Surgery Dates for July

[mitzie46 116]

I'm doing okay but I cheated a little bit and ate a yogurt parfait. The yogurt wasnt sugar free. yesterday' date=' I cut off a 1/4 of a piece of McDonalds quarter pounder with cheese. I was fine after eating that little piece. Other than that, I'm eating the things they told me to.[/quote']

We can do this!!! I went to bed early which helped. What are you allowed to eat? I'm trying to focus on the reason for it to get me through the day. It seems like it gets better for most people after a few days.

Sure, I'm going to be on it for a while, drinking Water helps, staying in bed some mornings help too gives you en extra shake in the day.

Today's my last day of "real" food and it hit me last night making spaghetti. I'm scared that I won't be able to handle the changes but I've been constantly battling myself over it saying food shouldn't have this much control over my life and that things will be different but there will be SO many more positive things that come out of it. I'm so scared/nervous/excited/terrified lol

2 Protein Shakes, 2 healthy choice/weight watchers/smart ones meals, 2 fruits, tons of Water.< /p>

I'm noticing my temper is a bit short with people at the office. Probably because I'm hungry. After the surgery I probably won't feel this way because I wont feel hungry and if I tried to eat any forbidden food, I will get sick and I dont want that.

The pre-op diet is hard because if I cheat, there is no major consequence other than I won't lose a lot of weight before surgery. I'm still deep in the throes of food addiction so I think thats where my anger is coming from. Similar to when I quit smoking. I was angry all the time. So bad that I had to take antidepressants to mellow me out. Its a good thing this diet will only last 6 more days.

I received a call from my insurance today and they advised I had been turned down for surgery. They advised they had not received all of my paperwork from the surgery scheduler. I just started my two week diet and my nut told me to stay on it. The frustrating part is I have left two messages for the scheduler but I have not heard from her.

Stay on top of them! Don't go off the diet, keep the faith, and hound that surgery scheduler like a hawk until the insurance company gets what they need. Did they tell you what they were missing?

The way it sounded it was basic stuff like psych clearance, nutritionist's notes. I have a PCP appointment tomorrow in the same building as my surgeon. I am going to stop in to make sure they have sent over the info.
