Everyone is nervous. Scared of the surgery itself. Possible pains/discomforts. And what if it fails. Been there. You'll be great. If you have any questions, feel free to hit me up anytime!

That is awesome!!!

Thank you Nychibberts! It is definitely awesome. I just came back from Florida. I took my daughter to Universal Studios, Disney World and Lego Land all in one week! No back pain! No hip pain! No swollen ankles! NOTHING! I was able to ride everything with her! What a blessing! Even the airplane ride to and from. I did not require a seatbelt extension and I didn't make the person next to me uncomfortable. Love It!

I am pre-op and diabetic. I would supplement the sweetness with Sweet N' Low or Splenda, if you want to cook something sweet.

try something like a quest bar. its sweet, taste like a treat(to me) and still has 20 grams of protein in a bar. its worth a shot. but like @terrydumont46 said, you should seek counseling.

thnx for the advice... yes i do need counseling. i will talk to my doctor about it.

glad stall ended! i see you've lost 98 lbs!!! OMG - keep up the good job - CONGRATS

Thank you!! I am so close to that 1st 100lbs! It is only the half way point for me while it is the finish line for others. I am so grateful to be where I am though. I lost a whole runway model.

The runway model thing made me laugh. Although that is kind of sad, to have to be that tall and skinny at the same time is just as bad as being obese. The majority of society doesn't look at it that way though. We all know that the majority of them have to work superhard to stay that thin.

Congrats on the loss of a whole runway model!

awesome Betty!!

thanks everyone! i'm loving my first fill, so far!

That's awesome!!

Yay!!! You're ready to rock and roll!:-)

whop whoop!Hope the first one is a success

Congrats!!!

Actually I've lost 179 lbs since 2006. So lost weight before I decided to have surgery last year. Surgery was the best gift I could give myself.

Heyyyyyyy...welcome back.

Thanks!!!

You are in ONEderland!! So happy for you!! I was at 202 this morning so I am hoping to be under 200 in a few days! Soo Exciting! CONGRATS!!!!

Thanks Crystal! You'll be in Onederland soon too!! We got this!

sorry to hear I sure hope you do well let me no ok

Thank you, will do

Awesome, great job!!! I want to start swimming too, but no where to go???

Thanks All!

I actually did speak with the Dr's office, they said they sent it all in, but have no worries, they will handle it for me What a relief!!!

I know that I had gone to WW's and got them to send me my records...they did except them for my insurance.

Great News ALL! I got my authorization letter today from the insurance company. WOW! This is really happening!

yeah I am tracking on the fitnesspal, I didn't know anything about those atkins shakes, they are good? I tried a shake thing from stop & shop yesterday and it wasn't bad, but the thickness is what I think gets me? I am going to definitely do the tuna thing, I love tuna, and any fish. I have to find something more than what I am doing, I get my water in no problem, its just the dang protein? Thanks for the help hun!!!

Atkins is creamy and you must do tiny sips to get it down. I can only do the Dark Chocolate Royale shake.

huh, I will look into them!!! I actually got a protein shake down last night, I used more milk than the 8 oz it calls for it made it less creamy, and I was able to get it down, so that was a plus!!!

Thanks Odesa, I always have wanted things now instead of being patient and letting things happen they way they are supposed to happen? I need to learn some patience?

Hehe, we all need to learn it. I have to keep reminding myself that it took me 23 years to get to where I was so I'll need more than a few weeks to get back to where I should be. Pretty common sense stuff but I too can be impatient so just say to yourself "Marathon" and not "Sprint"

I will do that!!! Thanks
