If you have a chance; take a look at my blog....I post every Sunday and have for the past year....will stop in a couple of weeks, but it will give you an idea of what to expect. If you can't see the link to my blog on this it means you don't have signatures turned on and you should do that; it's helpful to see what others have in their signatures. Good luck!

To Finallymj: for my blog best to start at www.queenofcrop.com/about From there you can start at the beginning in October of 2011 and go forward, or read the last post.

Hey everyone! Hope everyone had a great holiday!! Sorry I've been off the map sense then! A little update on me.. I have my last appointment for my 90 pre required visits on February 21st! Had my sleep study on Friday the 18th, get my results next Thursday the 31st, so I will find out if I have apnea or not! But then I will just need to wait ,-) once I have my appointment on the 21st, they will submit for approval, I don't need the co morbitities because of my bmi and my doctors office has only had 3 denials in the past 2 years, and they even have an on staff mediator person who will fight your insurance if it is denied so, still hoping all goes well with approval process. So as of yesterday I have 30 days until my submission! I joined the gym and have been going approx 3 times a week for an hour each visit. Other then that, just living and working. ;-)

I might of written that funny! My insurance requires 90 days of pre required nutrition visits. So it's one visit a month so three visits and then the 4th and final required visit is on or a few days after my 90 days! Basically I meet with my nutritionist and we set goals and talk about eating better and what not. It's easy just long process!

      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.
