I just heard from the surgeon's office. They were able to get me in to see the surgeon at 1:00 on June 27. That means that I will have surgery within a few weeks of that date (from what I've seen with her other patients). I won't have to resubmit all my crap to insurance!:clap2:

Thats great Lauren!!! I saw your signature line yesterday and was quite worried that you would have to start the whole process all over again after you switched insurance policies!! So glad that you can get in sooner!!!

Ooh, hey, I figured out how to get rid of the chick, if you're interested. Just go to your control panel, click "edit options," and go down to "forum skin" (under miscellaneus options). You can change it to where the girl isn't showing.

Ohhhh no more floating arm. At least some good will come out of this day lol. Congrats on your date, I am sure it has been frustrating as hell for you thus far. Hope the rest is smooth sailing for you.

Thanks. I have actually just hit a crappy plateau that I am hoping will just go away soon. I purposely upped my exercising and stared journaling my food at the begining of the month and that is when it started. I really hope I am gaining some muscle here or something because boy oh boy is it frustrating to not see the scale move.

      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.
