and green Beans twice a day to lose what I gained, so I can show a loss. Anyone know if UHC would deny me if I failed to lose in those 6 months? I'm in Kansas.

OMG OMG OMG!!! I am soooo excited for you!!!

So, I'm curious. How hard is it to inject yourself? Did you have someone else inject you or did you bite the bullet and inject yourself?

I got the sample pack from unjury, and I only liked the strawberry sorbet. Trust what everyone says about GENEPRO. I know I seem like I'm stalking you, and you probably think I work for Genepro, but I don't. But, you can't taste it at all. Honest!

you won't be sorry with the Genepro

MAN! they closed for the holiday? How dare they! Don't they know you are ready to get this party started? lol

I don't know about you, but I think I"m obsessed. lol

For crying out loud! I am o here more than FaceBook!! lol That's saying something!!! I have quit playing FB games because it interferes with me reading the BP forums. My a$$ is tired from sitting in front of my computer reading the BP forums. I just want to get this done so bad I can almost taste it!

@nairobi78 I have been to the free seminar at the Bariatric COE, I have done my sleep study, and been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, and am compliant with my c-pap. I have just completed my 6 months Dr supervised Diet, where I lost zilch, Now I am awaiting January 2, when my insurance kicks in, I will call and enroll that day in the bariatric program with UHC. What's next?

Order it at Amazon.com

Well...I WANT to be January 6th! Does that count? No? dang. (congrats to you though)

Plus.....PLUS.....you will likely not have the extra skin issues as someone who lost much faster would. I'd say you are in a GREAT place!!!

Oh my gosh. I hear that nearly everyone feels that way in the beginning. I can't speak from personal experience, but I'm pretty sure that soon others will chime in to share their experiences with you, and help you understand that you are not alone in your regrets. But, it is done. You can't undo it, so best to move onward, and do what you set out to do. Get thin and healthy. That's your ultimate goal, isn't it? It is mine. I'm sorry it has been hard for you, but try to have patience. You are so worth all the good things ahead of you, once you get past the bad stuff.

Drama just sux!

@anewbeginning12414 THANK YOU for letting all of us know right away that you are recovering nicely already! You made it to the other side...the healthy side, where food is to keep you alive, not to make you fat, um I mean fluffy. Best to you, and speedy recovery!

That has to feel great! The NSV's are what I'm so looking forward to. Clipping my toe nails, painting my toe nails, tying my shoes without having to hold my breath......and sitting comfortably in a booth. So very happy for you!!!
