Oh no!! I hope and pray you feel better soon. And I know you probably don't want to hear this, but there's always a reason why things happen the way they do. I'm sure you'd rather wait a couple more weeks than worry about complications. So try to keep your head up. Things will work out exactly the way they're supposed to. <3

I was bummed because I was having communication issues with my surgeons office that put my surgery behind (my) schedule. But when I looked at a calendar, the date I got worked beautifully with a lull at work. Just know that God is in control, and you'll have the surgery exactly when you're supposed to have it.

I"m 5'6'' and 36 yrs old. My surgeon says I should get down to about 135 lbs. (that was a little bit lower than my idea of 150 lbs but hey' date=' skinny not just smaller, right?) My starting weight is 297 lbs. Can't remember the last time I weighed 135 lbs I have no idea what size 135 lbs would make me, maybe some of you guys could give me an idea.

I have a relatively small waist with big butt/thighs and hefty boobs. Had a nice hour glass shape when I was younger and smaller. Hoping to see that shape again soon[/quote']

We have almost the exact same stats! I'm 5'6 and a half and I'm 37 but my highest weight is also 297. But my boobs r far far from hefty. LOL! I've never been "small". I've always been the biggest girl in class....or at least I've always felt that way. Therefore, I don't really know what kind of shape I have. LMBO. How sad is that?! But I will be finding out!! I think my doctor wants me down to 155 which would put me in the "normal" category for BMIs. And since I've never been small or under 200 lbs I have NO IDEA what 155 would look like on me. I got down to 212 one time and thought I looked super 'small' at the time. Perspective is something else! LOL.

Thank you very much. I am already starting to feel better after some gargling and such, minus my one stuffed nostril (which I hardly think is cause for surgery cancellation. Lol). I know it is all in His timing. I'm trying to remind myself of that I'm just being selfish. Lol Im sick of waiting! Haha

I'm so glad!!! I always have a stuffed nostril or two thanks to my allergies, so I think you'll be fine. :)

Hi everyone! I am new. My surgery is next Monday, June 10th. I am excited and so far not nervous at all. I try to do as much research as I can to know what to expect and have the best outcome possible. Good luck June surgeries!

Good point! Probably just allergies. Definitely not a reason to cancel!

I'm losing my mind about the fact I plan on going back to work a week post op. My surgeon wanted me to wait two and financially I can't. My fiancé and I broke up at the end of March and paying everything on my own now, I can't take the time off work. Now I'm paranoid I'm doomed to have a complication and get stuck out of work and get evicted or something.

      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.
