03.19.2013. Approved in less than 2 hours. Its been a long journey. I was approved at another hospital in Dec. And was supposed to meet the surgeon on Jan 30 to schedule surgery date and in Jan 17th I got a call saying they will no longer take my insurance. (After a year and 2 months with this process) Thank God I had seen my current surgeon as a back up. This is so surreal. Yaaa! Too many feelings: anxious scared happy etc etc

I am scheduled for March 11th. I am scared and very hopeful that this will be the turning point in my life. I am so tired of the weight and all of the challenges and problems associated with the weight. I am looking at it as a must do!

On the downward side now. Only six more days to the beginning of my new life. I can't wait. So excited. Can't come soon enough for me. I am sure my other March 7th sisters and brothers feel the same way. Here we go.

@Ashley, Hey girl, just sent you an email and FB add. I had already put that one on my bucket list, only I plan to do the half marathon, not the whole. I didn't even know the Princess offered a whole marathon. Anyway, add me please. I start training as soon as dr. releases me after surgery. I want that race as my goal. What an anniversary present, to all us March sleevers, huh? Count me in.

      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.
