so tomorrow (monday), my mom has an appointment with the insurance company that i want to get at 9am, wish i can go but i have school so they will be able to tell her if i am getting it at the appointment, and shell text me. so i hope i do get it so i can finally get my first fill! and so i can go to the dentist cause my teeth have been bothering me badly lately. im really excited but i shouldnt get my hopes up.

anywho, i need to admit that i havent been doing well with many things. 1. havent been controling myself of what i eat and i feel like ive been eating too much yet i havent gained or lost anything. 2. i started working out, did 3 days last week, im hoping i can do it 5 days this week or more, how many days do you guys do it? 3. school has been very stressfull with this budget project we just did ugh. theres been a lot of things going through my head i hate it!!

it feels like my mind is stopping me from doing anything

my mind feels so messed up it hurts! >.<

argh, i hope i get this insurance (:

Insurance was the biggest nightmare of my whoe banding experience. But, it finally came through when I needed it most, so ... good luck tomorrow (monday)!!! Your taking a good step with the exercise so keep it up. I found when I wasn't losing that exercise brought my eating back into focus. I don't know why but it was like, when I excercised I didn't want to screw up the benefits so I made better choices. Right now I've stalled because I quit exercising so thanks for posting your situation as, by replying to you, I reminded myself to get back to it.... Keep it up! School and the other stressers are just part of life. They come and they go and we do our best to get through them... just like banding it is just one day at a time! Thanks again for posting... Good Luck to you!

It's Monday- hope you got the insurance. Also- since you haven't gained it seems like your not doing so bad. I workout 5-6 times a week on cardio and 3 times a week on weights with a trainer. That's great you started working out. Keep it up!

youre welcome, i didnt get the insurance so pooo ): but im going to be exercising after this. what i seriously need to do is, get my eating habbits under control, thats my biggest prob i think. yeah this is my worst last year of high school, im doing extremely well and all but i missed a lot at the begining due to the nausea that i recieved from the surgery, it lasted for 2 and a half months, it got so bad where i couldnt stand or sit up but second semester they reset the absent dates so im only at 3 or 4 days missed this semester so far and you could only miss 15, anything over that you automatically fail, you dont get to graduate. so thats what im stressing about the most, i get everything in on time, ill freak out if i miss something and probably have a melt down.

well im glad it helped you :thumbup:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
