That your health insurance may have a fitness reimbursement program as well as weight loss support program? I just finished setting up insurance for our employees for the first time at the company i work at. ( Small Business). The Insurance is United Health Care.

The insurance has two riders included in the cost.

Real Appeal and Simply Engaged.... Both of these provide something to the employee. The real appeal is the weight loss support group, but the simply engaged will reimburse 20 bucks a month from your gym membership if you go to the gym more than 12 times a month.

I am super excited about both of these things that are offered. I figured if our company as a small business has these options then maybe most of you may have something similar and should (if not already) be taking advantage of it if you thought about or are currently going to the gym or such.

Doesn't hurt to look into it.

      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.
