Hello ladies. First off let me say how happy I am to have found this app and to know that I am not alone. I am just beginning my path to a healthier me. I have at least 3 months before I get scheduled for my surgery due to insurance qualifications. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I haven't psych evaluation tomorrow. Wish me luck. I am looking for a few friends that will accompany me on my life changing experience. Have a blessed day. Hope to talk to some of you soon.

I'm new too. Had my first consult this week and I'm excited to get started! Anyone know how to add a pic or edit profile using the iPhone app?

I click and hold on the person's name and a drop down menu appears that gives me the option to send a private message. I am using my phone though.

My insurance was so unfair! I jad to do a 6 month supervised diet! Just make sure ur psych eval is good for that amount of time. I had that rite before my file was submitted to medicaid. And make sure ur doc test u for h-pylori before u submit to ur insurance cuz they will ask for that.

Most of the preop stuff is very specific and needs to be ordered by your surgeon - or so I thought.

Every referral I've had was good for one year so if I delayed my surgery till Feb of 2014 I'd be fine

      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.
