Sorry My itouch have been acting up lately...

My insurance have officially approve my surgery $20,000. My test for the heart (cardiology) came out excellent,my test for the stomach (endoscopy) excellent. All my blood work excellent. No cholesterol,no high blood pressure,no sugar. In fact I would be consider very healthly if not because I'm over weight.

More wonderful news. IDK how I did it but on Monday I was 199lbs therapist scale and today Wednesday I'm 197lbs. OMG!! I'm so happy so very happy... I just can't believe it. I'm dropping pounds like no tomorrow. I'm very happy extremely happy so very happy.. You can tell right? My surgeon is very happy I manage to lose weight on this diet. This is the best decision besides having kids that I done in my life.

Thankyou all for your support on my good times & bad times. Lots of love Maybelin

That is wonderful! How long ago did you start the process?

Hello I started April 30, 2012 this diet. I heard of some people losing a lot,and other a little,but I have to have in mind that everyone is different,and as long as I'm losing weight,and not gaining that is all I care about.

If you want to know how long in total till my surgery day. I started March 2012 appointments,and blood test ect.. till April,and continue May,and now I'm more then ready to start a new life. Looking forward to May 30.

      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.
