We are doing good. I feel much better with everyday. I am hungry now. liquids are getting old.LOL. I am actually a stay at home mom so work was not an issue. My hubby went in Monday for surgery and was back at work Thursday(office job). I think I will try to stick to the SB but probably phase 2 and 3. I need some carbs in my life. LOL

You can feel the port on your stomach, when you touch it so thats alittle weird. I can now sleep on my stomach again.

Brubear, how are you and your husband doing? Are you feeling better? Did you take much time off from work? I can only be off a week so I am hoping that will be enough.

How is the eating going? Do you feel like things are different? Do you think you will stay on South Beach even after the surgery? Gosh there are so many questions.

I have a permanent back injury it pervents me doing alot of things. I can't bend or stand on my own every long just recently my back has gotten worse. So I hope my PCP can explain that on the form.

They probably look at each case separately, I am sure they will work something out with you.

I have not heard from anyone who has been turned down yet!

      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.
