Yay for the insurance finally approving! (boo to delays and additional hoops...) Keeping fingers crossed for you for the rest of this stuff, but it sounds like you're in really good shape for the surgery to happen as scheduled!

Hooray for insurance approval! You can lose that weight. I believe in you!

Meeting with a nutritionist is actually super useful. I learned that I am not getting enough nutrients from my food despite overeating, and I need to take a million supplements as a result. The food portions part has been the most difficult for me; I eat my feelings and I have a lot of feelings. I also had to change 90% of my diet which is brutal.

Thanks!

Man, 90% would be really hard for me, too. I'm glad seeing one was helpful for you!

You didn't even add all the crazy sleep schedule stuff to the list!!

I'm so glad it looks like it's probably going through. :)

congrats on the insurance and moving forward; sadly the beneficial effects of this surgery do largely rely on patients doing a far bit of work and thus all of the requirements because as you saw when you took the course there are a lot of people who don't understand basic nutrition

Gods, from Thistle's description I'm not sure the other people in her classes barely seem to understand basic biology, much less nutrition.

Hahaha I know, right? And basic math, basic logic skills... I have no clue how these people even survive on their own.

Yep. I worry a lot for them, but I hope/suspect I'll do okay. I'm willing to do work and research!
