My First Appointment Is August 16Th



Recommended Posts

I'm 31, 330, 5'10'' and am ready for change.

in an emotional over eater, so I'm curious on what is going to happen when i try to maintain.

i have united healthcare and a co-worker had it done a few years ago and said she only had two appointments before setting a surgery date. I've been readying a lot about a 6 months diet waiting period, so we will see.

only issue I'm running into is telling the guy I've been dating for 9 months. I'm concerned he'll judge me. but then again, I'm aware of my crazy insecurities.

anyone else just starting?

Im currently on my 4th month of the 7 month dr supervised diet that my insurance requires. I didn't have a difficult time telling my husband i wanted to have this surgery but i had a hard time convincing him that i had done all i could do on my own. I wish you well on your journey and if he loves you he will understand that you are doing this for your health.

My 1st appointment is on the same day. I'm super EXCITED and ready for this. I most worry about the 6 month diet, hopefully its 3 for me. I hope everything goes well for you. Its almost time to take that first step toward a permanent healthy lifestyle. :)

      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.
