Me too. :(

If you are in Houston, we'll have to get together some time... It would be good to have someone to chat and hangout with who's going through this as well.

I was trying to figure out how to pay my remaining balance. I am scared if I get a money order or something it will get lost... Probably my nerves.

That's great only issue with that for me is I don't have time to deposit it. So I'm just getting a Cashier check and I'll fill the rest out later. To insure it doesn't get lost ima keeping it in my pocket.

That's reasonable. I'm a little nervous about that too. That's y I kinda want to use my credit cards but I don't want to pay the service fee because I'm using more then on card. Plus I don't want that much in credit.

R4AC... I think I would rather do that. I am going to email my coordinator to get that information.

Thanks

I know! I just don't want anything going wrong... I don't have a Wells Fargo here, but I will just have to drive to one. I just don't feel comfortable carrying a check for that amount around. I get there at 9...it came by sooo fast!

How has your preop diet been. This full liquid might kick my tail!

It's doing okay I have little struggles here and there. But it turns out we weren't required to do a full liquid. Our paperwork says Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and a salad for dinner. I double checked with Alma days after starting and she said I didn't have to do full liquids. Just follow the plan and the day before surgery Clear Liquids with nothing to eat after mid night. I was so frustrated with that but decided to stick with the liquids it's not going to hurt anything.

      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.
