Drum Roll Please...I just heard that I am approved by insurance!



Recommended Posts

My insurance has approved me and I have chosen the date of January 26th to get my surgery done. That will be 5 months from the time I got my heart stints and I still have to wait for the cardiologist to approve but I am pretty sure he will!

Now I can actually get excited and start the countdown to what should be a life changing decision. I guess I have to go make me a countdown ticker!!!!

I have decided that just before surgery I am going to have my husband take his most unflattering picture and that way I will have it to compare with a year from now.

It's actually not as hard as j expected it to be. Honestly. I am hungry but I'm head hungry. I see something that looks good or I smell something and I want it but think of it like this. You can always do something for a short period of time.

      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.
