Bummed Out Day Yesterday



Recommended Posts

I'm still waiting, my tentative date is January 16th. I called the insurance on the 19th and was told I was approved. The surgeon hadn't received the authorization yet so I called again yesterday and was told she made an error and that my request for authorization was submitted for review on the 19th. I had a really bummed out day yesterday.

So now I have to wait a while longer to find out.

I was so excited that I was approved then she burst my bubble... I suppose it could be worse and be told I was denied... Keeping positive thoughts.

I just checked again and they haven't approved or denied so I'm going to continue the positive thoughts. They did however say they would decide today or tomorrow...

I'm with DL on this..the wait and uncertainty suck but fast forward and look back a year from now and all will be worth it. There will come many speed bumps along your journey and the best thing I learned during it all is to always remind myself...This too shall pass!

Good luck! Hope u get your answer soon :)

Thank you DL and ajustice, the worst thing can happen is I have to redo something. I'm feeling positive that it's all going to work out fine. My eye is definitely on the prize. I'm really looking forward to a year from now. Heck even a couple months from now. It's all still exciting, whatever the outcome it'll all 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.
