Glad to hear that you are getting used to the cpap machine. I've had one for years. I hated the thing so much as first but loved how much better it made me feel. I can't sleep without it now.

You definitely won't be wearing it during surgery but be sure to bring it to the hospital. You will want to use it after the surgery.

Thank you! I used to hate wearing it but now I love it and I feel better in the mornings. I can't wait to get the insurance approval which may take up to 2 weeks to get an answer. Did you have the surgery? Or are you in the process of getting it?

I had the gastric sleeve procedure done Sep 28th of last year. I'm down almost 100 lbs. Started at 347 and I am now at 251.

It's crazy but I keep wondering what I will do if I get to the point where I don't need the cpap anymore. I guess that I can get used to not using it easier than it took to get used to in the first place.

I really need to get it adjusted but they will require me to go through the whole sleep testing process again. Even with insurance, my cost will be high. So, I have decided to wait until I am closer to goal.

      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.
