Getting Closer And Closer



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone I'm getting super excited. 3 months done out of 6 for medically supervised diet. Be done in febuary and submit in march (hopefully) today I called the surgeons office because I have been waiting since august or september for my sleep study referal. And the lady at the surgeons office said he didn't put that I needed this. I'm sitting here like well he told me I do lol. Well anyways long story short, I am switching my insurance plan on march 1. And the insurance I'm switching to is much easier to be approved than the one I'm on now. So anyways she told me to call her in march to get it scheduled I totally cried! I was so worried that would push me back to june or july before id have the surgery. Well omg I'm so happy the sleep study place called and I have an appointment for a consultation on december 17. I'm like yay that's a month away now I won't be pushed back! I can still possibly have it by mid april! (And that's at the latest) thank god the got this taken care of today I already been waiting about 3 months lol so excited because things are so close and I'm happy. I've never been so happy for something ever and reading everyones stories completely makes me even more excited! Yay lol I haven't been able to express this to anyone other than my family. But omg when they called I cried I'm so happy! Anyways sorry for blabbering on just so happy! :-D

Hey, bro, wow the sure put you through slot of hoops. Are you Retired? Reason I ask is if your on Medicare you need to switch to Humana. I did and was able to complete my test needed and have Surgery all in 2 months. No diet plan. I'm sorry it's so long. I live in Arizona. I had my surgery on the 7th Nov. doing great. Main problem in stomach pain due to the Staples. Has Gastric Bypass. Good luck.

One step at a time. Stay Positive :-)

      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.
