You're right about that I'm ready for my new life as well. I've done all the little things too, excited for my psych eval and quick question should I wait for them to send me for a EKG because if its a walk in I was thinking of getting it done before I head home after my psych eval appt. next month whether they tell me or not :). I'm so ready to climb out of this body I've been trapped in for over 17yrs now.

Your policy should state how much of a copay hospitalization is. You will also get a letter in the mail telling you how much it is and how you can pay

I did EKG before my psych eval. I went to do my lab work and them went to the cardiology dept and had my EKG done. The EKG process was super fast, I was in and out within 10 minutes.

I CANNOT LOSE THIS WEIGHT!!! I'm driving myself crazy over this! I'm at 214 and need to be at 213! Sound simple enough, but I can't get it off! I've fasted.. I've liquid dieted... I've spent hours upon hours of cardio at the gym...I'm drinking Water like never before... I've even resorted to Water pills and laxatives... No help at all... I just don't get it... I'm SO FRUSTRATED!!!

Hi Kimi...I know how you how u feel. If you want try this for 2-3 days Protein shake for Breakfast Water throughout the day (all 64 oz or more) and a salad for dinner (any way you want) preferably before 8pm. I did it and lost 6lbs. Good luck!

Kimi, maybe you need to increase your calories for a few days? Sounds like you're being pretty strict trying to get that last lb off. I know you must be so frustrated but you're going to make it. A few days longer won't matter once you finally reach your goal. You have a whole life ahead of you.

Thanks for the support!!! I think I'll do my Protein shake for dinner and my normal hour of cardio at the gym tonight... Thinking I sit in the steam room with layers I might be able to get out some of the Water weight. I just want to get this last pound off so I can get my dang surgery date!!! Lol!

STILL at 214! This mornings weigh in was 214.2... TWO OUNCES... Ughhh... I emailed my surgeon asking her for suggestions. She told me that she would have the dietician get a hold of me and review my food log. :)

So... Yeah... Maybe next week will be my lucky week. I cannot believe it has full week and no loss at all. I know that I will face stalls after surgery, and I guess this is just the preparation for those moments. Or at least, that's how I'm looking at it! Ha!!!

I'm sorry you guys are stalled too, but I guess it is comforting that i am not the only one stalled this week. Patience....not my strong suit.

I'm 16 days out. Lost 10lbs right away then nothing for about a week. The last 2 days I've dropped 4 lbs. it's so tough to wait out those stalls but the numbers on the scale will move eventually.

I guess my perinatal frustration is just because this weight that is leeching onto me, is the weight that is keeping me from being scheduled for surgery. THE only thing standing between me and my surgery date. I'm trying to just not think about it so much and just do what I can do.

      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.
