Approved - Yipee



Recommended Posts

Although with my insurance I wasn't terribly concerned, it is absolutely great to finally hear I have been approved and the surgery date of Jan 25 is a go! So excited and yet so darn anxious all the same. Now just have to get past my 10 day liquid pre op diet then I can tackle the next hurdle! For the first fime in...forever...I'm looking forward to my next weight loss journey. I have read so much and I really think this is the place for me to be. The right time, the right place. Here we go!

Thanks everyone! Even though the docs office felt it was a forgone conclusion, I was still a little nervous it wouldn't happen. Now I get the pleasure of 2 more days of "obese food" then on to my new food life, starting with 10 days of liquids~ Yay! Ok, not yay, but the approval part is still yay!

So awesome!! Congratulations!! Be sure to take your measurements and a bunch of "before" photos as soon as possible -- you are going to want them later!!

Best wishes for your success,

Catherine

Nice pics Catherine! I'm afraid to take the before pics. :( I don't want to see them. Measurements the same thing. I guess I'll do it anyway, and then hide them until I'm looking as good as you!

      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.
