I feel most of my success was before surgery. Now it's a struggle

Hey y'all! I'm Alicia from Chattanooga. I'm hoping to get sleeved soon since BlueCross is finally covering bariatrics in 2013. I plan to have surgery at Centennial in Nashville but I haven't picked a doc yet. I've done the seminar and started trying to shed some pounds already. I'm planning to get the psych eval over with in the next 2wks...and whatever other hoops I need to jump thru to get this done ASAP. Wish me luck!

I'm in Dickson' date=' about 37 miles west of Nashville. I am also in the Centennial program. Dr. Houston is my doctor. I am hoping to get sleeved in March. I am so nervous.[/quote']

I was scared to death. I would do it over a million times now. Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing!!

after surgeryt post op diet is 2weeks liquid' date=' then 2 weeks full liquids and then onto a puree stadege. it is one of the strictist diets I have seen post op but they know what they are talking about! Im in smyrna btw[/quote']

My post op was very similar. It was difficult to maintain but I did it. I'm on regular meals now and doing great. I'm down 56 pounds since day of surgery. Size 8 pants and a medium top makes every shopping trip fun but feeling like a million bucks makes everything worth while. I barely remember the struggles!!

It's been quiet here lately. How's everyone doing? Things are going positively for me. I hope for all of you as well.

Thanks Ronda and Katsmeow! I am 9 days away from moving to MTSU, really excited and pretty nervous!

Congrats Douglas!

As far as how I'm getting along personally, I've got to do a couple more monthly doctor supervised weight loss visits, and a bunch of paperwork, but I'm hoping to get all of that done by March/April timeframe. And *crosses fingers* hopefully have the surgery in the summer before summer classes start. Hope everyone else is doing well!

Good news is, even though I didn't follow diet over Christmas, I made good enough choices that I didn't gain, either! Must've not blown the psych eval because office called and said they got it and when I finished my 3 month plan this month and have my second pre op visit with Dr., next month, everything goes for insurance approval. Crossing fingers for March.

So glad to see everyone doing well!
