Hi everyone, just incase people didn't see the earlier comment, there are two fb groups with similar names, one has stopped accepting new members but the other, 2016 November Sleevers, is welcoming everyone (it's still a closed group but just send a request) It's full of lovely folk so far

I've had to cancel my surgery date. My insurance is now saying they with only cover $10,000 max and the surgery total will be around $30,000. Originally the insurance said it was a $10,000 max for the surgeon only, but everything else would be covered. I can't seem to get a straight answer from the Insurance Company after speaking to at least 10 different people. Now what? Any suggestions?

Hi, so I did it! I'll be honest, the first few days have been rough, the nausea has been terrible. I was released from hospital yesterday evening and have managed to get down small amounts of sugar free jelly and banana slim fast. Water is a big no-no at the moment, it makes me feel so sick. But I am starting to feel a bit better and managed a shower today so I'm improving. I just can't get much liquids in without retching hard so I'm taking it easy and I'm going to just add a little sip extra every time x

Toukie-- thought you weren't supposed to be hungry? That is the ONE thing I am looking forward to is not feeling hungry.

If you drink your shakes do you still feel hungry?

      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.
