one step closer/test results/paperwork



Recommended Posts

Today I went in for the results of my blood work, and to have the paperwork signed and faxed to my insurance to start Weight Watchers then meet with a surgeon and schedule my surgery are the next step. Its still unreal I'm way excited!!

My blood work wasn't too bad but not 100% good, sadly. My testosterone lvls are high, my thyroid lvls are high and my risk for heart related issues are high as well. My doctor has referred my to a thyroid doctor for everything. And she believes that these could be related to why I've gained all my pregnancy weight back so fast and can't seem to take it off. And why I've always been over weight my whole life which is kinda a relief to know but she isn't 100% sure which is why ill be seeing a thyroid specialist.

But my insurance paperwork has been signed and is being faxed as we speak yay!! I'll be calling my insurance tomorrow to talk about when I start my weight watchers and if ill be doing the full 6 months of not.

I am so excited guys. I have one more step then I will get banded even tho it'll take 6 months till I reach the next step its well worth it. I figure ill be banded by my 22nd birthday!!!

Also btw I lost 4lbs on my own in a week omg I've never been able to lose lbs on my own I'm so proud of myself I'm at 261.8 from 265.7 go me!!!

Congratulations and good luck!!! I hope you don't have to do the full 6 months of WW and are pleasantly surprised that you'll not only have your band but have begun losing weight with it by your 22nd birthday! You jumped in at a good time in your life sweetie! You have 3 quarters left to be smokin' hot! I'm jealous... :)

Thank you, I'm also hopping I won't have to do a full 6 months of WW, I'd be fine with doing 3 months or less. I'm happy I got an early start just mean ill have more time being happy, healthy and skinny lol.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
