So Awesome! Thanks. I hope you get your surgery approved. If worse comes to worse, are you familiar with the WLS appeals attorney? I really hope you get approved and it doesn't have to go to that.

No, I never knew a WLS appeals attorney existed! I just Googled it and saw WLSappeals.com but nothing else showed up. Is that them? On my phone it said the site was not safe so I didn't click on the link to be safe. Good look out on the WLS attorney. I'm going to research it more. [emoji3]

We'll have to make plans to meet face to face when you're up to it.

What hospital will you be having your surgery at?

I had a smooth RnY surgery that included the repair of a “substantial” hernia. Took a total of two hours.

No complications to speak of, and in 18 months I’ve gone from a high weight of 300 pounds to 160 pounds.

Emotionally I’m wonderful. I can walk around much better now without aching all over, and I can actually walk the floor at ComicCon without needing a scooter to do it.

It’s like night and day for me.

      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.
