Oh it is, it is. After going through another program (Curses be upon Them!) not once but twice, quite a. twisted story there, I joined OSU's and I SHOULD HAVE been there from the beginning back in August 2015. 2 things bad about program# 1
They wasted my time and my insurances money And Secondly,they didn't appreciate me or work with me for success.
But No Never Mind, I'm where I should have gone in the first place and THEY are WONDERFUL!

I had my consultation this morning and per my insurance, I need to do a 4 month diet along with the psych evaluation and lab work for approval. The surgeon recommended me for the RNY which wasn't my first choice but I guess it makes sense considering the amount of weight I need to lose and my lifestyle. Overall, I'm excited for the process, even with my birthday being in the middle of the 4 months.

Congrats on getting your date! I don't have a date quite yet but fingers crossed I get one. Just think, you'll be giving yourself a wonderful birthday present: the start of a new chapter.

I know! Hope you get your date soon too! They were going to schedule me for 9/14 but that was1 day after the season opener for the Bengals (we have season tickets) and there was no way I was going to be on Clear Liquids during that game! Lol! 😂 The rest of the season....sure! But give me one last game. Priorities you know ...😝

      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.
