:whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo:

I am sitting in my house sorting laundry and the phone rings its a recording. It says to call my health insurance for information within the next 7 days, and gives me an access code. Im still like WTH??

So i call and wham, the lady says "Your approval code for your MT Sinai Hosp stay is blah blah blah your date is JANUARY 30 2008 have a nice weekend!"

I had no idea he submitted the paper work. Last he said to me was get this blood work(hands me a paper) done and says see you in a couple of weeks.

Holy sh_t im cant stop crying and laughing. Im on my way to BANDLAND!:clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

Ok now that i have calmed my nerves some, does anyone know if we can reschedule once we have a date? I was just thinking thats not enough time for me to get everything i need and my son straighten out.

Just asking, I will keep the date if I have to.

      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.
