Congrats! You are a success and I love the selfie! At this point, it's all vanity pounds, but I know what you mean about getting there.

I take Ferrimin 150 when I need it. My program recommends ferrous fulmar ate Iron. The Ferrimin includes a stool softener because Iron alone can be pretty binding. I take it right before bed because you're supposed to wait 2 hrs after taking Calcium.

Yep. That's why I don't like taking it... I've been boarder line anemic for years. So it hasn't changed since before surgery but he wants me to do something about it now so he emailed my pcp. Because it's due to girly problems. Fun fun!!

Oh is that iron prescription??

You know Jane his approval meant so much to me too.. I guess I feel a bit of a god complex for him :P

I was in the waiting room and there was a few People in there two were there for their one week out and I thought to myself what a wonderful journey they have ahead of them!

I had to stop myself from talking like a fool to them!

I will go back in six months again and I hope to be even more healthy then.

I so relate to this. I wanted to carry in a lifesize poster of my before pics...and tell all the scared people in the waiting room... "see, see... this really does work!"

Another funny that happened to me is that while I was there waiting at my one year (or was it 18 months?) one of the ladies that worked there was talking with patients, and sorta eyeing me. I didnt want to rudely interupt, but she was one that talked to me alot about my presurgery jitters and reassured me. As I was leaving she said "Jane, I didn't even recognize you - oh wow, how you have changed" she remembered me as the nervous nellie that I was!

Anyway, I am a sleeve evangelist I guess and really want to show people that it can be done. I can remember how much that helped me preop and also... that I sorta didn't believe it. When I saw thin people I assumed they started out pretty small so I guess i want to expecially show the higher BMI people that there is hope since I remember how hopeless I felt.

ANYWAY - congrats again, you are an inspiration Laura!

Congrats Laura, you look wonderful!

I have a difficult time not talking a strangers ear off in my dr's office. Maybe because I know we are all in there for the same thing!

      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.
