    Yes, I have learned to take tiny sips. The bigger ones hurt going down. I dont get protein till tomorrow. Hope I can handle it. I am just feeling weak today. Looking forward to feeling better. Hope you feel better soon.

    I dont start protein shakes until my fourth day, which is tomorrow. Follow YOUR doctor's orders.

    oklafarmgal replied to oklafarmgal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I know I would feel a lot better if I didnt have my legs feeling so weak today. I dont like feeling like this.

    how long to get to feeling better

    oklafarmgal replied to oklafarmgal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Thanks everyone! I know it will take time. I do know I am ready to taste something that isnt fruity flavored. Tomorrow I can have strained cream soups. I hope I like them. Things will get better. Thanks for all your positive comments! Good luck to all of you! !

    Had surgery this past thursday. I really didnt think it would set me back like it did. Feeling really weak today, but I know it will get better. Pain has never been an issue. I havent taken pain meds. I will just be glad when I start feeling some kind of normalcy. How long before you got back in the groove?

    Thanks joanne! ! Glad to know I made the right choice. Congrats and good luck on your surgery. Had my insurance not paid I would be going to Mexico too. Please let us know how you are doing. I love talking to all the local people.

    Ok, Thanks Megs. I will call and make sure they have him down for the same time. 4-5 hours is ridiculous. Did you end up with one or two night in the hospital?
  11. oklafarmgal
    Congratulations! It's always so exciting to get that approval. My surgery is Thursday. Congrats and good luck to you.
  12. oklafarmgal
    Good to know. Thanks for the info!

    Wow, that's great Missy.....Hope I have that great success....my surgery is Thurday!

    Today is the 5th day of my 2 week preop diet. It's pretty rigid. 4 Carnation Breakfast Essentials mixed with 1 cup of water for each meal. Then, water and crystal light between them. The sweet is getting to me. I broke down and opened a can of diced tomatoes and ate some. OMG, they were delicious. But, I am totally ashamed that I broke down like that.

    So disappointed in myself!

    oklafarmgal replied to oklafarmgal's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I hope you are one the lucky ones that don't have a preop diet, BuffaloCarol. I am doing alot better. I think when I got my insurance approval it really changed something in my mind. In the back of my mind, I really thought that I would not be approved. I am on the straight and narrow now. Surgery is scheduled for this Thursday. No second thoughts here......Congratulations and good luck on your upcoming surgery. Keep us posted!
  16. oklafarmgal
    CarrieP, that is exactly why you should call. You found out what needs to be done. I do not like to leave my destiny in the hands of others. Keep calling and stay on top of it. I called every morning and afternoon. I found out when I called that I was approved. If I had waited for a call from my surgeons office, It probably would have been 24 hours later. I don't think my nerves would have handled it. Good luck.....
  17. oklafarmgal
    Yes Megs, I go in the day before for the egd. What is that like? How long were you drowsy afterwards. I have an appointment later that day with Dr Lewis for the last time.
  18. oklafarmgal
    Thanks guys! I am really excited....
  19. oklafarmgal
    Well thank you very much! I will be sure to post how it all went. It just kind of seems unreal right now. I had planned to go to Mexico if my insurance didn't approve it. I really feel a sense of relief knowing I get to stay here close to home. Where are you located krissj?
  20. oklafarmgal
    I know the excitement that you are feeling. I called my insurance yesterday evening and was told that I was approved. But, this morning, I had to call back and just make sure. Lol.....I started my preop diet before I was approved because my surgeon had an earlier opening. My surgery will be this next Thursday, the 21st. I am really anxious. Good luck to you and congratulations!!

    oklafarmgal replied to jjoyce282's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    It's not fun at all. I am on day 7 of mine. You just literally have to bite the bullet. I have had some major stomach growling events. After about the 3rd day things will get better. Just try to hang in there. Good luck!!
  22. oklafarmgal
    Found out yesterday evening that I was approved by my insurance. I am so excited. So, my surgery date is next Thursday, the 21st.
  23. oklafarmgal
    Mine with Uhc took 4 days. It was submitted monday and I heard this evening that I was approved. My surgery is next Thursday, the 21st. Such a relief to be approved.
