Insurance Approval

:thumbup:My insurance company called today to let me know that I have been approved for lap band surgery! Yipee!! My insurance company is going to pay for the entire procedure except for a $50.00 co pay.I have to get a barium swallow, EKG and some blood work to do before scheduling. The biggest obstacle now is coming up wit $2550.00 for the doctors enrollment fee! I may have to put the surgery off for a few months so I can have time to save for this fee. That is a bummer! :party:

I need a fill

I really think I need a fill. I am getting humgry every two or three hours. It stinks! I hope I do not gain weight. Bummer. I have an appointment for a fill on the 11th. I have to try and be strong with my eating choices until then.

Surgery Confidentiality

I think that I do not want my co-workers to know that I am having this surgery. I feel like a few of them will judge and I really do not want to deal with their comments. I do not think it is something that I have to share but I need to come up with some story. I thought I would tell them that I have to have my gallbladder removed - I did have it removed some years ago before I worked at this present job. I mentioned to a coworker that I was having problems with my gallbladder area. I forgot that I had told her that it was removed already. She said I thought you had that removed already! Drat!! I am not a good liar. I covered that it was just my digestive area - I feel like such a :party:!! Anyway I am not good at the lying but need to come up with a story. I think I may just pull her aside and tellher that it is a surgery of a personal nature and I dont want people to know about it. I am such an idiot!!! :tt2:

I need to get my tukus in gear!

I have been stalled for about 3 weeks. I also had neck surgery three weeks ago so it is understandable. I need to get back into walking soon! I am so bummed as I need some motivation! I was so strict with walking before my surgery! Now I have to get back to it although slowly. I have been at 211 for weeks!

Protein Shakes

I have had a few people ask my about the protein shakes I love so I thought I would post it here.     The BEST protein shake is Isopure Creamy Vanilla. It has 50 grams of protein with 2 scoops. I mix the Isopure with Hoods Calorie Countdown Milk that has very little carbs and adds about 16 grams of protein with two servings. Then I use DaVinci sugar free syrups and add about 6 squirts of either banana, strawberry, orange, caramel or whatever flavor I have on hand. I get the sugar free syrups at http://www.davincigourmet.com/ I buy pumps for the syrups so it is easy to measure. I buy the isopure here http://www.netnutri.com/browse.cfm/4,186.html or you can get it at GNC the Hoods Calorie Coundown I buy at Wegmans or Harris Teeter. Here is the web site for the product http://www.hphood.com/promos/caloriecountdown/default.aspx?id=1468   Anyway, this is a delicious and virtually lump free protein shake. You can get most of your daily requirements in one shake. Also do not forget to get the blender bottle or use a blender. Here is the link for the blender bottle I like. http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2533170&cp=&sr=1&kw=shaker&origkw=shaker&pg=1&parentPage=search I hope that helps!
