    Ha ha cute! Well I'm glad that you gave yourself a chance to get back into something that you seem to love. Belly dancing seems interesting, who knows what I will get myself into once I shrink. lol

    Hey, What were your difficulties? I am glad to hear that you are doing much better! I just hope that I don't get all hyped up now and then slack off before surgery. BCBS requires that I do this 6 month wait. I'm nervous because my job said that they may switch insurances in June. I pray that I...

    Lol Not an "old heifer" though. Wow 1.5 miles in under 5 minutes, you must be power walking! Is belly dancing fun?

    I don't either, that is why when she recommended him I declined. I chose the same team and hospital because it is low key. I'm already scared that I will sprain or strain something going back after six weeks. I see a lot of people have had gallbladder issues after surgery too, have y'all had any...

    I hate going to crowded gyms with people watching me, I used to go to Curves though & I loved it! I wish that I could go back to Curves, but they are closed before & after work.

    Lol Yeah that cooking for yourself is a beast. One of my co-workers is a part-time personal trainer & he said he would help me with different exercises before surgery. I want to try and lose as much weight as I can before the surgery, an so does my doctors. One of my other co-workers had the...

    Awesome! I am joining a gym again so that it won't be so hard to get motivated after surgery. I am also going to purchase this cookbook that I saw on Amazon.com called, "Weight loss surgery cookbook for dummies". It's going to be hard for me planning meals because I can't cook. I really have to...

    Hey Laura. Thanks! I am just getting so excited more and more as the days go by. Have you adjusted very well with lifestyle changes? So crazy, I think that the name Laura has to be followed by Le something. lol

    THAT'S AWESOME WORK!! I know it's bittersweet for you & probably more self confident too. I can't wait to be doing all of that. I will be looking for a 24 hr low key gym after work. I need to go ahead and get myself into the new eating habits before the surgery. I love this forum! I hope we can...

    Hello, My name is Laura, I just went in for my Psych eval yesterday & will be going in for my nutrition appt. tomorrow. I just wanted to know if anyone who has had the bypass has any suggestions of what would work best while waiting the 6 months before surgery. I am really nervous to get this...
