Submitted application to insurance today. Hoping and praying for approval. I have bcbs and I've been researching, seeing a lot of people that have the same I insurance and got approved :) only there's another issue..... my husband does nit want me to have the surgery so besides my bestfriend who is supportive I'm kinda on my own. I don't want this to ruin my marriage though. Any advice? Thanks in advance :)

The last thing I want is to ruin my marriage. I love him so much. I think he is scared of me being skinny again. But I was with him. I love him. I need this for health and so I can be alive for him and our kids.

I suggest counseling now. I know it sounds drastic but it's worth it. Also, have you taken him with you to your appointments? Sometimes that helps lessen their fears. Good luck!!

Insurance approved and will cover all cost :) only thing I been is a 6 month medically supervised diet. Sweet but sour at the same time. I was hoping I wouldn't have a long wait but. Its worth it. I'm not good at waiting. Hopefully time flies :)

      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.
