[Pct3ch]

Arg. I just started my Day one of the Pre-op diet.

I figured this will turn into a mental game.

Thanks for the info on this.. you rock.

[youwantgeek]

Ugh, liquid diet! Yep, total mental game, but you can get through it!

Wow! I've been watching your videos and you don't look like you're 370lbs!! I'm currently 337.4lbs... my highest weight was about 355lbs. I've considered gastric bypass myself, but finances won't allow right now. So, I'm giving it another go now and hoping for the best.

[youwantgeek]

Why thank you! You've lost some weight already, congrats! I wish you the best with your weight loss, please let me know if I can help at all.

Do you have or have you tried getting WLS through your health insurance?

[kaki0429]

Wow! That was a while ago LOL I think it was because of this video that I started looking into WLS a little more seriously. I applied through my provincial health insurance after I found out they cover it in certain cases. I was approved in a week and had surgery 2 months later. I'm now 4 months out and down 76lbs!!

[MyChaoticWeight]

Congratulations! I'm having my sleeve gastrectomy in 5 days. I was approved right away too. It's only been 3 month since I started this journey. Congrats again!

[youwantgeek]

I'm glad it helped! Gosh, 3 weeks is a long time, but you will do fine and it will all be worth it!  Hope you're feeling okay :)

[abbchupp]

It's amazing what your mind aand body goes through... I had to fast for a week before my surgery was cancelled...So I hear you sister... I actually got physically sick..like withdrawl sick...Good Luck I will be thinking of you!!

[youwantgeek]

Ugh, yeah! Food is an addiction for me, and the withdrawals were real and I could feel myself getting rid of all the junk in my body. Thanks so much for the support!

[youwantgeek]

Hahah! I'll probably be meeting Ms. Laura's doctor as I'm going to the same surgeon!  Thanks for the compliment! I think less cute and more dorky ;)

[youwantgeek]

Thank you so much for the prayers and the extra luck! I'm sure I'll see you soon! :)

I'm tryin'!

[fatgrlshrinking]

Congrats on the weight loss so far. I need to do something drastic for a couple of weeks to get down under 300. I've been trying for over a year and I keep gaining and losing the same 10 pounds. I didn't realize that you were leaving so soon! Good luck and I'll be thinking of you!

[youwantgeek]

Thank you! Well, the liquid diet is pretty drastic so that might be an option. I had the same problem with the same 10 lbs. That's part of the reason I chose to go forward with the surgery. Thanks so much and I hope you're doing well!

[itcomputerchick]

Congrats on the weight loss - you are doing great :) So glad to see are handling it with no major problems :) Hugs, Melissa :)

[youwantgeek]

Thanks! I'm really trying! Hope you're doing well, hugs back :)

[bratlee2u]

Congratulations on the weight loss! You will do fine! There are a lot of us having the surgery together. I go tomorrow morning. YaY!

[youwantgeek]

Thanks! I sure hope so! Good luck and please keep us updated! Congrats!

[DollMoth]

[youwantgeek]

Thanks! I can use all the vibes I can get!

[tiredofbeingfluffy]
