Waiting is the hardest part!



Recommended Posts

I have 2 wks until my first seminar for WLS @ Madigan AFB. it's so hard waiting because I just want to get going with all the steps I have to go through. And, I had to wait an extra month because the first seminar I was scheduled for in Oct. was cancelled. I'm hoping to have surgery in Jan or Feb. I'm ready for my new life!!!

@@amiclvrt welcome and congratulations on your decision for wls! I am in the beginning phases as well...and waiting is the hardest lol. I think I super obsessed about 2 wks before my seminar and died down a tad about 2 wks after....I had my seminar the 1st of October and had my first supervised diet appt yesterday I have six months of that and an additional 2 months for some specific stuff until I can submit to insurance so congrats on maybe January or February surgery lol!! If you need a journey buddy I'm in the beginning stages with ya so feel free to holler at me! I am scooping up all newbies like me for support haha

Thanks!! Let's be friends for sure. Thankfully I only have about 2 months of stuff after the first seminar and I am already approved by insurance. I'm so ready to get started. I have made a lot of the changes they want this past year and I feel like I am totally ready to embrace this new life.

@@Ethomas15, @amiclvrt....I was the same way. After I had my first Oct. 9 surgeon appt., I breathed, ate, slept and dreamed about my next appt. which starts the official process. I know ai called that office about 5 times with questions and they were always polite and helpful. I am sooooo excited now. I stay on this site to get as much info, ideas and suggestions as I can. I hope to have my surgery in Feb. 2015 as well. Good luck to you both!

@@Ladiec2 I think it's just human nature to be obsessive about this kind of stuff but I think it puts a whole new element when you take people who have dealt with something like weight for so long and imagining a whole new life! Its crazy!

      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.
