meeee toooo!!!!!

no i havent but thats really close to my house. when do they meet? glad to have u as a buddy as well

keep ur eye on the prize my dear. its well worth it. their office has a stricter diet than most but its for our own safety.

How are you doing are u getting nervous? I personally know people that had surgery with ur dr... you're in good hands

Pretty good for the most part...getting through the liquid diet it's a little rough not horrible

My date as well

good luck thats right around the corner....im aug 9th. i see ur in the chicago area i am too in elmwood park. 847-532-9381

im getting mine done by his partner dr lutfi at st josephs

Me too...I'm on the bipolar roller coaster I'm excited but then am I doing the right thing...I keep plugging along so my subconscious knows it's the right thing lol

Good luck to u [emoji120]

Mine is 847-532-9381 I'm more of a texter... lol

Bariatric advantage has a program for 90 day supply free...it's called the recover program...they just sent mine. Then celebrate vitamins has their own program I signed up for..they send u vitamins every 90 days for a year from when u apply. I got those today

im on Instagram a lot. they have wls stories and they are very inspiring. i follow som fitness people that have done it on their own without surgery. i like to see what exercises and types of foods they eat to give me ideas. medically i am unable to lose weight on my own. i cut out all the junk food and sweets to get my sugars down and that worked. got my cholesterol and triglycerides in normal range. i look great on labs just not the scale. with all that hard work not a pound was shed. that could also be due to the meds and insulin im on. so i started the pre op last Monday and down 17 pounds. pretty much off my insulin i just watch it carefully. so i really need this surgery. i guess the key is to focus on what you want dont listen to unsolicited comments or advice and find a motivation. research as much as you can beforehand. there is a blog called milestogo.squarespace.com very good read. also www.muhealth.org/app/files/public/22/mbs-vertical.pdf ive done tons of research i dont mind sharing

No worries [emoji6]

If u go to ur profile it's called a ticker...they have 3 choices pick the one for pounds lost

First 3 days are rough...give ur loved ones a warning that u may not be too pleasant lol by the fourth day ur mood is pretty good ur still gonna feel hungry....stay occupied and drink lots of water...tomorrow starts my second week of this..surgery is August 9th

I'm scheduled for August 9th in Chicago at st Josephs hospital...been on the pre op liquid diet...not too horrible...the first 3 days my mood was irritable but I'm chill now lol. Would be nice to have buddies to compare notes or bounce ideas around [emoji4]
