I have not had my surgery yet. I am waiting to see if the insurance would mail me the authorization form. But I am very confused at how so many people like you have read and watched on YouTube talking about trying stuff that I was told are restricted for life. It makes me wonder why pay all this money for surgery if you are going to just risk it all? If you try this or that you are only going to try even more and before you know it you may find yourself in the same predicament as before the surgery. Im no doctor but please put yourself and your health first and follow the dr's order. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So yesterday I finished my all of the steps required by my insurance and now I am waiting for the Insurance to approve it. Not sure why I have to wait another month or so but I guess it is what it is. I'll keep y'all posted. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello Everyone, Today is my last weigh in and my stress test I don't think that I am at my starting weight. I actually think that I am about 7 pounds over. Honestly, I have been having B'organic Protein shakes. For Breakfast lunch I ll have the mix leaves with a packet of tuna and a slice of avocado. I may have grapes, strawberries or a cup of yogurt for snack and then I'll march back upstairs to my bed after work and stay there until the next day. And get up and start all over again. Will this impact my surgery? I am hoping to get a surgery date before I leave today. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello all and thanks for responding. It was just a pound gained. And I was told that the grapes should go and that I should eat plain yogurt with my strawberries. I should watch the portions of meat. He also told me that I may not be eating enough throughout the day. So long story short. I have to wait for them to send the paperwork to my insurance company.

You look wonderful. No shade but I had to zoom in to see if it was the same person. You look good! I have to go to my 5th weigh in and find out what else I have to do. I can't wait to get the surgery over with and start the weight loss process. I want to start doing yoga and other exercises. It is just so hard at my current weight.

Hello Everyone I am scheduled to do the sleeve in October. I am told that I will be required to do a two week liquid diet. So I decided yesterday I will try it out for two days to see if I could make it. Well I started out strong each day but by the end of each I had a headache and fell victim to the junk food. I ate Cookies thinking it wasn't a plate of solid food and it won't hurt. My question is what did you all have to keep you from getting headaches and feeling hungry?

Hello I am planning on October. I have to get the EKG and all of the other test competes and I guess they will schedule my surgery day. I really am excited but worried too there are so many people reporting that they have gained the weight back. I want to find a group in Atlanta for support. To exercise with.

Thanks to everyone for your responses. I just want to back track a a little. I have already cut out rice, bread, Pasta, oatmeal, grits, crackers. I have spoken to my nutritionist back in May. She gave me a list of dos and don'ts. I have eliminated something regularly. I just wanted to see how my body and MIND would handle the liquid for two weeks. I have not gotten over the cookie yet. I must admit. After reading the article that was posted I am determined to start to eliminate them too. I go to Panera regularly. I also substitute with a meal for an island impact from smoothie King. I eat two veggies and a meat. I eat tuna or salmon in the pack and boiled eggs. I am not 100% there yet but I am making small changes. I will take all of the advice because this is a life time change and I have to keep it creative Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey thanks for the tips. As I read the article. I was sinking down in my seat yelling guilty. I really have work to do. I am all for it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for replying. I am well aware that my future will change as it relates to my eating habits. I am working extremely hard to overcome this. This is why I started to try the liquid diet sooner than later. I am managing throughout the day. I just have to plan better for the day. I am actually on Pinterest now trying to get better ideas. Thanks again both of you and good luck. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am scheduled sometime in October. I am fearful of the flab as well. I just can't imagine walking around tucking my skin in my clothes. Is it really that bad? Have anyone attempted weight lifting after healing? Has it helped? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
