No shopping for me YET. I got three dress in the back of my closet and moved them to the front of my closet. They're two sizes too small. I've missed them dearly. Now they're the first thing I see when I sit up in bed in the morning. Here I come, red dress!!!

Hi @ Trcyprkr70' date='

I'm having surgery with Dr. Coirin Modesto as well this Friday, June 1st. Good luck to you! :)[/quote']

I wish the best on your journey to becoming a new you. Wish I was going to be a June sleever. How long did you have to wait before hearing an answer from your insurance? Also after you was approved by your insurance how long did you have to wait for a surgery date?

This is great! I bought underwear two sizes smaller thinking that I would need them first before any of my clothes! A "mini goal" outfit is a great idea! I think I will shop this weekend for one. I'll leave it on the hanger and dangle it like a carrot! Thanks for the idea! Come on June..........................

I'm waiting to get my surgery date before I buy something. I saw this hott swimsuit in the mall the other day but I got a feeling that my surgery won't be done early enough to buy it and wear it this summer. Maybe I will buy some jeans and fitted shirt for my goal motivation after I get my date. Actually smaller undies sounds like a good place to start. :-)

I'm June 11th as well...no need to buy any clothes right now...I think I have 3 different sizes in my 2 closets (I've lost and found 100 pounds twice before) plus I dress for comfort, not style.....so I will work with those until people began to complain about them being too big! LOL

I wish the best on your journey to becoming a new you. Wish I was going to be a June sleever. How long did you have to wait before hearing an answer from your insurance? Also after you was approved by your insurance how long did you have to wait for a surgery date?

Hi,

I just saw this so sorry for the late response. My insurance approved me in 7 days, even though the office told me it can take up to 30 days. Then when they called, which was May 7 they wanted book me for May.22nd. Which is not bad at all, but the next mandatory pre op class wasn't until May 30th, which gave me my June 1st date. Have you heard anything yet? Or tried calling?

      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.
