So new update.
I got a call from Boston medical center clinical evaluation is April 3rd. I have completed all my requirements thus far. And made my surgical goal weight. I am slightly higher right now. But I'm hovering on the mark they wanted. So fingers crossed looking at end of April or mid May . Just have to wait for my insurance to approve.

On the road again- just can't wait to get on the road again, sorry Willy Nelson but I do like your lyrics a lot. So the,path from Haverhill to Boston has suddenly got smoother! Great great great. That's only a little over a week, excitingly good news. Are you getting ready emotionally and physically for it all? Gosh I am happy for you but so so envious. I know my day will come also but
I want it NOW! [emoji20]

Patience grasshopper. My journey didn't come without bumps, landmines and sinkholes.
I tore my planter facia from my foot, I had Achilles tendon issues. I was depressed. The 1program I was in at holy family in Methuen was aweful. The " nutritionist" would tell me to try something. I'd do it. Then say oh don't do that.

Ooh I am going to stay the course, friends like you help me to stay on track. I'm sitting here taking a hit off my nebulizer. Promised. PCP I. would use it more faithfully. My son said I looked like a jet pilot when I started with my Cpap, you can imagine his remarks when,i sit here with flexible plastic tubing and a mouthpiece clenched between my teeth. He inherited my dry wit, alas. 1st time he saw it he said "Hmmm are we going scuba diving or snorkeling ?" Now he just walks by and shakes his head.. I guess it does help some, hope he doesn't submit a picture of me like this or the C Pap to B.P.for comic relief. I just hang on for the sake of hanging on some days, but we all have those at times. Someday I will look all fit and thin and submit an after pix. Doubt if I'll ever submit a before because I find it depresses me. I don't have enough self love or confidence to show the world at large my exterior. I'm not ugly enough to stop a grandfather clock but I have made a few alarm clocks stop ticking. But the new improved frust8 with a little work and,my future tool, I can maybe look GOOD. Bottom line I will feel better about myself.[emoji13]

Hi! I am also a Bostonian, though I am going through Mt. Auburn. I hope they can get you in soon! That’s terrible that it got canceled! At least most of the snow is gone and we BETTER not get anymore. I’m officially over winter!

      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.
