Congratulations!!

Very exciting news! Mine was 1-13 (Monday) and I am home now.

There was one time when the thought "what have I done!?" crossed my mind while I was still in the hospital but now that I am home there's no doubt in my mind I did the right thing. I'm probably nuts for thinking this, but on the drive away from the hospital my husband asked me what I was thinking and I said it felt strange to leave a piece of my body that has been with me my entire life behind. The only other time I've been hospitalized was to have my daughter and of course when we drove away that time I had my wonderful baby to bring home with me. I think a lot of it was just fatigue and screwy emotions mixed with the pain meds and everything else. Now that I've had a full night's sleep and am on a more regular schedule I'm so excited for this next phase of my life. I already feel lighter and more positive about my life in general. Great decision for me for sure!

Well I decided in June this is what I wanted. I had to save for my portion of the cost. I'm guessing had I been ready from the start it would have taken 4-6 weeks to get scheduled. I guess it depends on insurance requirements etc. I paid

My portion on Monday and got scheduled today.

My initial consultation was the second week of Nov or so. I self-paid so I was basically at the mercy of the scheduling desk. I had an endoscopy 12-13 or so, and then was instructed to begin the liquid diet on 12/30 for a surgery date of 1/13/14. So from start to finish, only a couple of months. I explored the insurance route, but they required either 6 months or a year of counseling and classes and stuff. I didn't want to wait that long and it wasn't very expensive anyway so I just jumped right in I guess you could say.

      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?

      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.
