Congratz!

UPDATE: so I called my dr today to see if they had sent in the new referral for the surgery. They again told me I wasn't doing the right program and that I would need to do their weight watchers program to even qualify. I got really upset and had a good 10 min. Later in the day the first of the two nutritionist I talked called to let me know the surgery center/second nutritionist called about my weight to go over things. She seemed excited so it got my hopes up but I explained all that had been happening so she called my insurance to see what was going on and I guess the lady said it shouldn't be denied but we will see and also got a comment that it looks like I'm doing good on my own. So she also seemed a bit worried that why would deny it because I'm losing weight on my own. Now I feel like im doomed if I do or don't lose weight. I need this help. I don't want this body anymore I feel like I'm dragged threw the mud. The only good thing is I reached my first goal. I started at 352. My first goal was 330. I finally made it. -22 lbs. I don't feel like I lost 22lbs

I will take a photo the day I go into surgery. I have enough "before" photos to last a life time I don't drink soda and RARELY caffeine until it's naturally in tea I drink. And I do try to walk that much but that's my struggle. I have been working on it.

I hope all is well

Hello. Im 26 and a mom. I currently weigh 352 and I'm starting this journey towards gastric bypass and I have met with a dietitian. She submitted the paper march 2. But aside from the 2 week before and the two week after diets, I really don't know what all I need to do to be approved. I also known there is a pysch eval and a Class. But what else?

How are things going

I know this feeling. You have to remember it's "discipline is the difference of what you want right now and what you want the most"

I'm looking for a few more Fitbit friends to keep me motivated. I have a pretty sedentary life and I'm slowly fixing it. So far I think I get about 4-5k steps a day

That's awesome. Congratz

Hi I'm also from hemet and I hope you are still on this journey. I don't know who the surgeon is yet either

lol it's Vixian. And I believe she is in only of my workweek hustle challenges

I don't have a surgery date yet. But I'm 26 and a mother of one and married. I'd love more buddies as well.

Thank you I added you

I started my process on 3/2/17. So I'm not to far ahead of you. I am struggling with food log though. I also got a fit bit to monitor my movement and such so that has been a help. But I need to do the psych evaluation and a few more things. I'm so nervous and I choose bypass as well

I see. Well hopefully I can figure all this out. I'm so nervous still

I am but I don't like to give out that one personally sorry. I did link my email above if you wanna add me to fit bit

Oops I did see to forget to put my own email up there. It's vixian@icloud.com I'll accept anyone who adds me.

Awesome. What kind of things did they ask?

Thank you! I added you. Mine is Vixian@icloud.com

Yeah I just got a Fitbit yesterday. It's already showing me the wonders. I have reminders set as well and the sleep tracker is nice.

Thank you for taking time to respond to me. My son is very important to me and it a very big reason I'm wanting to get healthier. So far I'm on a diet of 1400-1500 calories, high fiber diet and protein diet. She said it will be 6 months from the time she submitted the paper work. Currently I try to stay about 1400. My insurance is Medi-cal/IEHP. I also know a lot of my family is afraid of me having the surgery. I'm scared but I'm very much set on getting it. Last night I made the mistake of eating too much after about two weeks of good eating and my stomach told me I made a mistake big time. So I've made a promise to myself to never go to any 'all you can eat' things ever again.
