Also trying to lose the weight I regained since starting his journey is going to be ridiculous. I wanted to be 275-270 before surgery. I got down to 285 in a few months and now I'm back up to 294. I still kept many of the basics such as eating 4 ounces protein, lots of water, no soda, trying to walk (I hurt my back really bad in December and can't really walk all that much because I have a neurological condition called drop foot that I'm dealing with.) and cut out most carbs and sugar. I've been doing this since September. And like I said lost weight at first. It seemed to all go downhill after I had that bad kidney infection in November and then stopped exercising all in December through February.

I had my gallbladder taken out in 2013 and my surgery is in May so we'll see.

What vitamins are you using?

Did you have a catheter?

When you woke up did they immediately start shoving fluids down your throat?

Molly did you have a pain pump in the hospital?

Wow molly. I too was surprised I got a date in early May. When she called to schedule I was thinking it would be in July or something. I'm kinda glad I didn't know they submitted to insurance and I was waiting to be approved lol. I would have been a nervous wreck!!

Yeah I have all that scheduled. I was already authorized for surgery.

I just got the call my surgery is May 10th. I didn't even know they submitted it to insurance. Woooooo.

I met with my sleep doctor and she said she wont clear me for surgery for 3 months!! She wants me to use my sleep machine that long!! I pick it up next thursday in tri county. UC WLS said 30 days so I don't know. And if they are already scheduling out 2 months I'm doomed. I'm just so frustrated.

Yay bloomer!!!

I'm still here. I had my sleep study last week and now I see the sleep doctor next Thursday to get my c-pap. Then I meet with Ivan to coordinate with my doctors for my medications and I'm under the impression after 30 days on c-pap I can get a date of I'm approved.

Glad you're doing well!

Thinking of you molly on your surgery day. My sleep study is Thursday then I see the sleep doctor on March 3rd, wear the CPAP for 30 days and then I'm cleared for surgery. Wooo.

I mean I get that from my husband too. "*IF* you get the surgery this and *IF* you get the surgery that." It's gonna happen. I may be delayed a bit due to health problems... but it's happening! I think that's how he copes with it.

Yaaaaaay Molly!! I unfortunately am still on pause with my back, kidney and sleep apnea problems. It's been.... annoying.

I don't remember what I was but I'm 293 today. Thanks.

3rd back surgery coming up for me. Right now I can't walk without a walker. Probably going to get fired at work due to missing too many days. I was in the hospital a month ago for kidney failure. Joy. Wish I had short term disability insurance.

Wow that's totally crazy they can't make a decision on the first two you did! Did you ask why they can't? That's horrible they're making you do this again. I'd be mad too!!! What made you fall in the shower!? Did you lose your balance or pass out? Are you aright? When were you planning on getting surgery? I have back problems and nerve damage in my leg from a spine injury in a car accident. I was supposed to have surgery 11/23 but the sleep study people dragged their feet. No I'm looking for late February if I can get this lab test done and fitted for my c pap soon.

I always say "fück you and the horse you rode in on"!!!!!

Aren't you supposed to eat every 3 or so hours anyway? That's what my surgeon told me.

When I have to pack a shake I get a ready made shake (I use premiere protein) and freeze it over night. By the time I get to drink it its thawed most of the way.

My scale broke at home. I was weighed at the hospital yesterday and was 301 but I just don't believe that number. I kinda wanted to puke.

Still waiting for my lab sleep study. My insurance wants ANOTHER home study even though I've a ready done two. I'm about to just self pay the sleep study and get it over with. I fell in the shower yesterday and really jacked up my back some more. I pulled the curtain rod down with me and tore up the wall. It was pretty dramatic.

I'm at the DMV renewing my expired drivers license. After surgery did you guys change your drivers license?
