It feels great! Everything is just so full of potential right now lol...

I'm not just doing this for cosmetic reasons--although those are important too :thumbup:

I want to be a special agent with the FBI and I'm learning another language, going back to school for my SECOND master's, and I paid of ALL my credit cards. But I realized a couple months ago that it'll all be for nothing if I can't pass a stinkin PFT :thumbdown:!!

Sooooo...I figured I'm not gonna get done in 13 months (about length of application process) what I haven't been able to do in 13 years without a little help. So wish me good providence; I am SO READY!! :blushing:

I got my approval letter recently also and it is such a relief knowing that all of the appointments I have had for the past six months wouldn't be a waste (in a manner of speaking).

I am also scheduled for surgery now on May 19, 2010.

      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.
