I'm hoping they submitted my file for team approval today. I want to call but don't want to be a pain. She said last week it can take a week or two to find out. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you too!! I hope you hear from them soon. Maybe call on Wednesday to see if it's been sent. :-)

I got great news today! My son called and informed me that they're having a boy!! They sent me ultrasound pictures. He has chubby cheeks. lol It's a high risk pregnancy so I'll be praying for them. She's in the hospital now, since Friday, trying to get her blood sugar levels under control.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi Nana!! I had a rough start to the week. Battled some depression and stress but I came through it once again. Yesterday and today have been better. I had my 6 week appt yesterday. I was bummed because I'd only lost 21lbs. They gave me some advice so hoping I can start losing better soon. Woke up with a 2 pound loss this morning. I hope I'm past this stall. I need to drink more Water, exercise more and log my food. I do well until my depression hits. I usually bounce back fairly quickly though. I hope they get your paperwork settled soon so you get a date set!! I'm excited for you to start this journey too. Enjoy your weekend!! I'll be stitching all weekend. I need to finish an apron I'm crossing stitching for my mother-in-law before Christmas. I'm such a procrastinator!

Lucky I'm so glad you are feeling better! Congrats on the 2lb loss! That's great. I know my sister started walking after her surgery she never was a walker but she swears that helped the lbs come off. Hope you continue to feel good and keep losing. I'll keep you posted on my info. Have fun stitching!

      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.
