Wow....that's crazy!!!

It is so frustrating. Maybe because we are just anxious...like being behind a slow car on the interstate when you're in a hurry. Im doing my best to breath deeply....and try to start dieting seriously while doing some sort of exercise. Maybe this will keep me calm! Lol

For me it was. It was the best sleep I ever had and I never knew they did anything to me. Piece of cake...

Thanks Angel, I've got to use this time to get my head in the game. Im struggling to focus. Gonna get in an exercise class to see if it helps me focus.

I need encouragement!!!! Nurse just said my surgery won't be until probably November. Surgeon is already booked thru October. Im sad. Now I need to start eating right and start exercising! I can at least try to start losing weight while I wait! Right????

Good luck. I wish you the best

Good luck. I wish you the best

I recently moved to Florida so Im going to the ymca to find a class so I can get back to it. Praying for an october rny date. Thx

Cupcake, I do water aerobics too. Im pre op and anxiously waiting to get a surgery date. Its good to know that water aerobics helps. I will be calling on you for tips

We should all be going about the same time. Im very excited....ready to start losing for sure!!!

Way to go...I can't wait to start my journey.

So doc office just called and said blood tests came back positive for h pylori? She said not to be alarmed. They will treat it for 10 days with antibiotic. I have no symptoms of any ulcers or anything. Should I be alarmed? Pharmacy didn't have the meds. Had to be ordered pls ins wont cover it all. I have to pay $189. Noooooo. They still call doc tomorrow for a generic maybe? Omg. Sooo close but here comes the drama. I pray all is ok.

Im one step closer to my rny. Psych eval today. Endoscopy tomorrow. Last nut appt sept 13 and Im done. Yeah!!! I can feel surgery on the horizon for October!!! Not nervous or anything. My plan is to exactly follow doctor's orders and pray for no complications!

39lbs in 6 weeks???? I pray Im as lucky. That's awesome

I think I will be in October too. Completed all my requirements this month then submitting to insurance. Im very excited and not nervous at all.

86lbs is amazing since June. Wow....I want all of your advice. Way to go

We should be having surgery about the same time. Let's keep inn touch. Thanks for the reality check comment. Its really real now...

I pray this doesn't offend anyone because its not my intention. We went to dinner after church and I watched an oversized woman (much bigger than me) wolf down her food. As I watched I remembered everything that Im learning in nutrition class....slow down and eat slower....enjoy the taste of your food, etc. She was literally swallowing her food without chewing and I thought to myself...is that me? Do people watch me eat like that? Do I eat fast? Do I swallow my food without chewing? All of it became so real to me for the first time I think. I couldn't even eat my own food. She looked totally out of control. I felt like I could be watching myself. From that moment on I've vowed to be totally in control of what I put in my mouth. As Im preparing for RNY, Im going to start adopting better habits and teaching myself all the important things that I know I still have to master for the successful use of my tool. I pray everyday that I can make the necessary changes in habit for a successful change to a healthy lifestyle. My reality has been checked!!!!
