Just got approved - waiting on my date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the encouragement! Found out yesterday that they had forgot yet another doc, so I am supposed to hear a yes or no by end of business today from my case manager. So I will definitely no be having anything 1-9-09, but maybe later in the month. Now that also means that I have to try at this liquid mess again (but w/o cheating haha). I will let you know ... I cant see youtube at work but I will check it out later ... here is my blog ... needtoseemeagain's Profile

Hi Shan, I am supposed to go to Chapman Med Ctr.

Girl I have cheated my butt of and been grumpy from hunger ... lol ... I think I am just so iritated that nothing is approved yet and I am still waiting ... just way out of order. So for the most part I have stayed on liquids but I have had a little food at the end of the day just bad bad bad ... I knowww .. emotional eating is bad and I think that is what I am doing.

Ok, Premier Proten, I will check those out. Have a great day, I am really hoping for good new today.

I have Anthem Blue Cross PPO, yeah let me know what you find, I like my protein but I may want some variety. I love V8, I would drink that on any day regular or otherwise. hopefully I will hear some good news tomorrow. I have Dr. Owens who is great, its his office staff in San Pedro that is working my last nerve. Every patient of his is happy and loves him, some have had the same issue with office persons only in San Pedro though not in Ranch Cucamonga, so I know now. I am still encouraged though, I think being my own advocate may work in my favor. I met one of his patients today, who had nothing but great things to say about him, so that was comforting. Ok, tomorrow is another day for us to stay focused on this new way of life, chat wih you later.

Ok, so I counted and my V8's are 70 calories, and each 60grams of proteing drink is 310 calories, so I have to increase my water, decresae my V8 and get creative with the use of my protein powder. Better tomorrow, hahaha. Oh by the way the insurance co called e today, procedures there have changed and a whole different group has to review my paper work on Monday, I am nearly positive my date will change, it would be a miracle if it didnt! I am just going to ride the wave.

I have just been drinking to be honest, but the protein shake is 3 sccops for 60 grams of protein, that is all i have counted. My paper says 140 gm/day of liquid = 200-700 calories/day protein shakes. So now that I am really reading this to give you the right info, I see that 140 is total for day and all the stuff I told you I could have is what I can mix protein powder into and that it is a MAX ... I need to add up my stuff and see what my damage is.

I drank V8 juice like 3 small bottles, 2 bottles of water and 1 Wheybolic extreme Chocolate packet, which is 60 grams of protein and that was mixed with 12 ox of water, it taste good and I am not hungry at all. I only had to remind myself no to eat because it was a habi not because I was hungry. I am also allowed to have broth, SF jello and coffee and tea with artificial sweetners, oh yeah i had a coffee with SF syrup arout 5am. I feel good actually.

I wear anywhere from 24-26 pants & 20-22 skirts, I chose to start my liquid today, I feel fine so far drank all day and had to keep reminding myself not to eat food. Nothing has been approved yet but I have decided I would start on my own, so far so good. I had champagne last night & nachos too lol ... no sweat we will do better ... lol .. yes I have myspace ....

Hey Patty! My name is Raquel and I live n Claremont, CA. Nice to meet you formally! Yeah, the situation is a bit of a mess, but I am really hoping that it is looking up now. I have not started my liquid diet either because I was told to wait for my Insurance approval, so they said I should do at least a week of liquids, so I will only drink liquids on Friday until I find out what's going on. So girllll ... trust me I am really hoping that they would approve this so that my butt and me can sit in the same room .. lol ... Happy New Year, I am looking forward to a size 9 in 2009 and to new friends in bandland like yourself!

Hey, how are you doing? I am still waiting, so iritated about that!

Hey Patty, today was crazy I was so pissed I sent an email to my initial contact and to the person in the office handling my paperwork, basically just telling them how I feel. I called the insurance company several times and I had the doctors office fax me all of my authorization paperwork. By that time I was in communicatin with a supervisor and faxed them my paperwork directly and should here some hopefully good news by Friday. The only issue is if/when it is approved, my date may have to get pushed, I don't want that but I am trying to be prepared for that. As for my liquid diet, I am thinking of using Wheybolic extreme Chocolate & Banana, VG, Coffee, Water, Tea with & without Splenda and Daily Multi Vitamin and additional Iron Supplement. What about you?

9lbs! That is way cool! Congrats ... I have been kinda bummed, I am feeling like I don't even matter to my doctors office. My auth still hasnt gone through and this chick working on my stuff just is not as professional and intentional as I need her to be. Mind you, I am very particular and can be type A sometimes but dang! My paperwork was submitted wrong 1st then the second time something is wrong and she doesnt call me back or even care it seems that my date will have to change if I dont start liquids this Friday. I am so frustrated and trying not to show her my nasty side. I am happy you are moving forward, I am really trying to stay positive, I want this sooo bad.

Hi, we are very close I live in Claremont & our Bday is very close too (mine 9/15) would love to chat sometimes, I am scheduled for Jan. 9 with Dr. Owens.

Hey Patty! Ho w are you doing? You have to catch me up on your lo carb/hi pro diet ... how are you feeling? If all goes well my doctors office says to do 1wk of liquids now that were still waiting on my auth. Kinda bummbed but cest la vie ...
