Thanks,me to. The calendar isnt that full. I can start my fast on the 3rd of oct and have the 17th for surgery date. Im so ready. It feels like this process has taken along time but really and truthfully, we need those nutrition sessions, the support group meetings, and this time to get our minds together and set for this life change. Even though you'll have the surgery, its still up to us to learn what not to eat. -

Antidepressants post op?
ppressey24 replied to lexiemustang's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Im on Cymbalta which is great also for fibromyalgia, and depression. I dont think i could go on without it. Ive had some serious depression once i became disabled from a fall on the job. 18yrs of being a flight attendant and 1 day of bad turbulence which i hit the top of the plane because i was up and broke my back. Depression isnt anything to play with but once you get on the right medicine, you should start feeling much better Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App -
How to start the process
ppressey24 replied to cluelessgastricgirl's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I didnt call my insurance. I went to my primary care dr and asked if she thought i was a candidate for the surgery because of my arthritis in the back and knees, previous back and knee surgeries. She said yes and referred me to the dr. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App -

My story. Post op day 8 VSG
ppressey24 replied to txvsg's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Heck, my dr seems to be harder than anyone else. His is 3 weeks everything. And a 14 day fast. Ive seen some people didnt have to fast, ive seen 10 days, but hardly no 14 day. Im going to have to lock myself in a closet when i start this fast in a couple of weeks. Did anyone have a feast before fasting? I wanna go to my favorite restaurant and eat and have a couple of martinis, and have a devilish dessert. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App -
Just make a list of questions so that you can ask what to expect during these next 6 months. Mine showed me which apps help count calories because youre gonna be on a 1500 calorie plan. 64oz of Water a day which could also be gatorate, propel, Protein drinks and she should show you which 1's to buy and what not to buy. I just had my last appointment with her before i start my 14 day fast.ill be praying for you Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Ivejust got my surgery date, sept 7th and im so excited. I was always 145lbs because i was a flight attendant for 18yrs. Once i had back surgery, and they started with rhe steriods, i ballooned up to 288lbs and couldnt get it off alone. My goal weight isnt to be that small again, but i would like to be in a 8-10 again. Currently i weigh 288lbs. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App Thank you. I see the nutritionist again on thursday for my evaluation and then she'll tell me if i need to do the 10day fast or how many days. I really hope its not 10 days....ill be a monster. Did you have to do the fast, and if so what helped you get theough it Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

ppressey24 replied to JohnGraySmiley's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
They should be able to allow you to order ofd the kids menu or if they dont then just ask for a togo box when you order, that way you can just put your food in the box and only leave out what youre going to eat Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App -
