First Appointment Tomorrow...excited And Nervous!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I got a call just 7 days after submitting my application and I have been approved to start the UTMB surgical weight loss program. I have my first appt in the morning to see a nutritionist and then a nurse practioner appt. I am super excited and nervous all the same. I had to attend a seminar class this past saturday and it was very informative. I learned that I will need to attempt a 5 to 10 percent weight loss pre surgery. I hope I can achieve this requirment. If anyone has any advise for my nervousness I will welcome it. Have a great night all of you

Congratulations on being approved to start! You can do this, but nervousness is all apart of it. This is a life changing process and everyone gets nervous about change. Keep your eye's on the prize, improved health. Research everything you can about LB and this forum is a good place to start.

Good luck on your journey!

The unknown is a guarentee for nerves to kick in. The more you leave both here and in the real world with your medical team, the calmer you will become.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
