Excited to finally be staring my WL journey!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I have struggled with my weight for almost 12 years now. I've been married for that long now and have 5 beautiful children. I currently weigh 250.5 lbs and I'm so excited to be finally on the right path to being healthy! My surgeon is Dr. Michael Seger from the BMI of Texas in San Antonio. He is awesome! I have elected to get the sleeve. I have Highmark BCBS of Texas and do have to have 6 visits with the nutritionist before the insurance will approve my surgery. So i'm looking to get sleeved sometime in July! So excited and anxious! Woohoo! Looking forward to meeting wonderful people and forming new friendships along the way!!!

Welcome! This is a wonderful site. You will learn a lot. I started my journey in August 2014, currently completing the 6 months of classes required by my insurance. I too am expecting (hoping) to have my surgery sometime this summer.

You are in good company here and your journey of one many, so you will be sure to make close and lasting connections.

Best of luck to you!

      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?

      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.
