went showed up 15 mins early watched the lady try and set up a projector screen, Im hopeing she is a better Medical assisant then she is dealing with Computers and projectors! LOL

Claudia Weighed me in, there scales said 303lbs Mine at home say 298 (I like mine better).

The Dr was 20 mins late, he was stuck in OR. No big deal. He finally got there did his speech.

We went in and talked to him. He thinks my insurance (state insurance of Medi-cal) will denie me. Because I have no complications from my weight that could cause me to die, such as high Blood pressure, sleep Apena, High blood Sugar. Im to healthy, lol. So we are going to submit it and see if they denie me,if they do I can appeal. Then if I get denied again I will have to do a Dr supervised Diet program for 6 months - 2 yrs. Or I can join Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers. Personally I dont like there diet plans so Im going to do my own thing. Im going to get in to a Registered Dietitian. Tell her I want to Low carb, which Im already doing. And then force my Butthole Dr to weigh me every 2 weeks and chart it. I dont care if he wants to or not this is my life and he is going to help me get it on track!!! He is always blaming everything on my weight he outta help me lose it.

Any Ideas on what Else I can try?

      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.
