Thank you so much for your response!

Yes, they are aware of the weight loss and the new habits. I had monthly nutritionist meetings and went to the monthly group session that Dr. Fitzer offers...

My Dr. gave me a goal of losing 35lbs before my 9/30 surgery date. I had over 3 months and I was there! I had lost 42lbs.

Apparently, I have become allergic to fresh cut grass again (was...

Did your doctor not go into this with you? From some of the questions I've read tonight.. it floors me. NOT that people are asking this question... but that they HAVE to ask this question. Like.....

Hi Debbie,

I am from VA too! Right outside of Dulles Airport near DC. Have him talk to your doctors with you and have him ask them questions. Also, ask him why. Maybe some of the veterans on...

I'm at my overnight sleep study. Something else I can check off my list.

The suite is beautiful just like a five star hotel.

Awesome! Thanks for the info. Keep us (or at least me) updated. This is fantastic and something I will share with my PCP and my Bariatric Surgeon because I think the potential is amazing.

I was told I had to give up soda (diet for me) not so much because of the caffeine or the fizziness, but in the long term when I will be able to eat/drink anything I want, Soda actually has chemicals...

I'd definetely like to know more about it and how it you think it works.

I'm surprised more people haven't liked your post. You do look absolutely amazing.. and you should.. after your hard work!

Thank you for being confident enough to post your pics. It makes me...

They see you running... :) :) :) :)

Can you tell me more of what the sleep study is like? To be honest, I'm more than alittle nervous to have people watching or at least studying my sleep.

My heart aches for you right now. That is a tough spot to be in.

Please take it easy on yourself. No matter what happens, be gentle to yourself ans don't beat yourself up.

I met my surgeon today!!!!!! He and his staff were wonderful, very supportive and helpful. Just what you'd hope for.

Found out my insurance covers it 100% after my deductible of $3k (which we...

That is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

My first appt is next Friday but I've already made alot of changes (hoping to push through as quickly as possible since I've been waiting two years).
I do Yoga twice a day. Which for my size... is...

aafunnyca and ShannaBanana, you both give me such hope.

That brought a tear to my eye because I can totally relate. I've been compiling a list of all the NSVs I can't wait to accomplish.

I wouldn't get one of the flavored ones, personally. Too much sugar and additives.
You can mix Protein flavoring into it instead of water, or Mio or CrystalLight. Like dyberrah said.. plenty of...

Well... What if it doesn't? Like you, I have tried everything. What I'D this doesn't work. It's bugged me for awhile now.

If I'm not compliant, it's my fault.

If it's for any other reason,...

I was just looking thru old threads. This was really neat!!!!

that's also why they stress protein. If that is where you are getting your calories from, your body is on a ketosis state. If you are getting it from carbs, it is not. It is much easier to burn...

My current insurance doesn't cover it at all. I have Anthem. And what sucks is that Anthem does cover it (under certain plans) but my husband's company doesn't have it mentioned at all. ...

So I have my awesome rebounder (personal trampoline). I'm up to 5-8 minutes/4x a day.

This is wonderful before surgery, but after surgery, wait?does anyone know how long I will have to

OMg.. you guys are just super awesome!!! Thanks so much!
