Even if I don't reach "smoking hot", I'll settle for medium hot! Still will be quite a difference from the me now! LOL Thanks LOVE! Sesa, I don't think fantasies are bad at all! We want to have a goal in our head of what we want to achieve to help get us there! Fantasize on my friend! :)

Just think you all will be smoking hot this summer

Is it wrong to say I kinda fantasize about this being a real possibility this summer? I want to wear a bathing suit that doesn't have a skirt on it!

@@L.o.v.e Thanks LOVE! Day two is almost done with! Just enjoying a bowl of cream of potato Soup that has been whipped to a full cream! Kinda glad to be going thru this right now. The warm Soups are a comfort on these frigid days! Couldn't imagine doing them in hot, humid days!

A lot of folks say after the 3rd day it gets easier. Your almost to day three hang in there you will make it.

I think walking girl is four! You,me, Mimisan and Walking Girl. However I am on so many threads I may be confused as I haven't seen Mimisan posting in quite a while. I don't even remember if she is a part of this thread or not. But I thought her surgery date was also Jan 26th.

It's not wrong it's perfectly fine and I think you should get the one you want and hang it up where you can see it so whenever you feel weak your goal is right there.

Hello again everyone.

Saw my doc today. He said we need to do all the bloodwork to see what else besides chronic knee pains I have. Tomorrow I go for sonogram and blood. This is the one time I hope that my lipids or my blood sugar are up.

Tuesday I meet the NUT and then they submit. I'm getting very very nervous here. If I don't get approved I can't afford the surgery. I'm hoping for the best!

I just got the call yesterday that I was approved by BCBSIL! (They initially denied me in December.) Official surgery date not yet set but office said it would be end of Feb or beginning of March. I need a cardio clearance appt date and then they will schedule my surgery date. My surgeon requires a 2 week full liquid pre-op diet.

Excited and a bit overwhelmed.

Hello,

My insurance required 90 days and all these test and weight management appointments. I used a group in NJ and they had everything right there. I'm done with everything my date has been set for 3 months and now I'm have my sleeve February 1, 2016. My Birthday is on the 10 so happy birthday to me. Currently on my doctors pre op diet which consist of Soup with nothing in them, broths, yogurt, ice pops, fish, Water and Protein Shakes. It's hard I can't lie, but I'm making it.

i meet with my Internal Medicine Dr. on the 28th of Jan and hoping to get referred to surgeon at that time. My question is after reading everyone's posts. I was never instructed to lose any specific weight nor was i monitored to be weighed in all the time. I guess i'm confused to what is required of me. I just saw a Nutricianist and physical therapy took a few information seminars and that was it. I guess each insurance requirements are different. It has been 6 months. I don't really know what to expect now? any ideas?

Yes. Every insurance is different. To prevent further confusion I recommend you call you insurance and see what their requirements as they vary so much between insurances.

      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.
