What to tell your boss question came up. I work in the type of industry and place where everyone will want to know and My boss's relative work with me to. Go figure! It's not a close type area.

Recently telling family has be freeing. But im not looking for support at work.

I don't like lying but I m a private person? Have not even told my mom.

Thanks guys havent been scheduled yet waiting for them to call me and tell me when so I can start the pre op diet... I got approved on my appeal after Aetna denied me two weeks ago because of lack of weight history... I sent in 09' 10' and 12 was missing 2011 but my surgeon did a peer to peer with aetnas medical director advocating for me!!! Then they called me today and said I got approved I was happy I was crying!!!

Yeah! Congrats.

      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.
